He did not offer to contribute in any way and I find myself feeling disappointment. He cannot cancel. He said he would like me to join but understands if I cannot make it due to finances. He seems relaxed about it and said we can make plenty memories next year. I wouldn't expect him to contribute to your share, but did you try to negotiate a holiday which you could afford? If you tried to compromise to something which was affordable for you both and he's gone ahead in booking this holiday, it shows him as being rather selfish. Link to post Share on other sites

This. OP, you need to stop fooling yourself into thinking this time will be better. Plan something else for the holidays instead, so you can still enjoy yourself and not tormet yourself with thoughts of him on a hot beach slamming cocktails without you.

If this is characteristic of your relationship in general, then that's how you will feel. This is a common drawback in on off relationships. Living full lives apart but then crash landing back into each other's lives. Had you either stayed together or moved on to someone more compatible, you would be sipping drinks in the sun with that person rather than standing by looking on from a distance at someone who made plans and will have fun that doesn't include you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
