I only have my immediate family, which includes my siblings and mom. My mom does not work and has 2 of my siblings who can work already living with her and paying the bills, the youngest 2 who I just recently took back to my mom's aren't old enough to have jobs. We've discussed me just getting a hotel for a single night, but it kind of seems like a waste. I don't believe I have many more options though, so a single night is better than being alone.
well to be honest, if you’ve both split up i don’t think your expenses are his problem. Are you paying half rent/mortgage and bills? If you are, you get a say weather you invite your family over and if your not, i don’t see why he should cater to your needs and wants if your not together.
I agree that my expenses are mine, and his are his. I don't expect him to pay anything regarding my trip I just feel like he's forcing me to choose a more expensive route than I want to take, he pays the mortgage and I pay all other utilities plus groceries, spending wise they total about the same. I don't expect him to cater to me. I do expect him to be reasonable but I guess that is too much to ask.
Can you ask your family members to help you pay for the expenses for the trip?
