But if you REALLY must know, it's a girlfriend that has been an on/off thing for about 5 years, and 95% of the time has always been long distance. When she was a short 3 hour drive away, no big deal. Then she moved to Texas, and flights from where I am to there, upwards of $400 on the cheapest occasion. Throw in the fact that while she was there attending school, she did not have a job - therefore no income. She has had no income for these 5 years, and being that I do, I ALWAYS pay for everything.
Zoom forward, I just treated her to an awesome vacation out in Morro Bay, CA just this last month - not a cheap place to visit, let alone book activities etc. That's the 9th time I'd flown her to where I am, out of my pocket, with no financial help from her. Top it off with her waiting on some results from a CT scan, and is on Dr's orders not to travel until they get back to her, which they still haven't.
Long story short - you may voluntarily pay to have your "girlfriend" go with you to Vegas, and I have, twice already this year, along with her sister and her sister's boyfriend. This is for MY birthday, not hers, which means my money is going towards gambling, drinks, shows, and food. Instead of spending twice as much on everything I want to do, her goal was to pay for herself if she could.
But yeah, thanks for being suspicious. -_-
