29-year-old software engineer asked to front $4,000 for his 27-year-old girlfriend's vacation after she quit her job and can't afford the trip: 'That's not acceptable. I'm not a bank!'

Just because you're dating someone does not mean you have to bear the burden of your significant other's poor decision-making. 

This, of course, is especially true when the couple in question does not formally share assets. In this instance, we're talking about a couple that had been dating for approximately two years but hadn't yet committed to one another in a long-term sense. In other words, there were no plans for getting engaged any time soon. All this to say, this 29-year-old software engineer did not necessarily have to pay an extra $4,000 for his girlfriend when she realized she could no longer afford their upcoming vacation.

For some more context, the 27-year-old impulsively quit her job, which did, in fairness, sound like a soul-sucking workplace environment. That being said, she didn't have a plan for income in the meantime, nor did she properly save money for big expenses she knew were coming up soon. One of these expenses was the couple's first big vacation together in Greece, a trip they had previously decided to split 50/50 between the two of them.

Well, it looks like the author was put in an uncomfortable position, in which he either needed to front $4,000 so his girlfriend could join him in Greece or he needed to cancel the entire trip altogether. What would you do? Keep scrolling below for the full story!
