Ex’s family refuses to pay woman $3,000 back for a vacation she booked for them, so she keeps the reservation and uses the trip herself instead of canceling it for them

  • My ex's family expects me to fund their trip after we broke up

    My ex and I dated for a year and a half. Before we split, his cousin invited us to a destination wedding(when we trip).
  • His mom asked me to book everything - flights and accommodations for multiple people. I put over $3k on my card since I have decent credit and they said they'd pay me back later.
  • Three months later, we've broken up. His mom emails asking for the booking details. I remind her they still owe me money and ask if they'll reimburse my portion since I'm obviously not going anymore.
  • She loses it. Says I'll "get my money eventually" but refuses to cover my share of the hotel.
  • Then threatens to tell everyone I'm holding their trip "hostage" because I won't hand over the info until I'm paid back.
  • My ex calls me unreasonable and says I'm "making everything about money" when I know they're struggling financially.
  • But I'm out thousands of dollars here, so why is that my problem? So I told them fine, I'll use the vacation I already paid for.

  • I'll take one room at the Airbnb, they can have the others. I've got the time off work anyway.
  • Now he's saying I can't just show up. But it's MY reservation that I paid for.
  • The alternative is I cancel everything and they can rebook at current prices, which are way higher now.
  • I'm not going to the actual wedding, but apparently expecting to use the vacation I literally paid for makes me the villain here.
  • So let me get this straight, I'm supposed to hand over thousands of dollars, cancel my own trip, AND be grateful they'll "eventually" pay me back when things get better?
  • Cool cool cool. Very reasonable.
  • Epsteinscorpse take the vacation, smile and wave with your mimosa ( and maybe find a date) while they get worked up. Drink their tears
  • RipIntelligent1525 Original Poster's Reply hahahhah good idea

  • pooborus Cancel everything. Are you stupid?
  • Martha90815 CANCEL ALL THAT SH !
  • BeautifulChaosEnergy I am positive I have already read this post word for word last year. But cancel everything you can and plan something else for yourself
  • No_Border_3094 Cancel everything
  • dbhellmith Wouldn't it be against airbnb terms if you booked for someone else and didn't show up?
  • PNW_OILady_2025 If the AirBnB is in your name you need to either 1) cancel it right away or 2) reach out to the host and change the reservation to your ex's name or his parents and get their card on the reservation. Any damage they cause, which at this point would likely be intentional, would get charged to YOUR card. YOUR AirBnB rating will be affected as well. Get this entire trip out of your name and off your card. You owe them nothing, don't let them convince you otherwise.
  • FineStranger4021 Cancel the whole thing. You're never going to get any miney back.
  • 2katmew They'll never pay you back. Cancel everything.
