Fair or not fair?

When I was single and used to holiday with friends of mine who were a couple I always paid half the cost of anywhere we stayed (that had a fixed price like a cottage).

I feel that's a different situation and I'm not sure I'd feel that was quite fair to you but if you were happy then great.

You're right, it is a different situation, and if anything less fair to me than to the person now trying to jib out of paying their fair share, but I was happy to do so (and would again).

I would cry off also, then suggest a 50/50 split between your husband and him, then, when he has paid up, change your mind and re-invite yourself!... Jobs a good 'un!

I was just going to say exactly that!

Every other year we and two other couples go away together and split the cost three ways  (each couple paying a third).  We always have a big house with at least three double  beds and three baths so it is not cheap.  One year one couple pulled out .  They still paid their  full share.  In fact they insisted.  

IMHO, this is as it should be, as we had already paid the deposit for the house.
