Boyfriend Treats Girlfriend To A Cruise, But It All Goes Sour After She Demands Half The Onboard Credits He Was Awarded
A vacation meant to fix things turns into a fight over free money.
A 28-year-old woman’s cruise getaway turned into a full-on relationship spreadsheet the second she asked for half the onboard credits her boyfriend was awarded. Sounds romantic, right? Not when those credits are tied to what he got, not what he planned to give. And it gets messier, because OP’s girlfriend apparently doesn’t trust him after a past blowup involving his secret plan to take this vacation with his ex.
Now he’s stuck in the comments, wondering if the cruise apology was just the next move in a longer pattern.
Let’s dig into the details

“YTA for keeping your girlfriend on a purposely information diet when you are supposed to be a partnership.”

This tip-debate gets messy fast, just like the solo diner who refused tipping above 10%.
According to the Redditor, OP’s girlfriend doesn’t trust him due to his past antecedents

“But if you like your girlfriend, why wouldn't you want to share the credits?”

“You leaving the key detail leads me to find you unreliable and probably leaving out more key details.”

“ESH- why is everything transactional between you two? nickel and dime-ing each-other.”

“YTA. You bought this cruise to apologize for doing something wrong and immediately do something wrong again.”

That’s when the “half the credits” demand hit, and OP’s girlfriend made it clear the cruise wasn’t the whole story for her.
Redditors immediately clocked the missing details, calling out how OP left out what he did first to trigger all this.
The comments also dragged the earlier “secret plan” fight with his wife into the spotlight, which explains why she was already on edge about trust.
Once the credits turned transactional, the verdicts started rolling in, with people labeling OP the asshole for repeating the same trust-damaging move.
Apparently, the prior altercation he had with his wife over his secret plan to take this vacation with his ex had damaged her trust in him.
We now know the genesis of everything and why she got triggered about the credits.
We do hope they can have an honest conversation about the entire situation and find a lasting solution.
We’d love to get your thoughts in the comments.
He might have meant “apology cruise,” but it landed like “new problem on the itinerary.”
