My girlfriend and I have been together for almost a year now. We’ve had some amazing trips together, but the most recent one was the source of a major argument between us.
The plan was to travel to Penang for a week-long vacation. I had already booked the flight tickets and accommodation, and we were all set to go. However, my girlfriend had other plans in mind. She wanted to fly Singapore Airlines, claiming that it was the only airline worthy of her high class status.
Needless to say, I was not happy. Singapore Airlines tickets were much more expensive than the ones I had already purchased. I tried to explain to her that it was a waste of money, but she wouldn’t budge. We argued for hours and finally, I gave in and booked the Singapore Airlines tickets.
The next day, I was furious. I had gone out of my way to make this trip special for both of us and now, my girlfriend was demanding more. So, I took matters into my own hands and decided to surprise her. I booked a bus ticket to Penang instead of the Singapore Airlines flight.
When my girlfriend found out, she was livid. She accused me of not caring about her and not understanding her needs. She said I was trying to make her look bad in front of her friends and family. I tried to explain to her that it wasn’t about money or class, but about us enjoying our holiday together.
Eventually, she calmed down and agreed to take the bus. We had a great time on our trip and I think it was a good lesson for both of us. We learned that sometimes, it’s not about money or status, but about enjoying each other’s company.
Since then, my girlfriend has become more realistic about her expectations. She still enjoys the finer things in life, but she’s now more open to different options. We’ve had a few arguments since then, but I think we’ve both grown from the experience.
My girlfriend may think she’s high class, but I’m thankful that she’s now more willing to travel via different means. I’m glad that I was able to surprise her and show her that sometimes, the bus can be just as fun as the plane.
