Ex girlfriend owes money

LegacyUser

So I'm in a pickle here and would like some other people's advice on this.

Myself and my ex broke up roughly this time last year. Before we broke up we had arranged to go on a holiday with my parents. My ex's flights were booked for her which came to rougly 250-300e.

We broke up shortly afterwards which obviously meant she didn't go. BUT my parents were caught for the payment of the flight.

So here's what I'm asking: Is it wrong of me to ask her now to pay my parents for the flight?

If you broke up with her, then you should pay the bill.
If she broke up with you, then you could ask her.

I am a friend

You pay your parents back (can't believe you have not done it already) and then ask her for your money back..

Your parents were caught for payment of the flight? Eh, no they weren't.. she was your girlfriend, you pay for it!

Consider asking a friend along on the trip and pay the fee to change the flight into their name.

I don't have the money to pay back my parents for the flight (the holiday was a gift to me) and the ex asked could she come along. I can't afford to pay for my own flight let alone my ex's.

To get the same flight etc she needed to be added to the original booking which my parents had made.

She agreed to pay my parents directly. not me, since it wasn't my money.

For €300?

OP, grow some and take some responsibility. You pay your parents and settle the bill any way you like after that.

As said above, you owe your folks roughly 250-300e, hurry up and pay them back, it's been a year.

It's then up to you how you pursue the ex or absorb the loss.

That's really all to be said on it.
If you broke up with her, you'd be taking the piss to turn around and ask her to pay for flights that she (effectively) wasn't allowed to take.

But if she broke up with you, she did so knowing that the flights are forfeit and it would reasonable of you to ask for the money.

If she refuses, then just give your parents the money and refer to her forevermore as "the bitch who stung me for €300".

Thanks everyone. Can a mod please delete/lock this now?

I once went out with a fellah for six mths and we had arranged to go to the USA. Tickets bought and paid for. 500 Euro a ticket.
anyway he dumped me one mth before said holiday.
Im not the type to care about money stuff so I said nothing, went off and licked my wounds!
two weeks into being dumped he turned up with an envelope with my 500, he said his Ma gave him a bollicking for treating a girl so badly and leading her up the garden path!
I was delighted went off on a shopping spree, many many high heels.

We got married one month later in Las vegas but thats another story!

moral is i think you should prob pay your parents back the money. she was ur bird .
