He makes 3-4 times what I make and goes on 3-4 vacations a year. So far this year he has been to Hawaii, China, and Italy. This would be my first vacation of any sort in 2 years. I'm the one that can barely afford to go.
I don't know his new girlfriend well, but it is possible that she told him he can't go. I met her once two years ago when he was in state to visit family. I haven't seen him or her since. She is Chinese, so she may be conditioned to quietly run the household.
I'm not asking for anything, but if I backed out on someone else, I would make it right by making sure the other person could continue on at the same cost to them. As it stands, at the very least I was out the money for my ticket because he backed out (assuming he does pay me for his ticket). The hotel I booked was cheaper than the one that he had on hold.
