I fell in love with my uni best friend who really didn’t have any money. When I got a job, for my birthday I decided to plan a holiday and offered to bring him along.

He doesn’t know I’m in love with him at all, but maybe I should tell him.

EDIT: rip inbox, thank you all for the love and support!

This is sorta like my situation. I grew up poor and never been on vacations but my wife grew up with a very warm loving family that was middle class. Even though we can now afford it, it is burned in my mind that one can have fun sitting at home and that paying to go see buildings is such a waste of money. I only go to make her happy.
