... in response to WHAT WOULD YOU DO?, posted by rwnovice on Nov 15, 2002Don't give her either of the choices. She would probably agree to the lesser accommodations, but she has already sent you the signal that she cares nothing about costing you a lot of money. Guaranteed (almost) that she will complain during her entire stay with you about the hotel, that she will want to go to expensive places, that she will want some jewlry, etc.
See my posts below about voluntarily spending too much money on a RW. That leads to nothing but problems, but isn't half as bad (I think) as a situation where it is the RW who asks that the money be spent on her.
