AITAH / WITAH Grandpa offered me to gift me a vacation, then rejects it when I made plans a couple weeks later
Hello Reddit,
My grandpa offered me, in hindsight maybe in a passive-agressive way, to pay me a vacation. I believe he is not a millionare, but he is well off none the less. He thinks I dont leave my home often enough, and kinda blames me for it.
So I made some plans for next year, for a trip to thailand, to take a massage-class, and learn it from where it is originated.
Today I told my plans, and that I know that its a long distance, and I am happy to pay it myself, but he can add whatever he wants, since it was his idea.
He got completely cold, said that only sextourists would visit thailand and that he wont give me anything for it.
I mean its his good right not not give me anything. I got a little defensive and said that it doesnt matter how much he gives, but I am disappointed because it was his own idea.
Im really let down by the whole story, not because of the money, I can afford this trip easy by myself, but it kinda showed me, that the offers my grandpa makes are some kind of manipulation and not genuine.
I share close to nothing about my life (I am trans, he doesnt even know) and this interaction showed again, why.
So did I acted like an asshole, when I kinda pushed for the support, cause it was his idea? Or should I haved it droped the second he said no?
Would I be an asshole if I would make this the reason for myself to dial down my engangement? Again: Its not about the money at all. I have enough money myself. Its about how I get treated.
