Dating is a adventure it unfolds has you go allong. The economy in the west is stronger and a man from west should only spend what he can afford and what his hearts wanting to give. Personally giving makes me feel good has a person be it my children or to a person I'm dating I don't count the money I give. In business I count money has business is business but gifts in personal life is gave from the heart and shouldn't be listed. If Patrick went to macadonia with a beautiful young woman she contributed her time and afforded him the passion, and he contributed his money. The children situation seems to be the deal breaker here. If you take a woman on a date or on holiday it don't come with a guarantee or warantee. You can't beat a holiday within a relationship and he needs to take the good memories from that and leave any hurt behind
