Would you accept the offer?

No, but I would make her feel sorry enough that she would go out of her way to 'repay' me in other ways she wouldnt regularly bother with as my steady gf

You know, there's a whole sexual fetish devoted to fun with the contents of one's stomach...

Replace them yourself. It was an accident.

May I ask, a little off-topic, how on Earth can a girl get so drunk? I might be a victim of Old World mentality, but I think drunk women are one of nature's most pathetic spectacles... and a total turn-off...

Depends on if they are ANNOYING STUPID drunks or not.

As for how, kindly refer back to my earlier PSA. Tastes like fruit juice. Damn near 3x the alcohol of most mass market beers. Sometimes you just don't know what you're getting into.

Unfortunately it doesn't take much to spend several hundred dollars on bedding. Especially with larger bed sizes.

Decent bedding for my king waterbed is going to cost me somewhere around $500, $200+ for sheets alone.

I love the bed (as does the g/f), but that's a damn lot of money for sheets.

If you have any class at all, tell her thanks for the offer but you'll take care of it.

huh if it was my room when i was single the sheets probably hadn't been changed in like 2 months anyway, and needed to be thrown out and replaced. let her pay for them, she feels bad and wants to make things right so let her.

oh, and like others have said, the fact you used the term DUVET means we take your man card.

and maddox is HILARIOUS.

She's your mate, if only temporary. I'd wager to say you have gotten a lot more out of the relationship in physical intimacy, emotional support, and companionship than can be measured in dollars.

Sheets come and go after all, the memories of your relationship are lasting. Asking someone to pay for something like that or even accepting the offer (unless you're broke or something and don't have spares) is rather petty IMO.

Wtf is a duvet?

That being said, if shes not broke, and she offered, take it. She offered it, she puked, and if she gets upset that you took her up on her offer, call her out for the scheming bitch that would make her.

The scariest part is you're a single guy who not only knows what a duvet is, but has one!!!

Yes. No question. She ruined it, so f*** her if she doesn't like it. Heck, if I were married and my wife ruined something expensive that I paid for, I'd make her replace it out of her money.

Women want equality? Fine. I'll give them equality... and the bill.

Pretty much a no-win for you.

I might say something like, hey everyone makes mistakes and does something stupid, and I was tired of that stuff anyway, why dont we split the cost of some new stuff. Of course make her promise to show you a good time on the new stuff. :D

This sounds fair and FUN! I'd take his advice.

The thing is, legally, as well as morally, once you're married your assets are joined. That's the point.

There's no such thing as YOUR money or HER money.
