Can't you get a refund?
I lost over ten thousand this time last year, for a missed month long luxury visit to NY and surrounding areas. Cruise out on the QM2, stay booked in a five star condotel, Z06 booked for several days to explore all the way to Niagara (expensive foreign driver's permit purchased, now expired), night at the Standard for the porn star experience, Sopranos tour booked, trips planned to Great Adventure and the USS New Jersey, and on and on and on. Had to cancel last minute, lost everything, still haven't picked myself up. My life is literally a sh!tshow right now. It really, really sucks to be me these days.
Guess what. It was all preferable to going with some manipulative other who would make me hate myself for being there.
Get a refund or cancel anyway. It's only money. Use the time off work to go where the women are and start spinning plates - safe in the knowledge that your entitled cupcake is far away.
