This is the second time this has happened, and it's just as annoying as the first time!

Somebody wants to visit me or have me come visit them, but i can't get any time off work and they don't have the money to aford a flight.

I offered to pay for some or all of the flight for them to come over here, but they said they didn't feel comfortable with that. I could pay for a flight to come visit them if i could just manage the time off, but paying for a flight for them to come visit me is somehow different? Argh!

The sad thing is i understand how they feel, i'd probably feel the same way in their shoes. I'd like to think that i would listen to logic though if the situation was reveresed.
