I won a contest at work. I cannot take the cash equivalent as they just don't work that way but I won the following:

2 night stay at a very nice hotel ($300/night ish)
Dinner at the hotel restaurant (Probably about $300)
Couples massage (looked it up, with tax and tip about $500)

Total value is about $1500.

Question: In my current situation, do I present this to my wife? And if so, how do I do this?

Again, life is funny and looking forward to some interesting responses. And NO I am not interested in doing this by myself or in just sending my W for a couple of days off!!!



Wow what crazy timing that is. You'll probably get varying advice on this and I'm sure some people will tell you not to go with her, but I would present it to her. Tell her you won it at work and that you know it would be awkward given the current sitch but ask her if she's interested. Maybe mention you can be sure to get separate beds at the hotel. Try to do it with as little pressure as possible. Tell her if she doesn't want to that you completely understand. If she asks what you will do if she doesn't go then say you'll figure something else out and leave it at that.
