A woman who had been dating her 39-year-old boyfriend with two young children for nine months grew frustrated with a recurring issue during their dining out. Despite initially being fine with covering their meals, she noticed her boyfriend would repeatedly “forget” his wallet, leaving her to pay. This pattern became problematic, especially after a month of frequent dinners.
One evening, after being reminded to bring his wallet, her boyfriend still “forgot” it. When asked at the restaurant, he claimed it was in another pair of jeans and asked her to pay. Fed up, she decided to leave without eating and told him she wouldn’t cover the bill anymore.
Her boyfriend was outraged, accusing her of being selfish and causing his children to go hungry. He insisted it was an honest mistake and scolded her for not being sympathetic.
After posting on Reddit, most users felt her boyfriend was taking advantage of her and advised her to reconsider the relationship. The woman’s dilemma was whether she was right to leave or if she should have addressed the issue in another way.
