A woman had been dating her boyfriend for several months when she noticed a troubling pattern every time they went out to eat. Eventually, she grew frustrated and decided to take action.
The 32-year-old woman had been in a relationship with her 39-year-old boyfriend, who had two young children, for nine months. Their relationship hit a rocky patch when they had a major argument over something he had been repeatedly doing.
Seeking advice, the woman turned to Reddit to ask if she had overreacted in the situation. Netizens were quick to share their thoughts, many siding with her.
The issue arose because her boyfriend would frequently “forget” his wallet whenever they went out to eat. Since his children loved dining out, they made it a weekly ritual. But each time, without fail, he would realize he didn’t have his card, leaving the woman to cover the entire bill.
At first, the woman didn’t mind paying, but after a while, it became a financial burden, especially as it had happened multiple times within a single month, leaving her struggling to keep up.
One evening, after receiving payment from her second part-time job, the couple planned to take the kids out for dinner again. Anticipating another “forgotten wallet” scenario, she sent him a text reminder. He laughed it off.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the children ordered expensive dishes they hadn’t tried before. Before they started their meal, the woman asked her boyfriend about his wallet, just to be sure. He had a shocked look on his face and, after searching his pockets, claimed he had left it in the jeans he almost wore that night.
