A woman’s fiancé always lied to her about how much money she had. He finally told her she had to pay for their meals when they went out with his friends. The woman talked about the tough position she was in on Reddit. What she did made her want to know if other people thought she was wrong. The woman said that she and her fiancé kept their money separate while they were dating. Her fiancé didn’t want a joint account, so they never had one.
The woman got a raise around five months into the engagement. Their math showed that she made 30% more than her husband. The woman saw that her fiancé kept asking her to pay for him and his friends after she got a raise. He would ask her, “Why should I pay for this?” “Because of the 30%,” he’d say.The woman thought her fiancé was telling her she didn’t deserve the raise because of how he treated her. He seemed to be using the pay raise against her, which was not fair.
Her fiancé liked going out to eat with his friends. They asked the woman to join them more than once, and by asking her in public, he got her to pay for the whole meal.The woman was always too nice to say no, that much was true. She didn’t like getting into fights, so she’d just smile and pay the bill. She finally had enough one day. He asked her again if she could go to dinner with him and his friends.
Even though she said yes, she made it clear to him before they even left the house that she wouldn’t be paying the bill. He told her that wasn’t true and that it was his fault. Aside from him telling her in the middle of the meal that she would have to pay for everything, everything was going well. She was so mad that she whispered back a strong “no.” The man knew his fiancée hated making a scene in public like clockwork. Because of the 30%, he told everyone again in public that the woman had enough money to pay for everyone’s food.
The woman was very angry. She didn’t do anything until the tabs were on the table. The restaurant split the bill between the woman and the rest of the group right away. She paid for her food and then left to go to the bathroom. Then she did something brave: she left the restaurant without being seen and drove herself home. Right after that, her fiancé called her and asked where she was.
She let him know that she didn’t like how he was put on the spot again and made to pay for other people’s food. After a few hours, her boyfriend made a scene at home.He yelled at her and called her different names. He said it was stupid of her to take off and leave him with a bill he couldn’t pay. The guy who was engaged to the woman said she was “selfish, irrational, cheapskate, and childish.” What did he say?
His friends were upset and told him to think about the kind of woman he would marry.The woman thought she hadn’t done anything wrong in the end. But because of how her fiancé responded, she felt she had to look for help online. On the internet, people made sure to wake up the woman. With the man she decided to marry, they thought she was putting herself in a bad spot.Redditors made it clear that the woman’s fiancé was taking advantage of her. They hoped she would be smart enough to break up with him and stop being hurt further.
