His Girlfriend Paid For Everyone’s Meals At A Restaurant Except His, So He Feels Hurt
Many people believe in this sort of unspoken dating rule, which is that if someone invites you to dinner or drinks, it’s on them to pay the bill.
If they chose a specific restaurant or bar without your input, then the ball is in their court regarding the check.
One man is feeling hurt after his girlfriend took him, her best friend, and her family out to dinner and paid for everyone’s meal except his.
He and his girlfriend are in their mid-20s, and recently, she texted him that she wanted to go to a medieval-themed restaurant with him, her best friend, mom, aunt, and uncle.
He happily agreed, and the way she sent her text made it sound like she wanted to take everyone out. Therefore, she’d pay the bill.
While the restaurant, which served burgers and steaks, wasn’t extremely expensive, it was a bit pricier than most casual joints.
For instance, a burger cost around $20. When he and his girlfriend’s crew arrived at the restaurant, everyone ordered their food, ate, and had a great time together.
Then, when the bill came, he was surprised when he heard his girlfriend ask the waitress for one separate check for him, while all the other meals stayed on one bill.
His girlfriend whispered in his ear that she was sorry, but he knew she and her mom didn’t have much money.

At first, his girlfriend wanted a separate check for her friend, too, but her friend reminded her of something she hadn’t paid her back for, so his girlfriend paid for her meal as well. The final bill was around $325, and he had to pay about $32 for his share.
“It’s been bugging me, and I tried to find the [text] where my girlfriend invited me but couldn’t,” he said.
“I wanted to make sure that I didn’t misread it. I remembered that she said she had invited all the others and would be happy to have me there as well and that it would be on her.”
While he’s not upset to have lost the money, he feels hurt, as for most of their relationship, he would pick up the bill for his girlfriend’s sake.
When they first got together, she was still a student and didn’t get a job until four months ago, so he’d help her out.
Now, he’s surprised she won’t even spend an extra $32 for a meal she invited him to.
“I’m planning on at least talking about it, but I’m not sure if I’m making it bigger than it is or not,” he added.
Should he talk to his girlfriend about his feelings or let it go?
