A woman’s patience was put to the test when her boyfriend repeatedly “forgot” his wallet every time they went out to dinner. This pattern of behavior had been going on for months, and the woman had grown tired of footing the bill. She took to Reddit to share her story and seek advice from others.
The woman, who had been dating her 39-year-old boyfriend for nine months, explained that they would often take his two small children out to dinner. However, every time they did, her boyfriend would conveniently “forget” his wallet, leaving her to pay the bill.
At first, the woman hadn’t minded paying, but as the months went by, she began to feel taken advantage of. She had even taken on a second part-time job to make ends meet, and the constant expense of paying for her boyfriend and his children was starting to take a toll.
One evening, the woman had had enough. She reminded her boyfriend to bring his wallet, but he laughed it off. When they arrived at the restaurant, his children ordered expensive meals, and the woman asked her boyfriend if he had brought his wallet. He claimed to have forgotten it, and the woman reached her breaking point.
She gathered her belongings and prepared to leave the restaurant, refusing to pay for her boyfriend and his children once again. Her boyfriend called her selfish and accused her of not caring about his children, but the woman stood firm.
The majority of Reddit users sided with the woman, agreeing that her boyfriend was taking advantage of her. They advised her to have a serious talk with her boyfriend about his behavior and to reevaluate the relationship.
