A 32-year-old woman found herself in a frustrating situation with her 39-year-old boyfriend. They had been dating for nine months, and she had started to notice a pattern whenever they went out to eat with his two young children. Every time, he would “forget” his wallet at home, leaving her to foot the bill.
At first, she didn’t mind paying, but as it kept happening, she started to feel taken advantage of. She felt broke from paying for dinner every week, and her patience was wearing thin. One night, she had just received her paycheck from her second part-time job and was looking forward to a nice dinner with her boyfriend and his kids.
However, when they arrived at the restaurant, she realized that he had “forgotten” his wallet again. She asked him if he had it, and he looked shocked and checked his pockets. When he finally admitted that he had left it at home, she had had enough. She grabbed her things and was ready to leave the restaurant without eating.
Her boyfriend was taken aback by her reaction and asked her what she was doing. She told him that she wasn’t going to pay for him and his kids again and walked out. Later, he called her and accused her of being selfish for leaving them in that situation. He claimed that he had forgotten his wallet and that she had no sympathy for him or his kids.
The woman was frustrated by his reaction and felt that he was taking advantage of her. She shared her story on Reddit, asking if she was wrong to walk out on her boyfriend and his kids. Many users agreed that her boyfriend was taking advantage of her and that she was right to stand up for herself.
The situation raises questions about the dynamics of their relationship and whether her boyfriend’s “memory loss” was just a convenient excuse to get out of paying. Was the woman right to walk out, or should she have paid for them and talked about it later?
