Her Boyfriend Expected Her To Pay For His Entire Family’s Dinner, So She Got Up And Left
This twenty-nine-year-old woman has been dating her boyfriend, Ricky, for five months now.
But Ricky had already been through a divorce and apparently is always going on rants about his ex. More specifically, comparing his ex to her.
For example, he will say things like, “I hope you don’t have this awful habit as my ex did,” or, “I hope you like this because my ex didn’t.'”
And just recently, he used yet another one of his ex’s supposed “bad traits” to basically ruin their relationship.
It all began after she recently got a second job and told Ricky about it. And after he found out, he began making her pay every single time they went anywhere.
“When I protested, he would say he was going through a rough patch and is seeing how much help I can offer,” she recalled.
She did take issue with his supposed “rough patch,” but it had not yet turned into a massive problem until this week.
She and Ricky already had dinner plans, and he invited his family to join them. She had no problem with that and went along with it.
But, come dinner, they arrived at the restaurant first, sat down, and Ricky said something totally wild.

First, he asked if she “brought enough money” out with her. She was understandably confused and asked why. That’s when Ricky spilled the beans.
“He told me that he told his parents I would be paying for their meals. I said, ‘Why would I?’ and he went on about his parents going through a rough patch– just like him,” she explained. How convenient.
She called Ricky out about the “coincidence” and ultimately refused to pay. However, he did not take no for an answer.
Instead, he made a smug remark about how she was already at the restaurant and didn’t have “much of a choice” before laughing in her face as if any of this was funny.
She was utterly stunned but decided she needed to stand up for herself. So, she got up, grabbed her phone and purse, and walked right out of the restaurant. And all the while, Ricky sat there shouting at her to come back.
Then, after she got home, she received a furious phone call from Ricky. Apparently, he claimed she did a “horrible thing” by walking out on him and his parents instead of just paying.
Thankfully, she reiterated that their financial struggles were not her problem. Plus, she said that if he and his family were struggling so much, they just shouldn’t go out to eat.
After that, though, Ricky got super offended and even had the nerve to pull out the ex-card.
“He said, and I quote, ‘You’re making money a priority just like my ex did!'” she said. What a major red flag.
Anyway, Ricky just continued calling her attitude disrespectful and claiming she made him “look small” in front of his parents.
He also tried to make her feel guilty for “forcing him” to lie about her absence.
So now, she has essentially been stuck in a back-and-forth battle with her boyfriend. Ricky believes that he is owed an apology; meanwhile, she thinks that she should have never been expected to pay.
At the same time, though, she also does not want to tarnish her relationship with Ricky’s parents.
In turn, she’s not sure if she should just bite the bullet and apologize or stand her ground.
Do you think Ricky’s behavior is acceptable in a relationship? Should she even consider apologizing, or should this just be the end?
