At His Girlfriend’s Birthday Dinner, He Found Out That She Had Been Keeping A Huge Secret From Him, So He Walked Out And Left Her With The Enormous Bill
Can you imagine if your partner offered to take you to an expensive restaurant for your birthday, only for them to leave you alone to pay the bill at the end of the night?
One guy recently did this to his girlfriend when he found out that she had been keeping a huge secret from him at her birthday dinner. Whether or not his reasoning was justified is up to opinion!
He’s 35 and met his 34-year-old girlfriend online. They’ve been dating for around four to five months now. Their relationship has been going well so far.
Of course, as with any relationship, there are still some issues they’re working out. For instance, something peculiar about their relationship dynamic is that she will plan things for them to do while he pays for everything.
“I spend most of my time working, so her planning for stuff is actually a huge bonus to me,” he explained.
“I make a lot more money than she does, so her paying doesn’t really make sense. But still, she kept feeling guilty and saying she’s definitely going to pay for one of these dates eventually.”
However, she hasn’t paid for any notable dates yet. She keeps saying she’s “so broke,” although she works a decent job. But he doesn’t mind it too much, so this is how they’ve been operating throughout their relationship.
Recently, he asked her if she wanted anything for her birthday, and she told him she wanted to eat at a really nice restaurant.
So that was his gift to her, dinner at a place she wanted to go to for a while. He made their reservations, and they sat down to enjoy a nice dinner for her birthday.

Suddenly, one of her friends approached their table to say hello.
“During that conversation, the friend asks about her daughter,” he said. “At first, I thought it was some kind of an inside joke or something but nope. They really were talking about her daughter [who] I had no idea existed ’til now.”
That was certainly unexpected! When her friend left the table, he was in shock and asked his girlfriend about her daughter. She nonchalantly told him yes, that she was 12-years-old, and gave him her name.
When he started to freak out a bit and asked her why she never told him, she said, “I don’t owe you every single detail of my life.”
“This isn’t how she normally speaks,” he added. “The whole thing seemed so bizarre. I couldn’t wrap my head around it at all. She has major guilt about who pays for dates, but she hid having a kid like it’s nothing?”
She excused herself to go to the bathroom while he sat there, shocked. The longer he sat, the angrier he became. Finally, to avoid making a scene, he got up and left. However, he left her with a $500-600 bill to pay. As angry text messages flooded in from her that night, he didn’t feel guilty at all. But the next day, he received a long message explaining her side of the story. So now, he’s experiencing some guilt.
Do you think he should help her pay the expensive dinner bill, or was he justified in walking off and paying nothing?
