His Girlfriend Asked Him To Pay For An Expensive Dinner At A Restaurant, Then Dumped Him
Out of the blue, this guy’s girlfriend mentioned to him that she wanted to go on a break. He felt blindsided since he figured their relationship was excellent, and they had just been discussing going on vacation before she brought up a break.
He was crushed when his girlfriend pointed out that she wasn’t convinced they were really a good match.
While he asked her to elaborate, she just kept pushing for a break. He thought she was going to dump him, but a week later, his girlfriend asked if they could go to dinner.
He asked her where she wanted to go, and she picked a fancy and expensive Thai restaurant. He drove to her place to get her, and he was thrilled to see her after having a little break.
Their dinner date went wonderfully. They laughed a lot as they caught up, and he had an excellent time with her.
Then, his girlfriend said when dinner was done, she wanted to head back to her place so they could discuss things.
When it came time to pay, and their waitress asked if they were splitting the bill, his girlfriend didn’t say a word and only stared at him.
They used to trade off paying for dates, and in the past, he has wound up paying more often than she has.
“It was something I meant to bring up with her because she makes considerably more than me,” he explained.

“But at that moment, I was just happy to be with my girlfriend again, and the look on her face was telling me to pay, so I obliged and paid for the both of us.”
With dinner finished, they drove back to his girlfriend’s place to sit down and have a conversation.
It was then that his girlfriend simply told him she wants to break up. She refused to give him details or a reason why, so he ended up leaving.
He expected more from her, as they dated for three months prior to their one week break, and he feels super upset.
“What I’m infuriated about is how she manipulated me into paying for an expensive date when she knew she was going to break up with me,” he said.
“She knows she makes more than me which is what makes it even worse. I feel like I was completely taken advantage of to get my hopes up and encourage me to pay just for her to break up with me.”
“This experience alone has made me never want to cover for a date again. I know it’s sort of expected that the guy covers for the first date or two, so this will probably bite me later, but I don’t want to be used like that again. I feel like a fool, and I’m disappointed that someone I care about can be so cruel.”
