Her Boyfriend Lied About Forgetting His Wallet To Make Her Pay For Dinner, So She Dumped Him
On Mother’s Day, this 29-year-old woman’s 35-year-old boyfriend took her out for breakfast to celebrate.
When they were done eating, it dawned on her boyfriend that he had forgotten his wallet at home and couldn’t pay.
She said it wasn’t a big deal, and she paid for their breakfast. She truly wasn’t that upset, as she knows sometimes things like this just happen.
After breakfast, her boyfriend said they should watch a movie together, but instead, he passed out and took a nap in his car, so she told him he should catch up on rest instead.
Her boyfriend worked a 13-hour shift the night before, so she knew he had to be exhausted. While he napped, she cleaned her house and watched a couple of videos on her phone.
“Later, at 7 pm, I asked if we could go eat at my favorite spot, and he said sure,” she explained. “He looked for his wallet, which was in his shorts, and got ready.”
“We ordered the usual and when it was time to pay, he said he forgot his wallet. I was silent but surprised because I saw him grab his wallet while getting ready, but ok.”
“I paid, and we walked back to the car. During our ride home, he was gloating about how it’s been a great Mother’s Day for him. A free breakfast, a good long nap, and a free meal.”
He even joked about how his cousins were going to find it funny that he made her pay for everything for Mother’s Day.

That is when she got super upset, as she felt like she was just some kind of a joke to him. The following morning, she was still angry, and he asked her what was wrong before mentioning he put money in her purse to pay her back.
She went to her purse, pulled out the money, and pointed out to her boyfriend that she wasn’t mad over the money at all.
She told him what upset her the most was how he made fun of her. He should have apologized for making her pay, yet laughed at her. Then her boyfriend got angry at her for being mad at him in the first place.
They’ve been dating for two and a half years, and this is hardly the first time her boyfriend has been cheap.
For Christmas, he told her he wanted a $500 gift and then $600 in smaller presents, and she was happy to buy that for him.
She gave him her wish list, which was the same amount of money she spent on him. When Christmas arrived, her boyfriend didn’t buy her a single thing. She found it in her heart to forgive him and move on, but then her birthday arrived, and he skipped out on her party.
He also never got her a birthday present, but for his birthday, she got him a gift, balloons, and a cake. Her boyfriend has never been thoughtful or kind, and he always makes her take turns with him paying for their dinners out.
Finally, she decided to dump him. When she did, he asked her if she was breaking up with him over having to pay for everything on Mother’s Day. She clarified that it wasn’t the reason why.
“So it’s not about the money,” she said. “I told him that I’m just tired of him always taking advantage of me and then joking about it. I blocked him. And I know I’ll be fine without him.”
