Her boyfriend was shocked and demanded to know what she was doing. She told him that she wasn’t willing to pay for him and his kids again and walked out.
Later, her boyfriend called her, furious. He accused her of being selfish for leaving him and his kids in that situation, claiming that they had to cancel their order and go home hungry because she refused to pay. He also scolded her for not caring about his children and even hinted that he might need to rethink their relationship based on how she treated them.
When she shared her story on Reddit, the response was overwhelmingly supportive. Commenters pointed out that the boyfriend’s actions seemed manipulative and that his constant “forgetfulness” was likely not accidental. Many praised her for standing up for herself, saying it was about time she put an end to the situation.
What’s your take? Was she justified in walking out, or should she have stayed and paid for the meal, then addressed the issue later? How would you have handled a similar situation?
