My boyfriend always ‘forgets’ his credit card when we eat out, so I have to foot the bill

I am sure it has happened to most of us to forget out wallet and a credit card while out with family, friends, or our partner, but if that “forgetting” keeps repeating over and over again something isn’t right.

A woman took to Reddit to ask fellow netizens if she was in the wrong for refusing to pay for her boyfriend and his children’s meal for God knows which time after he forgot his credit card yet again.

Sharing her story, she explained that she and her boyfriend had been dating for nine months. He had two daughters from a previous relationship who loved dining out.

The four have been eating out once a week, and her boyfriend always forgets his wallet, which leaves her paying the bill for everyone every single time.

The last time they decided to go out, she texted him to remind him to bring his wallet, but he laughed it off.
Once at the restaurant, the children started ordering the priciest items on the menu. Before they started eating, the woman asked her boyfriend if he had his wallet with him. He looked at her kind of shocked and started searching his pockets after which he said, “Guess I forgot it in the other pair of jeans that I thought I was going to wear” then asked her to foot the bill “just this time.”

At that moment, she felt like she had it enough, grabbed her bag, and got up.

When he asked her where she was going, she said she wasn’t paying “this time AGAIN” and to enjoy his dinner with the kids.

Later, he called her and accused her of having no sympathy for his kids. Apparently, he was forced to cancel everything and take his kids home hungry.

“We got into an argument and he’s been mad at me about it since then saying things like how he needs to take a look at how I’m treating the kids specifically and how I was willing to let them go hungry with my selfishness,” the woman concluded her post, asking if her action was wrong.

Redditors agreed that she wasn’t in the wrong because it was obvious he “forgot” hos wallet on purpose and was using her.

“NTA. Sweetie you need to dump the loser. He will bleed your dry for the rest of your life and belittle you,” a commenter wrote. “NTA. This guy is a manipulative AH. Red flags left and right. ETA: you’re my hero for walking out. Had you stayed he would have gaslighted you into paying. This is a situation he created,” another added.
