My Husband Invited Me to a Restaurant Then Demanded I Pay for Both of Us at the End of Our Meal –
A woman turned to Reddit after a disagreement with her husband about finances. They had agreed on separate finances, but when they went out to dinner, the husband expected her to cover his meal. He had ordered more food and desserts, and when it came time to pay, he was shocked when she insisted on splitting the bill. She reminded him of their arrangement to equally share joint expenses, including meals.
Her husband argued that he didn’t have enough money, but she stuck to her stance and paid only for her own meal. Later, he came home upset, accusing her of being mean and even asked her to apologize. The wife suggested therapy, but her husband responded by asking who would pay for it, continuing to blame her for his situation.
Reddit users sided with the wife, pointing out that her husband’s behavior showed concerning signs early in their marriage, especially with his poor money management. Many advised seeking professional help to address the deeper issues before they escalated further.
