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

A woman shared her dilemma on Reddit, asking if she was wrong for refusing to pay for her

boyfriend and his kids’ meal after he “forgot” his wallet again.

She explained they had been dating for nine months and often dined out with his two daughters.

Every time,her boyfriend conveniently forgot his wallet,

leaving her to cover the bill.Before their latest outing, she texted him to remind him to bring his wallet,

but he dismissed it. At the restaurant, after the kids ordered expensive items,

she asked if he had his wallet. He feigned surprise, claiming he left it in another pair of jeans

and asked her to pay “just this time.”Fed up, she refused, grabbed her bag, and left. Later,

he accused her of being unsympathetic and letting his kids go hungry.

Reddit users overwhelmingly supported her, calling the boyfriend manipulative

and praising her for standing up for herself.
