A woman shared her story on Reddit about a tough situation with her fiancé. She explained that he had been teasing her because she made more money than him and often expected her to pay for him and his friends at restaurants.
The trouble started when she got a 30% raise at work. “My fiancé (M37) and I have been engaged for five months. We don’t usually talk about money because he prefers it that way. But after I got a raise, he started using it as an excuse to make me pay for him and his buddies.
Whenever I refused or asked why, he’d reply, ‘Because of the 30% raise.’ He made it seem like I didn’t deserve the raise or that it was unfair.”
Before she left for the dinner, she decided she wouldn’t be paying this time. She said he had tricked her into paying for meals too many times. “He has asked me in public on multiple occasions to pay for his and his friends’ lunches, deceiving me into doing so. To be honest, I’m too polite to say ‘no.’
I simply smile and pay since I detest conflict, especially in public settings like restaurants. He invited me to supper with him and his friends last Tuesday. I informed him right away that I wouldn’t be covering their meal costs and that he shouldn’t count on it. ‘Got this,’ he said, adding ‘no worries.’”
But during dinner, her fiancé whispered again, asking her to pay. She was determined to say no. “We arrived at the eatery, ordered supper, and met his mates. He also leaned in to whisper to me in the middle of the meal that I would be covering the cost of whatever he and his pals ordered.
I was so angry that I responded with a mumbled ‘noooo,’ but I think he was counting on me to keep quiet in front of his friends and the public. ‘You have enough money, remember, to pay for everyone’s food,’ he remarked.”
She was furious and decided to pay her own bill and leave. “I was furious within. Rather than taking offense and losing my cool, after waiting for the bills to arrive (which had already been divided when we placed our initial order), I paid for mine and excused myself to use the washroom. After that, I snuck out of there, got into my car, and drove home.”
Her fiancé started calling and texting to find out where she was, and she told him the truth. “My fiancé began calling and texting me to find out where I was.
I replied to his text, expressing my displeasure at how he had put me in this predicament and had essentially conned me into paying for his and his buddies’ dinner. I stopped responding after telling him I was going home.”
An hour later, he came home and they had a big argument. “An hour later he came and started yelling at me, calling me selfish, irrational, cheapskate, and childish for sneaking out like that and leaving him stuck with a bill he could not pay (He had to call his brother for help).”
They had a heated dispute, and he left. His friends didn’t talk to her about it, but he told her they were disappointed in her actions and advised him to “reflect” on the kind of woman he wants to marry.

That is absurd. No way should he do that to her. It was ridiculous that he should expect that because she made more than him. I would not marry him. He is an ahole.
