A woman recently sought validation on Reddit’s “Am I The A*****e?” (AITA) forum after a frustrating experience with her boyfriend. After dating for nine months, a recurring issue escalated into a major red flag: her boyfriend consistently “forgot” his wallet when they dined out, leaving her to bear the entire bill.
The Situation
The couple, along with his two daughters, had a weekly tradition of dining out together. Initially, it seemed like a delightful way to strengthen their bond, but a troubling pattern emerged. Every time the bill arrived, the boyfriend would pat his pockets and act surprised, claiming he had left his wallet behind—either at home, in the car, or in a different pair of jeans. This left her to shoulder the financial burden of the meal.
After several instances of this behavior, she reached her breaking point. Before their latest outing, she kindly reminded him to bring his wallet. However, instead of appreciating the heads-up, he dismissed it with a dismissive laugh. As expected, he arrived empty-handed once again.
The Turning Point
At the restaurant, his daughters ordered the most expensive dishes on the menu, likely accustomed to their father’s partner picking up the tab. When it was time to pay, she confronted him directly, requesting his wallet. As usual, he feigned surprise and disappointment, muttering about leaving it in his other jeans.
This time, she refused to pay. With a firm grip on her bag, she stood up and declared that she would not cover the bill. The boyfriend and his daughters were forced to cancel their order and leave the restaurant hungry. Later, he accused her of being heartless and disregarding his children’s well-being.
