A woman faced a financial dilemma when her fiancé pressured her to cover his and his friends’ expenses, citing her recent salary raise. Despite separate finances, he insisted on her paying during outings, exploiting her 30% higher income. In a breaking point, during a dinner with friends, her fiancé publicly declared she’d foot the bill due to her raise. Enraged, she paid only for her order, excused herself to the restroom, and daringly left without settling the entire bill. Back home, her fiancé, unable to afford the cost, berated her, accusing her of childish behavior.

Seeking opinions on Reddit, she found support, with users condemning her fiancé’s manipulative actions. They deemed her response justified, cautioning against marrying someone treating her unfairly. The incident highlighted the complexities of financial dynamics in relationships, prompting reflection on the suitability of her chosen partner. Redditors encouraged her to reconsider the relationship, recognizing the manipulation she endured.
