My Husband Insisted I Pay For Him and His Entire Family at a Restaurant Although It Was His Celebration

A woman’s husband celebrated his career milestone with his family by dining at a restaurant. When they finished their meal, the man’s wife refused to pay for the check when he asked her to, causing the celebration to go awry.
Marriage involves sharing responsibilities as husband and wife. Of all the shared responsibilities, finances is always the most sensitive topic. For one couple, their different financial perspectives caused a sudden rift in their relationship.

The woman took to Reddit to seek opinions from others on whether she was wrong for what she did. A celebratory evening took an unexpected turn when the man asked his wife to pay for dinner with his family. While it was his milestone dinner, the woman felt it inappropriate for him to assume she’d volunteer to pay for it.
They Had Always Kept Their Finances Separate

They agreed to keep their finances separate for the past three years of the couple’s marriage. The arrangement worked for them initially, but it became an issue during the husband’s celebration.

The woman’s husband received a bonus at work and was delighted. He told his entire family and invited them to celebrate his success with him at a restaurant.

The man planned it all — he chose the restaurant, the food and drink orders, and everything in between. It was a fun evening as they celebrated the man’s professional achievement. However, when the bill arrived, the woman was stunned.

She expected her husband to cover the expenses since they were celebrating his receiving a bonus. Her husband handed her the bill and said, “Take care of it.” He assumed she’d be willing to contribute to the celebration as some congratulatory gift to him.
The Man Claimed His Wife Was Bitter

They got into an argument at the restaurant, and her husband went on to call her “visibly bitter.” Even at her husband’s insistence, the woman refused to pay as she thought it was ridiculous for him to expect her to pay for his entire family’s meals when it was his celebration.
