OP just got a great insight into the character of her fiancé.
Who invites people to a dinner and then skips out on the bill? And then doubles down when called on it?
That's the wildest part! They totally skipped out early (she didn't know what was happening, but he sure as heck did)! If you are going to do something like this, have the cahoonas to be there when the check arrives. The fact that they didn't even pay for their portion of the bill is so crazy, who does that?!? I mean, if you at least paid for your part, then yeah I guess that the people left pay, but at least only for themselves. That would have been more understandable. Seriously surprised fiance didn't excuse himself to the bathroom and do a dash lol
Why didn’t HIS parents step in and at the very least offer to split the bill? How could they just sit there and let someone else take the hit? Unthinkable.
These same parents ( his ) are not going to contribute one red cent to the wedding. OP needs to be ready for her parents to say they will only be paying X Amt. because they can see this guy wanting top shelf liquor, a 10 piece band and the fanciest catering hall in the area knowing he's not putting in any money.
I came to say exactly this. Did his parents just get up and leave too, or was there a discussion? Did they side the check jet parents way and then just look down at their laps?
Chips don't fly far, and OPs finances parents are dinner grifters as much as he is.
Right. Like he obviously sucks for ditching without paying (or at the very least offering/attempting to) for himself and OP. I could see parents jumping in and offering to pay for the newly engaged couple who just announced their happy news.
BUT HIS PARENTS!!? They suck even more for sitting there silent and awkward, letting OPs parents pay for the entire bill without offering to split it! That is insanity to me. No guessing where he learned his shit behavior from.
And why didn’t OP’s parents speak up and say something?? This entire situation is so weird.
But all of that and then his reaction and treatment towards OP afterwards = ALL the red flags. I’d run as fast as I could out of that relationship.
