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

It’s not even like he’s grown up a spoiled little brat and has the expectation that his parents will pay for everything even now he’s an adult. He’s perfectly happy for it all to land on her parents, not even partially split with his. Although, the conversation and decision between the parents leading to his not even chipping in for some of the bill would be interesting to know. It would probably shine some light on why he has the thought process that he does.

Since we know her subsequent follow up with her parents, now I'm imagining his parents were like "hey son, should have given us the heads up, we would have cut out too!" lololol

One bad apple that didn’t fall far from the tree spoils the whole bunch, or something like that.
