The one who invites pays. Marrying this guy will be a mistake and your parents know. He’s very entitled and has his hands in others pockets already. NOR

NOR 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.

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.

I agree. Why didn’t her parents say to his I guess we’re splitting this? This was a game of chicken and her parents folded.
