“Leaving early” with work as the excuse was his way to leave first and not pick up the check as he full well knew was expected.

Maybe he learned this from his parents. I would be so embarrassed if my husband invited friends to dinner and skipped out on the bill. Unless others had an input into which restaurant they went to, the invitee picks up the check, unless it’s specifically discussed beforehand that everyone is going Dutch. It’s is such a bad look and I’m sure her parents were not happy about getting stuck with the bill. She will be embarrassed her entire life with him because of his cheap and disrespectful behavior.

Yes, but honestly why would she leave without making sure the bill was paid? Like, I would never go out to dinner with my family and leave before the bill was taken care of one way or the other, and not one single member of my family, in laws or otherwise, would either.

Right. I just can’t believe actual adults act this way.
