A 37-year-old Redditor had shared in Reddit’s “AITA” subreddit. The woman had shared that along with her 40-year-old husband, they name themselves as “amateur foodies.” OP stated that financially they are in a good place, so they can afford eating in various restaurants to try different things.
OP also explained that sometimes they took their in-laws with them, and pay for their meals. But as they were nice towards them, the in-laws started to get a weird impression from their kind acts.
One day, the in-laws had invited the couple to a restaurant near their house. As OP didn’t thought weirdly about the instance, she thought that the in-laws wanted to join their hobby.
As the dinner was over, and it was time to pay the bill, the in-laws had pushed the bill towards their son, without even looking at it. As they were uncomfortable about the issue, OP’s husband had paid for the dinner. Since the meal was not much expensive, she decided not to talk about it.
Then, the in-laws had invited them again for dinner, this time to a fancy restaurant. The place was expensive. OP and her husband had dinner once in there, so they had some idea about the place.
And again, the in-laws expected for their son and daughter-in-law to pay the bill again. As she couldn’t stop thinking about it she talked with her husband about the issue.
After a while later, OP received an achievement from her work, and her husband called his parents about it. Then her mother-in-law offered to celebrate it with a fancy dinner. OP asked then, “Who’s paying?”
OP explained what happened as, “He ended the call quickly and called me rude. I told him I didn’t think we should have to pay every time his parents wanted to go to dinner and that they were using my award (which really wasn’t a big deal at all) to get a fancy night out.”
Her husband said that they could afford to pay for the dinners they had, as he said that in-law’s of the OP couldn’t. Then, the in-laws wanted an apology from the OP, and her husband offered a dinner at the restaurant, to keep the peace.
OP stated that they should eat at the restaurant, for the anniversary of the in-laws. But they wanted eat the dinner already, and stated that it was rude to split the bill.
Many of the Redditors had supported the OP as they stated that she was right to be uncomfortable. The OP stated that her husband had apologized from her, and realized that his parents were wrong in their actions.
