    Font - AITA for bringing my SIL's wallet to the restaurant when she conveniently always forgets it? My (f28) SIL "Amy" (f26) always comes to visit from out of town. She stays with us instead of a hotel, and always wants to go to expensive restaurants. She always conveniently forgets her wallet, or domes up with some excuses as to why she can't pay her share. She has implied that since I make much more money than her, I should be the one to pay (no, not my husband should pay, but me specifically)

    Font - She had made a reservation at an extremely expensive restaurant last night, and before we left, I made it clear that I wouldn't be paying her bill. This is where I might be the asshole, and I'll admit I got this move straight from and episode of Two and a Half men. As we were leaving, her and my husband went to the car. I pretended I forgot something and went back inside. I found her wallet sitting right on top of her suitcase. I put it in my purse and we went to the restaurant. When we w

    Font - Bitter-Conflict-4089 2 hr. ago She made the reservation and invited you. Etiquette says she would be responsible for 100% of that bill. ΝΤΑ 1.7k Reply Share high_on_acrylic - 2 hr. ago . This! It's the same principal with dates, the person who asks chooses the restaurant (ideally with the other person in mind) and then pays the bill. ΝΤΑ 247 Reply Share ●●●

    Font - TemptingPenguin369 2 hr. ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [34] NTA. Awesome power move. But when is your husband gonna step up and make her pay her share? 1.1k Reply Share Slow-Pianist-4431 OP · 2 hr. ago Partassipant [1] They've bullied and manipulated him like this his whole life. He's gotten so used to it that he doesn't see the bigger issue. Old habits die hard. Trying to help him stand up for himself, but it's an uphill battle. 760 Reply Share

    Font - SamGamgE 2 hr. ago Asshole Enthusiast [8] Nta - why do you and your husband still allow her to stay with you or choose expe sive restaurants or even go out with her? I think you need to talk to your husband about this behaviour. I am very curious as to why he hasn't stepped in and shut this down and wonder if he is the one encouraging her to do this behind your back. 519 Reply Share

    Font - Slow-Pianist-4431 OP 2 hr. ago Partassipant [1] Because he's the only male in his family, and frankly they've (his sisters, mother) have always taken advantage of him like this in the past. Now they've found a new target, me. They've got it in their minds that their poor family has married into a rich family or something like that. I'm by no means rich, but they didn't have it easy growing up. I don't personally think this is an excuse for being a mooch. She works, she has her own money n

    Font - DNRmyDNA 2 hr. ago NTA. That was a boss move. But if you want to keep it up without getting accused of touching her things, when you're in the car, don't let your husband start driving until she shows you she has her wallet on her. You told her right up front "I'm not paying this time." and she tried to push you into it. Honestly, I don't know why you keep going out with her. Cancel. Or insist your husband pays. Like, what does he say about all of this? Because he needs to have a chat wit
