People can be super weird about money. When we go out with friends, it's pretty standard to split the bill down the middle, call it a lovely night, and move on with our lives. Some groups of friends split it depending on what dishes everyone got, and it demands more concentration, it's also an acceptable way to split the bill. Then there are rogue people out there that make up the rules as they go, and that rarely works out for them, unless if they're trying to take advantage of other people when it comes to paying the bill. In today's 'Am I the A$$hole?' post, OP told us about her shady sister-in-law always conveniently forgets her wallet every time she goes out with her and her husband so that they end up covering the bill. OP got fed up and brought her SIL's wallet for her so she couldn't get away with skipping the bill. OP's SIL was fuming over OP touching her wallet. Scroll down to see what went down.

    Font - 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). I do make a fair amount of money, but not so much that I can treat someone every time they

    It's so strange that she insists that OP pay rather than her own brother.

    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.

    Font - 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.

    Human body - When we were done eating, I asked for separate bills. She said no, we need one bill, because she "forgot" her wallet again. I reached in my purse and said, "this wallet?"

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.

    Font - DNRmyDNA 5 days ago edited 4 days ago 3224 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
