There are plenty of conflicts that can cause a rift in adult friendships, but perhaps the most common one is money. Obviously, there are other worthy candidates such as difficulty with communication, differences in ideologies, and disagreements about significant others. However, how people deal with money can bring about cringeworthy interactions, upsetting revelations, and disturbing differences in opinion.
For instance, here we have an adult male and his wife who were invited to their friend's 40th birthday party. They knew that the dinner would be lavish and expensive. They also knew based on previous occasions that these far more wealthy friends were not the kind of people to foot the entire bill. However, it was a total surprise to them when they received a request following the event for $1100 ($540 per person). Hopefully, they ask for an itemized bill so they can ensure that they only pay for what they consumed that night. However, more importantly, a deeper conversation needs to be had about transparency and equitability if this Redditor plans to continue the friendship. It seems like it may not be worth it (literally).
