It's definitely a conversation to have with her husband, and if something like this happens again after that conversation, it might be time to rethink this partnership.

“I'm not truly part of the family”: 33-year-old husband fails to speak up when his mother excludes his wife while paying for dinner, forcing her to be the only one to pay for her own meal
What's your protocol for payment when dining out with family? Your answer might change depending on what family members you're dining with as well as the culture that you grew up in. For example, when eating out with my Latin American family, my uncles will usually fight over who gets to pay the bill. They even employ sneaky tactics to get the receipt from the waitress first. However, when eating out with North Americans, I find that each smaller family unit at a big family gathering will pay for their portion of the meal.
In our story today, a family matriarch takes her family out for dinner. When the bill arrives, she pays for everyone – everyone except for our protagonist, her daughter-in-law. The worst part is that the young woman's husband refuses to stand up to his mother, instead letting his wife pay for her own meal while everyone else eats for free.
