DP nad I don't live together- he lives with 4 other young professionals in a house.
They planned a housewarming party and had it on Friday night. Woman who lives with DP bouht lots of alcohol - but the invite was 'bring a bottle'. Party began at 7pm, by 9pm when I came people were piling into taxis to go out. Nobody invited my DP or me. DP had to stay to 'mind' the house because a few people at party really hadn't planned to go out. DP was not asked whether he minded staying. Of course he didn't mind and would not have minded if he had been asked, but I could tell he was upset all his friends left without him and not asked if he minded looking after house.
Anyway, the few stragglers left at about midnight so DP and I left to mine. At 6am received a text from woman he lives with 'where are my wine bottles?'. Luckily didn't wake DP up and I didn't respond, had no idea where wine was.
Next day she sends a text 'you owe me money for alcohol' So he rings and asks what money, she said she had bottles of alcohol and it all got drank at party so my DP has to pay for it/ buy her new alcohol.
Not sure why my DP needs to foot the bill really but she is now being very difficult. He and I are struggling for money at the moment, he really can't afford to pay her. He feels he should for an easy life but my point is- if you but lots of alcohol on a table at a party people will drink it. If you don't want to share you don't put it all out. Why should my DP pay when he was left to look after the house while they all went out and had a good time, and he didn't even drink it!! What's more she was so impolite in the messages!
AIBU?
Hope that all made sense!
