Please can you help me decide? I've posted this on relationships but I'm putting it here for traffic! I've actually drafted the final WhatsApp saying how upset I was but given he's been a little star up until now I would welcome a few more opinions.......

I've been seeing someone for a few weeks. All has been great until Friday night when I felt properly sussed out financially. So for example, I was asked if a diamond ring I wear was real. Then, in the past when we've eaten out we've always bought drinks in rounds and taken turns on main courses of around 16 or 17 pounds. Last night I said it was my round, and suggested a different pub which was a bit more expensive just for a change but I was only expecting to have a main course (mine was £23, his £30.). He then proceeds to order 3 courses and extra drinks, the last of which he took 3 mouthfuls of the pint and said he didn't want it and didn't know why he'd ordered it so left it. Obviously I then picked up a bill of over £100 that I hadn't budgeted for. He knows its my son's birthday and my cars MOT and I'm paying for an overnight stay later in the month for us both, and although this is him coming along to help me with something I am funding the whole thing for both of us.

Am I just being tight here and if I invite him out I should be prepared for every eventuality 😆 or was that a bit cheeky?

This thread is insane! Grin

I’m from the arse end of the planet and even down here we would say, “I’ll be living on toast for the next month” to say things are a bit tight. Not to say we would, actually, be living on toast.

Those of you being SO literally picking the OP up on this, come across as ridiculous. Absolutely sheltered from any sort of normal human, social interaction.

OP - YANBU. Men are a commodity that is not in short supply! I’d be seriously be considering tossing this one back into the ocean, and upgrading.

This is as much based on his reaction to you raising it, as to his original Cheeky Fuckery.

YANBU. Have one more meal with him at his expense, order 3 courses and lots of drinks. Don’t finish one drink.

His reaction will tell you all you need to know.

Then dump him.

I like this plan. Please do this and tell us how it was!

Hi it is clear that you are having doubts about the relationship if your are posting on here about it. A proper man would make you feel like a million dollars and would treat you with more respect ,

I'm hoping this OP dumped the cheeky fucker freeloading prick months ago.

Thought of you the other day @TheSnootiestFox hope you’re ok - how did it all end up going?

Wow he's a CF or he's that loaded he doesn't even realise he's taken the piss (which is still not great) Either way, you should be able to just say to him, that the meal has left you skint.
