Would you be happy with this? Birthday present

[Tiredandflabby1]

Say your live-in partner plans a surprise for your birthday, which is also your gift.
This turns out to be a meal at a lovely restaurant which you rarely eat at as it's quite expensive.
We enjoy the meal, we only ordered a starter to share, a main each and a diet coke each, no dessert.

When the bill came, he asked me if I could pay £10 towards it as it was a little expensive.
I did, but he was the one who planned it and also said it was my present. Not sure what to think?

Agree with PP, very mean. Hope you find someone better soon.

I bet the op has a lot of other stories. This sounds like a man who would count the crisps in a bag, halve them then ask the op to pay 20p more than half as some of hers were bigger.

A meal at a "nice restaurant" for £47, I want to move where u live. It would cost more than that at my local pub. I was expecting the bill to be at least £150. He needs to take stock of his life if he's a grown man who can't afford £47 for a birthday treat.
