A woman had been dating her boyfriend for a while when she noticed something unusual every time they went out to eat. She eventually became fed up with it and decided to take action.

A 32-year-old lady has been dating her 39-year-old partner, who had two small children, for nine months. They had a huge disagreement because he continued doing things that bothered her.

She questioned Reddit users if she was overreacting. People on Reddit expressed their opinions about her partner.

The woman was concerned about her behavior because she did it in front of her boyfriend’s children. He called her selfish for not thinking about them.

She stated that his children enjoyed going to restaurants, so they went once a week. However, every time they went, her boyfriend cleverly left his card at home.

Every time her lover forgot his card, she had to pay for the meal. It didn’t worry her at first, but she ended up broke after paying so many times in the previous month.

They went out to lunch with his children one night after she got paid for her second job. Because she knew he frequently “forgot” his wallet, she sent him a reminder to bring it. He simply laughed it off.

When they arrived at the restaurant, her boyfriend’s children ordered a number of pricey new dishes off the menu, which the woman found costly.

Before they began eating, she asked her partner if he had his wallet so that he wouldn’t forget it again. When she inquired, he seemed astonished and began touching his pockets, looking for the wallet.
