[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH’s friends never want to itemize. They’re the same ones that roll to meals/outings with two kids and sometimes au pair in tow. We are a childfree couple. Sometimes we can even it out by ordering more drinks than we had planned to, just so we don’t feel like we’re getting taken advantage of, but other times that’s just not possible.

It’s gotten so bad that i’ve had to think of alternative ways to handle it - bring cash and say we’re paying for our share in cash and they can pay the rest, etc. I asked to itemize once but DH’s friend made a fuss about it. I’m slowly ghosting this couple, but I don’t want to drop them completely because it’s one of DH’s longtime friends.

I don’t think they think we’re cheap. If anything, I think they think we’re rolling in cash because we don’t have kids. Come to think about it, I may start dropping hints about all my law school loans the next time we see them.[/quote]

The problem here is you.  When the server comes over to greet you say "Could you keep us on separate checks please, he and I are together, and then the rest of the table on the other check".  DONE.

Don't drop hints about your loans, wtf.  Just get in the habit of requesting separate checks.  If your "friends" don't like that, they aren't your friends! [/quote]
