[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also know one can be generous in many ways, not just financial. These people aren’t generous with time, favors, etc either.

Another old friend I have paid for and treated for decades. I always made more and Dh earns a lot. She is pretty generous with others but never with me. I feel when she is with me, she tries to take advantage, like ordering the most expensive things on the menu, taking food to go, etc. I used to not mind or try not to care but I am starting to care.[/quote]

I think at this point this is an established pattern for you guys. If you've treated her for decades, then she's not going to change. I think your other taker friends probably all see you as the chum who pays.

Personally, I would not have continued to treat someone when they blatantly picks out the most expensive items on a menu that they wouldn't have ordered on their own dime. That's like waving a flag identifying themselves as takers. And you continued to treat them long after that, so you're just the wallet for them.
