[quote=Anonymous]A few years after college, my live-in BF was out of work due to a mental illness. He received limited disability, but it didn't cover our expenses let alone his med bills. I attended a BD party for a friend. I ordered the cheapest item on the menu and no drinks because I really had no extra money - I attended to be there for my friend and allow myself an evening out during a very hard time. Her lawyer friend with rich parents shamed me for not putting more money into the till even though equally sharing the meal was never discussed (and not a practice to which I was accustomed - people pitched in based on what they consumed). I quietly explained that I had put in enough for my meal, a portion of my friend's, and the tip portion, but that was not enough for lawyer friend. It was really ugly.

And once at the beginning of grad school, a woman refused to put in more money, not even enough to cover her portion, even though dividing the bill equally was discussed at the beginning of the meal.

I have been in situations where folks will say, "I'm only going to get a drink and no food," to signal they are not paying for Jack Smith's five Manhattans and I totally get that. [/quote]
