[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was this the first time you met and interacted with this man? And no, normally family doesn't pay for meals when they visit. My parents or ILs never do. Neither do we when we visit and stay with them. We don't see them so often that this would be a problem and we mostly have homecooked meals anyway. Paying is normally for friends, who you rarely see and feel that it's appropriate to chip in when you stay in their house. [/quote]

I’m glad you don’t see it as a problem but I do. I think it’s so bizarre to go to someone’s house and never offer to pay for anything. I also think it’s bizarre to insist on particular restaurants, order the most expensive things on the menu and never bother to chip in. Sorry that’s rude especially if I had to hear how he was such a corporate hotshot and retired “rolling in dough”. [/quote]

NP. Why didn't you use your words? "Sorry, we can't afford that restaurant." "Sorry, we can only afford to go out once this month." [/quote]

I did the frustration here is that he doesn’t listen. [/quote]

Then how did you wind up at that restaurant if you couldn't afford to go? Just ... don't get in the car.  It sounds like he doesn't listen because you don't speak directly. [/quote]
