[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone saying OP should "host" e.g. pay for meals for all her friends who have husbands etc? There is clear wealth disparity between her and her married friends who are married to bankers. I would never expect a friend who lives in a crappy studio cover my and my husband's restaurant check under any conditions [/quote]

The way to show hospitality to your friends for cheap is to cook something inexpensive. OP has ruled that out. Her friends are apparently regularly feeding her. She should reciprocate in some manner. Also, she did not say money was the issue here. [/quote]

It does sound to me that she reciprocates within her means - bearings wine and gifts to their events. I wouldn’t expect much from someone much poorer than myself

She said nothing about money being the issue for her. And do you think people who aren't rich don't host or cook? Tons of people host in their 20s from studio apartments. And there's not a chair shortage out there in the world, you can get some more chairs if that's the issue. Put a curtain up if you don't want people to see your bed. If you want to reciprocate your friends hosting and cooking for you, you will find a way of doing that. [/quote]
