When dining with a group, it can sometimes get awkward when you finally receive the tab. Generally speaking, when dining with parents, they would offer to pay for the entire bill or split it according to who ordered which.

But according to a female doctor's experience, this was not the case when she was invited to a New Year's Eve dinner with her fiancé's family. The toxic future in-laws expected her to shoulder the entire restaurant bill.

Reddit user Footingbills321 shared her experience via the popular subreddit, AITA. Everything started great during that dinner. Her SO's family ordered a lot of food, drinks, and desserts.

Then it was finally time to pay. She pulled her wallet out, expecting that they'll go Dutch. But to her surprise, the SO's parents didn't bring any money with them.

Her SO, who didn't have a job, left his wallet at home. What was she to do?

It was an expensive dinner, and the SO's parents had the audacity to order those meals, expecting her to pay. Then her fiancé's dad even said this.

"Alright so guess we should let the doctor pay!!" She expected to pay only for her part.

And she wasn't willing to shoulder a dinner that's so expensive. The dinner ended up in her walking out of the restaurant.

And now, the community decides who's in the wrong here.

We wonder if they're still loveable at this point.

Yikes!

Anyone would be taken aback by this.

She'd probably be willing to pay if it wasn't this extravagant.

So, it's her fault now?

Her question.

It's probably a good thing that they're not married yet.

She'd be put in this situation countless times if she marries the guy.

Some redditors believe the guy is just in it for the money. She is a doctor after all!

The original poster needs to break off the engagement.

She needs to reconsider.

The parents are so ridiculous.

The right etiquette is to go Dutch.

What the dad said was just way out of line.

True! They only need to transfer the money to her. So why force her into paying the ultra expensive dinner, by herself?

This would have been interesting.

The parents aren't willing to pay, that's why.

The foreseeable future

This family are the only ones who expect the invitee to pay up.

Scammers is the right word indeed! They're a family of scammers!

The marriage isn't worth it.

She has to dump him now, or she'll have expensive dinners to pay for in the future.

Uh oh! We hope it doesn't come to that.

They obviously planned it.

The parents' "brilliant" idea

The original poster needs to run for the hills.

Redditors agree that the original poster isn't the a**hole in the situation.

No matter what etiquette book you read, you'll never find one that can defend the behavior of this thick-skinned family. The least they could do is pay for what they ordered.

She probably did herself a favor by walking out. And she probably needs to walk out of her fiancé's life as well.

The sooner, the better! Because at this point, it seems that it's not only the guy who's taking advantage of what she's earning.
