If you’re ordering big, you’d better be ready to pay big. 

Dinner is expensive. I don’t know if you’ve gone out to eat recently, but it’s a pretty huge expense. Things can add up quickly, and in ways that you might not expect. If you’re going out to dinner, you’d better be prepared to front the cost of it, unless someone has expressly told you that they’re taking you out. If you’re just tacitly expecting them to cover your meal, then you’ve done something wrong. Especially in a relationship. There should be expectations and boundaries around who is paying for what, especially if it’s expensive. A good rule of thumb is that if you’re ordering caviar at a restaurant and you’re expecting someone else to pay for it, but it’s not explicitly clear that they are, then you’ve done something wrong. It should never be a surprise when the bill comes to the table. But that’s what happened in this relationship story from the AITAH subreddit.
