But things got tricky when the in-laws started expecting them to pay every time they dined out. At first, the couple didn’t mind, but then they realized it wasn’t fair.
During one dinner, the in-laws handed the bill to the husband without even looking at it. This happened again at a fancier restaurant.
The wife was bothered by this, especially when the in-laws used her award as an excuse for an expensive meal.
When the wife raised her concerns, her husband got defensive. He thought they could afford it, but the wife felt it was unfair. Eventually, they decided to postpone the fancy dinner and politely declined other invites.
The husband later apologized and understood how his parents were taking advantage of their generosity.
The couple still had meals with the in-laws but made it clear they wouldn’t always pick up the tab.
