A Reddit user recently shared a troubling experience where her boyfriend disappeared after a romantic dinner to celebrate their third anniversary. The 26-year-old woman had been financially supporting her boyfriend, Jeremy, for years, even buying him a car when he was unemployed. Despite his promises to repay her, he hadn’t worked for two and a half years, spending his days at the gym or playing video games.
In a surprising turn of events, Jeremy secured a side job and suggested a special dinner to express gratitude. The anniversary dinner went well until the bill arrived. Jeremy claimed he left his wallet in the car, excused himself, but never returned. After waiting for an hour and unable to contact him, the woman settled the bill and took an Uber home.
Jeremy later apologized, citing an unexpected issue for his abrupt departure. Fed up with his behavior, the woman ended the relationship, throwing his things out and refusing him entry. Jeremy, lacking funds, spent the night on the streets.
Responding to comments, the woman revealed her long history of financial support, insisting she felt like a “wallet.” She acknowledged gender biases in financial roles and expressed uncertainty about the relationship’s future. The purpose of her post was an outlet for frustration rather than proving specific details, recognizing the complexity of relationships.
Do you think OP was wrong for making her boyfriend sleep on the streets because he didn’t pay for their third-anniversary dinner date? What would you do if you were in OP’s place?
