Man called “broke husband” after refusing to pay R13,000 bill
Figuring out how the bill will be paid at the end of the night always ends in an awkward situation…
To split the bill or not. That is the question.
We’ve all been in situations where we're unsure who will pay the bill, so splitting it at the end of the day is just the easiest.
This was not the case for one Reddit user.

A man took to Reddit’s popular "Am I the assh*le" group to share his experience.
"My wife has four friends who she has been really close with since high school. For a celebration, my wife decided to go to an expensive steak house," wrote the husband.
"We all eat and my wife slides the $700 bill and proceeds to say: 'The man should always pay for the wife and her friends.' I laugh awkwardly saying why. She says because I’m the man," he continued.
He told his wife that he'd only be paying for her and himself, to which her friends responded by laughing and saying, "broke husband".
"I stand up and put two one hundred dollar bills for me and my wife’s food and leave," he continued.

"My wife gets home and starts screaming at me. Saying I made her feel embarrassed. How she promised her friends I’d pay. And that her friends made fun of her on the ride home for marrying a man who can’t pay the bill.
"I decided to pack a bag and head to my friend's house. I told my parents/friends, and they said I should have just paid it."
The 24-year-old headed to Reddit to ask for opinions as he had second thoughts about whether he perhaps over-reacted.
