When his friend and her guests arrived, he noticed she had given him a very expensive cut of meat to cook and said the butcher had recommended it. His friend laughed it off, so he went through with cooking it.
“We end up having a great dinner; everyone was very complimentary about the food, and I opened some wine I’d bought for the dinner too,” he recalled.
“We ended up chatting until quite late before everyone left. Things got a little awkward after they left. I received a text from my friend saying they’d all enjoyed the dinner and asking me to transfer her around $64 for the steaks. I refused, pointing out that I hadn’t eaten any and that I’d paid for everything else.”
His friend then became upset and said he should’ve told her he wouldn’t be willing to help pay for the meat, as she would’ve chosen something else for everyone to eat instead because she’s not in the best place financially.
He thought this was very strange, as his friend had known for a long time that he was a vegetarian, and it was very presumptive of her to think he’d be willing to pay for the expensive meat.
He’s sought advice on this issue from some of their mutual friends, and their responses were mixed. While some agree he shouldn’t have to pay, others believe that since he invited everyone to dinner, he should be willing to pay for the ingredients.
Was his friend wrong to ask him to pay for the steak, or should he contribute to the cost?
