One person faced a tough situation at a family dinner in a fancy restaurant. He was used to treating his family when he came home from his successful job abroad. This time, his mom organized a big gathering without asking him. When he arrived, he found over 20 people, including someone he barely knew.
Everyone ordered expensive steaks, and someone praised him for paying the bill, which was already around $4,000. Feeling taken advantage of, he left $100 and said he wouldn’t pay. He turned off his phone and left the country without saying goodbye.
Despite his extreme reaction, he felt hurt that his family treated him this way. He had been very generous, providing cars, home renovations, vacations, and more. His family accused him of being selfish and disrespectful.
Feeling unappreciated, he canceled many services and financial support for his family. They reacted badly, even uninviting him from a cousin’s wedding. His mother sent hostile messages, and his family branded him greedy.
People on Reddit sided with him, saying his family was disrespectful for assuming he would pay for everyone. They believed he did the right thing by standing up for himself.
