My friend group expects me to split bills equally… even when I order way less
0 support0 reactions0 replies
This has been bothering me for a while now.
Whenever we go out as a group, the bill just gets split equally between everyone.
The thing is, I usually order way less than others.
Sometimes it’s just a drink or something small, while others are ordering full meals, desserts, multiple rounds.
But at the end, it’s always “let’s just split it evenly.”
And if I bring it up, it immediately feels awkward — like I’m being cheap or difficult.
So I’ve just been going along with it.
But recently I realised I’m basically paying extra every single time just to avoid that awkward moment.
Now I don’t even feel like going out with them as much.
Am I overthinking this, or is it actually fair to bring it up?

I just want to vent
Best replies here sound like: “That makes sense.” “That sounds exhausting.” “I can see why this hit hard.”
