Getting engaged is an exciting time, but one woman's NYE celebration was cut short after a family dinner turned contentious. The woman's fiancé had invited her to join his family out at an expensive restaurant - ordering multiple dishes, desserts, and drinks - but forgot to bring money.

When it came time to pay, the woman refused to cover the entire bill, leading to an argument. She marched out of the restaurant, feeling awful for leaving the family in the lurch. Despite this, the fiancé then accused her of ruining the celebration and making his parents suffer.

How should the woman move forward from here? To get into the comments below, let's dive into the post first to understand the woman's experience at the restaurant.
