We've all been in situations where splitting the bill has caused some tension, but this one takes the cake! 🍰 A man (28M) has been meeting up with his two friends, Dee (27F) and Tommy (29M), for regular meals since middle school. After the pandemic, Dee stopped working, and Tommy began insisting on splitting the bill two ways, essentially making the man pay for half of Dee's meals. But when they went to a fancier restaurant, the man had enough and confronted Tommy. The situation escalated, and now Tommy is accusing him of being embarrassing and not being a 'real man'. 🙄
