Parents invite son and girlfriend to graduation dinner and expect them to pay, son's girlfriend retaliates by refusing to buy them Christmas gifts: 'They live so out of their means it’s sickening'

Money matters are notorious for causing problems in romantic relationships, and this can easily prove the case when it comes to in-laws as well. Dealing with an extended family that is stingy or expects a level of financial contribution that goes too far can be something that makes even level-headed individuals lose their temper.

In this story, a woman was angry after the parents of her long-term boyfriend invited them and her family out to dinner to celebrate his graduation. They were notoriously financially unstable, and when the bill came, they asked to split it.

A week later, she found out they were making an expensive purchase for themselves, which made the woman even more upset. She told her boyfriend she would not be buying them Christmas gifts as a result, but she wasn't sure if she was taking things too far.
