Dear Abby: At the end of my friend's party, I learned I was paying for it
"If this has become a social norm, I am as unaware as you are. When guests are invited to a celebration, it is the host's responsibility to treat them unless it is understood when the invitation is issued that everyone will be expected to pay for the meal. The next time this person invites you somewhere, make sure to ask whether you will be splitting the bill. That way there will be no surprises."
"My wife of seven years secretly visits her ex-husband. She visits him with and without his spouse present. However, she forbids me from speaking to or visiting any woman from my past unless she is present. My wife suffers from major depression. She's on medication but refuses to see a counselor. Her family has informed me that she was unfaithful to spouses prior to me. I am faithful to her."
A guest attended a friend's birthday dinner with 10 people and brought gifts. The group was unexpectedly presented the bill for the celebrant, leading to a $99 per-person charge. When guests are invited to a celebration, the host is responsible for treating them unless the invitation explicitly states guests will pay or split the cost. Ask whether the bill will be split before accepting an invitation. In a separate case, a husband reports his wife secretly visits her ex-husband and forbids him contact with his past female acquaintances. He is entitled to be upset and the wife appears to live by a double standard.
