If you go out for dinner with extended family, how do you end up settling the bill? One of my cousins feels it’s not fair for one person to pay, but I know there are others who don’t mind and will pay the bill for the entire table. How do you handle it?

I personally would pay the entire bill. If you want to split it, you and the cousin coordinate before dinner amongst yourself + others if any… Discussing such matters at the table is gauche.

like

May Allah reward you D1 - I like this approach. Just coordinate before hand or pay if you can

Honestly, I think it’s better to split.

It depends on who’s working and who invited out the group. I think if there’s majority working progressional s they should split up the bill. Unless you invite everyone out for an occasion then you should take it

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Happy wife happy life is a really toxic saying. I’m just shocked how this has become the standard saying for men in relationships.

However, imagine the saying reversed - happy husband happy life - that would lead to all kinds of uproar. To me happy wife happy life means I need to sacrifice my wants and needs to make my wife happy.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.
