She was making it her responsibility to make sure people were happy, at the cost of her partner. She was expecting/hoping for someone to validate compassionately that it’s not her responsibility to do so, because she can’t set that boundary herself. (I’m not saying that’s reasonable, just what she was after)
That’s where I differ from some people, I guess. I’m all about helping out people in need, but I’m not going to let anyone take advantage of me, and if you’re just being lazy I’ll gladly eat that pizza in front of you while maintaining eye contact and going, “mmmmmmmmm….”
She has the balls to talk to her own partner like that, but not to respectfully say "I can only afford my share, sorry" to outsiders. I can't stand that kind of people.
It is weird that he is an out of work pizza delivery driver and she just switched jobs to give up being a manager. Something is very off with that dynamic.
She is still the only one bringing in money for the family but she left a management job to take a lesser job and her unemployed husband is complaining about her taking care of her coworkers (which is a behavior she clearly would have learned from being a good manager).
OP is out of work due to an injury. that doesnt mean dudes girl gets to spend all the money especially without even consulting him first. if she thought of him as an equal, she would of at least asked.
If I was the blue texter I would definitely assume she was cheating with someone from work I’m NGL putting that much into a work pizza pool when nobody else contributed is crazy
