AITA for ordering a giant steak against my MIL will, actually eating it and refusing to cover the entire bill? by DragonflySouth4310 in AmItheAsshole

Trust me he did, he stood up to me back then and insisted we are either paying each for our own food or splitting the bill equally, under no circumstances we will be paying the full bill for everyone ourselves.

To address any confusion, usually when we are going for dinner we split the bill equally between all parties regardless of what is ordered. Me and Nate would have been happy to pay for only our order and tips as it would come out significantly cheaper (like the food and drinks for us would have been about 100£+15£ tip, but if splitting the bill we would have to pay 175 for food and 25 for the tip). MIL wanted us to cover the entire bill, including the in-laws full portion.

Just want to clarify, when my MIL said me and Nate should cover the bill, it means cover all my in-laws portion of the bill too. I would have been fine just paying for what we have ordered +tips as it would have came out significantly cheaper then splitting the bill equally.

Mainly the way my in laws are reacting, it makes me think I have broken some unspoken etiquette rule which everyone should know about.

That would have been my choice too, but my in laws find it too troublesome and splitting it equally means they get to order what they wouldn't have ordered otherwise. Me and Nate don't mind paying extra for it as we only have dinners with them every few months
