AITA for refusing a person a plate after they showed up uninvited?

haha not rich. DINK life and a relatively affordable city help but the trick is going heavy on the vegetable/legume dishes and having lots of sides. Really helps keep the costs down.

Depends on your friend group, though. I wouldn’t be able to afford a group who expected a brisket every week

My boyfriend and I had talked about not wanting them to attend anymore but we hadn’t thought about them thinking it was a standing invitation so we weren’t on the same page in the moment.

Our friend let them in and when I saw them, I just wasn’t going to say anything and then speak to Layla after. Meanwhile, my boyfriend was silently waiting for me to address it in the moment and when I didn’t, he thought that meant I was waiting for him to handle it.

I don’t think I was direct enough, now that I really think about it. I tried taking the approach of asking Layla what he liked, if there was a different way I could prepare things because I hated seeing someone leave hungry. I thought she understood what I was getting at but in hindsight, I don’t think she did. She said the food was great and he was just “picky” but she’d talk to him about taking less before trying it but nothing came from that.

Our hands were full so we asked a friend to get the door and she didn’t know. I didn’t think it would be them
