TL;DR
- A reader asked if it was wrong to push back when a friend on a GLP-1 medication asked to pay less for a shared dinner because she ate less.
- The article argues that friendships are doomed by such requests and that the rule of dining with friends is to split the bill equally.
- The author believes that expecting others to track and charge for individual consumption is tedious and unkind.
- Trusting that the bill will even out over time is presented as the healthy approach to shared dining expenses.
- If one cannot afford to split the bill equally, the suggestion is to avoid dining out with friends and opt for activities like cinema or walks instead.
