On Friday I (F25) was out with a group of my friends at a nightclub, just girls. I had gone outside with a smoking friend and was on my way back to our table when I bumped into Jake, who is the boyfriend of a friend of mine, Eve (who was not at the club, different friend group). He was there with some of his friends and my smoking friend seemed to be getting on with one of his so we invited them to our table.

We all hung out for the rest of the night and at the end of the evening, Jake wanted to pay for everyone’s drinks. We all said that wasn’t necessary and his friends tried to stop him but he was insistent. I found this quite weird because I know where Jake works and didn’t think he had “pay for 8 people’s table service” kind of money but then I didn’t want to presume. At the end of the day, it was odd but it wasn’t that odd because I’ve had the same thing happen before a few times. Eventually he paid, we all thanked him and went home.

The next day Eve called me screaming saying I’ve put Jake in a terrible financial situation and I just have never let him pay for the drinks. I said I didn’t suggest it and tried to refuse but he was insistent, but she said I should have known better. She said she’s now having to loan him money for rent. I don’t think it was my responsibility to babysit her boyfriend or know his bank balance. She thinks I should have figured he couldn’t comfortably afford it and outright refused. Our friends are divided. AITA?
