AITAH for „ruining“ my bf’s birthday dinner cause I didn’t accepted to pay for everyone?
A woman (OP, 20F) planned a special birthday dinner for her boyfriend, Ryan (21M), covering the cost for just the two of them at a nice restaurant.
She made the reservation and dressed up, looking forward to the intimate celebration they had agreed upon. Upon arrival, OP was surprised to find that Ryan had invited his best friend and the friend's girlfriend without informing her beforehand.
When the unexpectedly large bill arrived, Ryan reminded OP that she offered to pay, leading to an argument when she refused to cover the extra couple.
The situation escalated when OP paid only for herself and Ryan, leading Ryan to call her "cheap" and give her the cold shoulder for a week; OP is now considering breaking up with him.

OP is in a difficult position, caught between her initial generous intention for her boyfriend's birthday and the v***ation of that boundary by Ryan inviting uninvited guests.
The main conflict is now centered on Ryan's refusal to communicate constructively and his use of insults, rather than addressing the financial misunderstanding.
The central question for consideration is whether OP should end the relationship based on this breach of trust and disrespectful behavior, or if the situation can be salvaged.
Readers must weigh the value of OP's planned gesture against Ryan's ent*tled response and subsequent week-long silent treatment.
