My Boyfriend is Addicted to Eating Out?

Question

He literally will eat out every day if he can. We live together and he pays majority of bills and usually has 150+ left a week after paying bills and it all goes down the drain with eating out. Sometimes he’ll even get 2 meals. When he gets Bojangles he gets a chicken biscuit meal and a steak biscuit meal and never eats it all? If we eat at cheddars he gets the New Orleans pasta and a chicken tender platter and once again doesn’t eat it all? He also gets upset with me when he “runs out” of money and I don’t want to pay to eat out, I’d rather go to the store and get something to cook because it’s cheaper and they’ll be left overs! Even if I do cook if he has the money he’ll literally go out and get something to eat. I’m just curious to see if anyone else’s SO does the same thing or if he has a real issue lol

Accepted Answer

I literally read this as my boyfriend is addicted to eating ME out

Answer

If he doesn't eat it all, you should make him pack the leftovers for lunch or make him eat it for dinner the next day. Lol.

Answer

I would say he has a problem esp since it doesnt matter if you cook and he will sometimes get 2 meals. My bf and I sometimes eat out a lot but when it comes down to it and we want to save, we will cook at home or if we dont have time, pick something cheap. Managing your money is an essential skill esp under a budget

Answer

My husband pretty much always eats lunch out at work, though his work has a discounted cafeteria for employees so it’s not as big a deal if he goes there. When he was spending a lot of money eating at other places I helped him come up with a reasonable weekly budget for lunches and he has to stick to that. If he wants more expensive meals some days, then he’s going to have to bring leftovers or make his own lunch another day!

Answer

My husband loves to eat out but he doesnt order more than he can eat. If he has leftovers from a restaurant he eats it later that day or the next day so say a meal is $15 at a sit down place. He will eat off it probably twice so it's not too bad. But he will spend $20 at Wendy's and eat it all in one sitting. Lol idk how someone can do that.

Answer

I’m exactly the same. Hate cooking, hate shopping, I spend all my spare cash on eating out. Normally cheap places like McD but I just like being out for meals....

Answer

I have to talk my husband into eating out. He says he gets disappointed because I can make better versions of whatever he orders from a restaurant and for a lot cheaper with leftovers. I have to explain that sometimes it's just nice to not cook. I think the last time we ate out that wasn't due to us traveling out of town was in like September

Answer
