Morning Pink,

I don't think I've ever arranged dinner out without intending to pay. To my mind your H is either:
A) unbelievably messed up to the point where I question how he looks after himself;
B) incredibly manipulative and deceitful; or
C) desperately, desperately sad.

Does he see an IC at all?

I like to think that if I were in your circumstances I would have left the meal anyway (leaving some money with one of the boys or agreeing to sort it out with them later) or better yet asked H to leave since he couldn't contribute.

Anyway, hope you're feeling OK today
