I shouldnt feel this upset but I do. I had a joint Thanksgiving Day dinner with my good friend last week at his apartment. I wanted to have it at my place, but he has a much bigger kitchen, and so we did it there. He paid for the food and drink with his credit card, it cost $140.00 total. I ASSUMED we would split the costs down the middle, I should have discussed this with him first, but I didnt. At the party 20 total guests came, and 15 were my friends. There were like 5 bottles of wine left over and all of the food, and he kept everything. I paid him $70.00 the next day, my share. He immediately starting bitching, saying that bcs I had most of the people at the party and he hosted it, that he shouldnt have to pay. I was stupid and finally just paid him more, $110.00 of the $140.00. Still all day yesterday, he texted me saying he wants me to pay the other $30.00. I cant understand why he is being so cheap. First of all he kept ALL of the extra food and drink, had 5 friends at the party, and makes like 5 times more than my salary, he is pretty rich.

Why is he being so cheap? What should I do? I cant understand how anyone would joint host a party and assumed he pays NOTHING. I am pretty pissed and dont know what to do. He sent me like 5 text messages yesterday, asking for the cash…..is this guy my friend? what would you do?
