Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. After dessert, he went to the bathroom so I quickly called the waiter over and paid the bill, thinking it was a nice gesture. When he returned, he broke up with me for "emasculating" him. FML

Maybe I'm just a cheap ass but whenever someone pays for my food, I'm happy.

Tsk Tsk Noor, what are you doing out of the kitchen? You better scurry back in there before Ezio catches you.

You always hear men bitch about "women who want equality until the check comes", and then when you finally do pay you're accused of emasculating them? That's just pathetic.

so much this. I was just thinking about this earlier when coming up with some ideas for MRA marmoset memes.

If he broke up with you over that, something tells me that he wanted to break up with you anyway, and saw this as a opportunity

What an immature loser. Be glad he's gone.

I'm a WOMAN, and I don't even like it when people do this. While I'm always thankful if someone wants to buy my food, I always feel a little suspicious of people who wait until I'm in the bathroom, then pay my bill. It always feels like someone is either being smug or wants something to hold over me. (It's not paranoia, I have an in-law that does this.) I don't know why it's different to have someone offer to pay the bill verses grabbing the bill and paying while I'm in the bathroom, but it certainly feels like it. I don't think this is a guy thing at all.

I'm the same way, but it's pure paranoia. I'm always suspicious that they didn't tip properly, or they're trying to insinuate that I would have problems paying my share if they didn't.

Courtesy is great but it shouldn't be a 'gentlemanly' thing, it should be expected of both genders.

When my boyfriend and I first started going out he paid for everything. I feel weird having people pay for me so I brought up him paying once, then me next, and then we split it and so forth. He said yeah that was fine. He doesn't mind if I pay, but if it's our anniversary or my birthday he always pays and his birthday I pay. Yes, sometimes I would just like to be treated like a lady and have him pay for everything but you have to compromise.

Depends if he was treating you to a nice night out he might think its no longer been a nice treat. If I was in his shoes I'd just insist on giving you my half of the check if its already been paid for.
