My issue with OP is that on the group chat the friends all had their say about Aaron, but OP forgot that when he first met Aaron who challenged that he didn't share in the bill, not a single friend spoke up for him. They left him out to dry. If OP claims they had been friends for so many years and this is the best they can do to support that friendship, it's time to rethink the quality of your friendships.
OP's friends were apparently OK with him paying for what he ate. BUT didn't back him up when Aaron acted like a jackass? And what about the girl who is part of the group and is now Aaron's GF. Total silence?
Arron is stupid for playing & acting he didn’t do anything wrong when he have from beginning OP don’t need to worry Arron can’t handled he’s being called out at the next next dinner on the bill good the friends got OP back plus Arron decide to play I’m the big man order the food and thinking he can control when he’s new comer OP the friends been long friends before Arron come the kid need to sit down and shut up Arron is nothing
This is precisely what should be done every time an idiot orders the most expensive meals, expecting the group to pay for it through a split. When this happens, you, too, should pile up the dishes, knowing the moochers will be shocked when they will be required to contribute as well. Also, this particular group of friends is weak. How about separate bills every time.
Who made him the table monitor? He overstepped his bounds and attempted to bully you by calling you out. You did not owe him an explanation or more towards the total meal. You should have asked him why was it so important to him. He’s the ah, and you had nothing to prove to him. Disappointing you changed your way of ordering because of him. Aaron needs to be uninvited from friend group gatherings.
How about this....? "So, first off, man. Things have been done this way for YEARS for reasons of which you are not yet privy to due to this being the very first time you have ever had a meal with our group. Perhaps once you have gotten home your girlfriend so-and-so will be able to fill you in. We appreciate your concern for the wellbeing of the group please keep in mind that we have had things set up a certain way for many years now. "
First off you to reevaluate your circle of friends. You should’ve sent a group text telling them that coming to your defense was foul and your female friend bringing him back again was foul after what he said. Second and this is my biggest question, HOW ON EARTH DID HE GET YOUR NUMBER AND WHY WAS A FLY BY NIGHT INCLUDED INTO A GROUP TEXT OF PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN FRIENDS FOR YEARS????
NTA so let me get this straight he's new to the group but is acting like he's been a part of it for years wow and your friends are major a**holes for nit sticking up for you. You guys have a system in place and that works for all of you and he come along and try to change it. I for one will not pay for food and drinks that I didn't even partake of,BTW your friends are the a**holes for not saying anything
First off if these have been your friends since childhood they should have had your back no matter what second off this guy is coming into the group and is a newbie he needs to know his place third off if you didn't touch any of their appetizers or didn't have any drinks then you have every right to only pay for what you ordered. And the newbie needs to mind his own goddamn business.😊
I would have said, " why are you trying to freeload on my pocket ? "
Arron play stupid game win stupid prize
How is it that paying your own tab is not a fair share? No other person is even paying a fragment of your dinner.
What I don't understand is how Aaron's lady friend didn't say stfu or leave

NTA THIS IS YOUR ROUTE FRIENDS SHOULD HAVE STICK UP FOR YOU. HOW IS YOU PAYING YOURSELF WRONG OR SELFISH
I hope your friend, whom Aaron was dating, broke up with him. Massive red flags. 🚩
Someone asking you to split the bill when they overindulged shows how cheap they are.

Dude you need new friends 😔. If they have a problem with you paying your own bills, they aren't true friend 😠. Leave them alone.

He should’ve told him to shut the hell up

No splitting bills! Nope!
Yes splitting bills! I'm not paying for the extravagance of my friends. They can blow their budgets, but I won't.
How about this....?
