A couple who recently embraced sobriety is struggling with their dining out routine of splitting the check evenly with their friends. The couple no longer consume expensive drinks, which significantly add to the bill, but their friends continue to split the check evenly. They are unsure how to approach the topic without appearing cheap or rude. The advice columnist suggests considering the amount of drinks consumed and whether it is worth bringing up the issue. If the couple feels they are being treated unfairly, they could ask for separate bills or order their own items to even things out. The columnist encourages honesty and congratulates the couple on their sobriety. The couple is advised to communicate openly with their friends about the change in their dining habits. The column also promotes the columnist’s new anthology on marriage, infidelity, communication, and reconciliation. Readers are encouraged to send their questions to the advice column for future columns.
