I went out with my boyfriends family the other day, I had a very good time, and I thought they enjoyed spending time with me as well. Then my boyfriend tells me that I offended his mother, by refusing to buy any thing other than the cheapest thing on the menu each time we went out to eat, and joking about how I always try to find the best deal, or cheapest thing on the menu or in the stores. He said this was disrespectful, I was raised that You never get any thing that cost more than you can spend, or more than what the person who is paying for the meal is getting! Is my logic wrong? Was I raised to believe wrong? Also while we were shopping, I would hold open the door for his mother and Aunts , he said that she felt that it seemed that I was trying to hard and that was like overkill, and made me seem fake, I was raised that You do that type of thing out of respect and kindness, I didn't mean to offened anyone. I feel I was in the right about all of this, but he says I need to change?
