I started dating someone I met in college and the below scenario happened. We have discussed this scenario more than once and he keep insisting he was being considerate by sharing with me and I feel it was quite the opposite. If I was in his shoes I would have handled the situation WAY differently. I can't get past this and I feel like it's a red flag for what's to come.

He met up with me at school after I had a stressful exam AND I had forgotten my wallet at home so I had no $ whatsoever, which he knew, says he's gona take me to the deli, we get there and he orders himself a breakfast sandwhich, homefries and coffee and tells me he'll share his homefries with me and get me a coffee. Doesn't ask if I want anything or if I'm hungry (I was), and doesn't offer to share the sandwhich. I felt pretty bad but thought MAYBE I misheard and we were gonna share everything so we start eating and I reach over and take half the sandwhich and take a bite and he takes it out of my hand, rips it in half and leaves me with the piece I bit. When I asked what was happening he said "I said I'd share the homefries". When I pointed out that it was kinda weird and rude and confusing for him to do that he said it was all a miscommunication and that he didn't know I was hungry. It got brought up again at a later date because it never sat well with me and he said it was because he didn't have enough money to get more food which, in that case I would have totally understood but he didn't even offer to share half of what he did have.
