Today, my boyfriend said he couldn't come to my grandfather's funeral because he was at his cottage and couldn't make it. Later that day, when driving home from the graveyard I saw him walking down the street, with another girl. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend out for a romantic dinner, since we can't see each other this Valentine's Day. Halfway through, my aunt called, telling me my grandma had died. I had to leave because I was crying so much, leaving my girlfriend with a very pricey bill. FML

Today, I was watching a movie alone, after receiving a text from my boyfriend saying that his grandma was at the hospital, so he couldn't go with me. I caught him on a date with another girl, at the same movie screening that I went to. FML

Today, I called my boyfriend to have a shoulder to cry on because my grandpa died. As soon as I told him, he started crying and telling me how much he missed his grandmother, who died six years ago. I spent the majority of the phone call listening to him wail. FML

Today, my boyfriend dumped me. I tried to hide my sadness from my mom. She still noticed, and tried to cheer me up. She took me to a funeral. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 2 months got upset and frustrated with me because he had yet to meet my mom. I'd told him on our first date that she passed away 4 years ago. FML

Today, I found out my grandmother passed away. When I told my boyfriend I began to cry. Instead of caring, he said "you're getting my bed wet," rolled over, and fell asleep. FML

Today, my boyfriend showed up at my grandmother's wake in torn jeans and a Family Guy t-shirt. When I took him aside asked him what the hell he was thinking, he lost his temper and stormed out. FML

That's pretty damn low to use a relative's death like that as an excuse just to not have to be with you for a day. And was he foolish enough to think you'd never find out later? I'm not a complete fan of "dump him" but I don't really like your boyfriend OP

Maybe it was his other grandma?

Why wouldn't you have gone to the funeral to support him? I know it ended up not being true, but I just find it odd.

Some families prefer to keep funerals a family matter only, etc etc I know in our family that's how it is, in our culture it's disrespectful to bring people who aren't part of the family or didn't know the deceased in a close way

Well, at least you found out he's a passive-aggressive liar.

Oh you must have not heard. He has a grandmother that no one knows about. You know, the one that comes up when someone is mad at him for some poor excuse.

Experience tells me that when a guy lies to his girlfriend about where he's going and what he's doing, he's probably cheating. Sorry, OP. :(

Maybe he was off buying you a really special gift for Christmas. Of course ,the grandma thing is far-fetched , but don't quickly look to cheating.

Or he could have just said, "Sorry, babe. Can't hang out today. I have to go Christmas shopping."

Where in the OP does it say she thought he was cheating?

66, Because when a guy tells his girlfriend he was somewhere he wasn't, it means he was doing something he didn't want her to know about. I would think most people's first thought is that he was with another woman. That's MY first thought in these situations, anyway.
