Today, my boyfriend took me to a very elegant and expensive restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. When it came to the check, I volunteered to pitch in half, which he rejected by saying, "I got it". Little did I know was that "I got it" was short for "I got your credit card." FML

Today, my husband took me out for my birthday dinner. When it was time to pay, he took out a stack of gift cards. I asked where he got them, and he said he got them as a bundle at Costco, and saved sixty bucks on the meal. He then got annoyed with me when I told him it made me not want birthday sex. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument at a restaurant with a guy I am seeing because he refused to let me pay for the bill and I thought it was sexist. When he finally agreed, I gave the waiter my card, only to have him return a minute later telling me it was declined. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went to a restaurant so I could apply for a job, and we decided to eat there. After we finished, I went to start the car. When we got home, I asked him how much the bill came to. Apparently he didn't pay. I had already given them my completed application. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. When it came time for us to leave, I saw him write something on the receipt for our waitress. I managed to get a quick look; it was his number. FML
Today, I got a chance to have dinner and a movie with a girl I've liked for a while. I ran late, so in a hurry to make the movie, and trying to be smooth for her, I told the waiter I'd "take care of him" if he made it fast. He did. When he brought the check, I realized I had forgotten my wallet. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to visit me for my birthday. Over dinner he handed me a blank card that had the words "I love you" hastily written on it. When the waiter came to take our order he informed him that we'd be paying separately. Happy Birthday. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to pick up a few things from the store for him while he was at work. After picking up everything he asked for, I wasn't left with much money so I used $50 from my account. When he got home he then grumbled about me spending all of "his" money. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My wife took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. She made me pay for my birthday dinner, along with hers. She also got me a gift card to HER favorite store. FML
Today, I treated my boyfriend to an expensive dinner using the last of my paycheck. I had to excuse myself to the bathroom a few minutes in. I came back to find my plate empty. His excuse was, "I didn't want the food to get cold." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I had a lovely dinner date. Our waitress was really sweet, so we talked about leaving her a big tip. When we got home, we discovered we both thought the other person had left it. FML

Although men aren't required to pay, taking your credit card is just rude. He needs to at least be honest instead of saying "I got it."

what is up with these boyfriends and stealing their girlfriends' credit cards??!!

Plot twist: it was the same guy in both FML's and he's cheating on his girlfriends.

Plot twist: the girlfriends are the credit cards.

Or get a furry brown wallet with fangs! (Ps, #1 we share the same birthday!)

He was honest. He told her he 'got it'. It's not his fault the OP misunderstood.

#11 You're probably someone who would steal a credit card from a girl. It's not OP's fault that some douchebag took her credit card and acted as if it was his.
JennaNGood 21
Of course men aren't required to pay, but as he was taking her out for their anniversary, clearly it's his gift to the both of them, therefore he should be the one paying. OP was being generous offering to pay for half, and then got ripped off by her asshat of a boyfriend. He sounds like a complete douche.

11 - Being deliberately misleading so people misunderstand you is not honesty.
Obey_StudBoii 23
#11 I want to just literally smack you across the face for being so idiotic and stupid
Little4Bear 10
This one went right over #11's head. Either that or he's just being equally as a douchebag as OP's boyfriend.

21 exactly, it's THEIR anniversary, so why should the guy be expected to pay?
thrAsHeRr9081 16
52 - If I take my husband out to eat or for drinks, I pay. If he takes me out, he pays. It's just the way it should work. Sometimes we split the bill, which is fine too!

People chill out. Am I the only one that got that #11 was totally being sarcastic?
Jarl_the_Elite 27
"I got it" in that situation generally means that they will pay for it
Jarl_the_Elite 27
#52: I agree 100%

52 she didn't expect him to pay that's kind of why it was a dick move on his part he shouldn't act like such a twat waffle. on the other hand he may have trying to make her feel special and may end up paying the credit card dues but without an update the world may never know
JennaNGood 21
You only took one sentence of mine to make your point. I went on to point out that if he is the one paying for the dinner as a gift, then he should be the one to pay it, not OP. forgive me if I'm wrong, but it customary for both partners to get one another a gift is it not? How do you know OP didn't already get her partner a gift? Idiot.

How chivalrous of him. Next time there is a puddle blocking your path I assume he will put your coat down so you can walk over it.

Op "Thank you so much! But what a shame to ruin such a cute coat! Almost something like I would buy... Hey wait..."
awkwardloveannie 28
maybe he was being a gentleman meant "I got it! I can pickpocket like a pro" he was working on communication and deception skills

It was nice of you to offer, but wow, that's just taking the piss. If it was his idea to go to an expensive restaurant, then he should be obligated to contribute, if not pay all. Even if he didn't want to pay, it was a sleazeball move to use your credit card without permission. I believe that's technically fraud.
dca101 23
Seems legit

Go on a hugeeeee shopping spree (I'm talkin necklaces, dresses, earrings) and come back making sure your boyfriend sees you and when he asks how you paid, say "I got it." He'll know what it means :)
ViRepz 28
That she took her card back?

Good call

ViRepz, You really aren't very smart, right?

#13 NO! That she took his card.

But... What if the boyfriend doesn't have a credit card?
uoeno_fml 20
I ain't saying he a gold digger, but he really is a broke....jerk

Paying for your girlfriend's meal for her: Priceless. There are some things money can't buy... for everything else, there's her Mastercard.

Hm, if I were you I would get your card back and really think about this relationship and ask yourself," do I really wanna pay for my own date?"

Guys always pay for their dates...
cocainewhore 30
#78 my fiancé and I always split the bill on expensive dates, unless one of us is out of money. Dates are supposed to be nice for both people, so there is no reason why the guy should have to pay.
