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

Hi OP here, as it can be seen I decided to make an account. Now my girlfriend isn't the type to get mad over a bit of money, it's more of just personal guilt thing that lead me to include it. I wouldn't mind staying there and paying the bill but once she heard it was about my grandma she said she'd cover it while I went to visit my family. She even showed up with take out containers at the hospital, I visited with the few family that decided to show up and then we both went home. My girlfriend has been very understanding about it all and I do plan to make it up to her at some point.

OP, it sounds like you do have an understanding gf, and you are being a bit hard on yourself, that being said I am torn on this one as I despise the modern trend of people answering their phones in the middle of dinner, so have to go with YDI. While family is the most important part of many of our lives, the saddest part of this FML for me is that your phone is more important to you than a romantic date-night with your gf. When you get a chance to "make this up to your gf" turn the phone off and be there for her, no distractions.

Anyone can pick up a check, but not everyone can pick up a check on the spot that they were sure someone else was going to pick up -- not everyone brings enough cash or even their wallet, not everyone has enough in their bank account or on their credit card to cover dinner for two at a pricey place (or doesn't that cash/credit for something else immediate), and so on -- regardless of gender.

If she's a good girlfriend, she'll get it. My condolences, though.

why didn't your girlfriend leave with you perhaps going to a more private place where you could begin to deal with your grief together

I'm so sorry OP. I'm sure your gf understands and will allow you to help with the bill later. It will become an unimportant bill in the long run

I'm sure she understands, but couldn't you have paid the bill, or at least your half, prior to leaving? Or, just reimburse her. no worries. I'm sure her main concern is you. and I am so sorry for your loss

I'm sure she understood, but you could have slapped down some money before leaving, too.
