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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boyfriend told me he couldn't spend the day with me as he had his grandmother's funeral. Lonely, I went shopping and I bumped into his mum having lunch with his 'dead' grandma. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend of a year out on a date, a nice fancy dinner and a movie. After dinner, I said that I was feeling sick and just wanted to go home. I didn't have the heart to tell her that dinner was so expensive that I didn't have money for the movie. 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 broke up with me at my grandma's funeral. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to eat out at a restaurant. We chatted for an hour, and it all seemed to be going well, until she told me that she wanted to break up. Waiting for the bill and driving her home was the most painful time of my life. 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, my girlfriend and I went out for ice cream. We somehow started talking about which of our relatives had died. Right when she was talking about how her grandfather had died, I started laughing. She had gotten ice cream all over her face. She broke up with me. FML
Today, my girlfriend, who I thought was the one I’d one day marry, didn’t survive her first time meeting the extended family. My parents loved her, but my grandma, great grandma, aunties, and cousins gave her such a hard time that she ran out in tears, jumped on a bus, then broke up with me via text. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I didn't call her in the last few days. I tried to explain to her that I was out at my grandfather's house in a remote place with no cell service to stand by him on his death bed. She thought I was making excuses and called me a lying bastard. 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

Why didn't you pay the bill before you left

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.
