Today, my boyfriend used the "this isn't working, we need to talk" line on me. How nice of him to wait this long to do so, just days after we returned from the expensive Caribbean holiday that I paid for. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend told me he needed to reconsider coming to see me for financial reasons. I'm the one paying for the airfare, giving him a place to stay, and covering his expenses while he's here. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to break up with me but it had to be after our cruise together because he doesn't want to lose out on money. Can't wait for the Bahamas. FML
Today, after working another double shift because I want to buy my boyfriend a really expensive anniversary present, I get to his apartment to find him calculating in how many paychecks he'll be able to afford a Caribbean getaway. For himself. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he wants to break up. But not until after our anniversary tomorrow, because he's already gotten dinner reservations for us. FML
Today, the guy I've fallen for and have been dating on and off for 2 years told me that he kept contacting me to re-connect because he missed hanging out with me, but didn't actually have any feelings for me. I already paid for a non-refundable weekend away as his Christmas present for us both. FML
Today, I got a phone call from my boyfriend breaking things off with me. He waited until the day after Christmas because he wanted all his presents. And he got me nothing. FML
Today, my long-distance British boyfriend of 7 years canceled his plane ticket to visit me in the USA. He claims he "doesn't have enough money" to stay for 2 weeks. As I began canceling all the reservations, he called to say he bought a new car and a house. FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted to take me to a movie after days of not seeing me. This long-awaited date involved me paying for food and my movie ticket when he ran out of cash again. He then dumped me as we left the theater walking to his car. Yes, I financed my own breakup date. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I wouldn't be able to get any time off work to go to Mexico with him, and that we'd have to get our tickets refunded, and reschedule. He said not to bother, and that he already had someone else in mind to take with him. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a card for my birthday and told me to open it 10 minutes after he'd gone; I waited for 5. In the card was written, "It's not working out, but here's $20." FML

That really sucks OP, but I have to ask, why did you pay for the whole thing to begin with?? I hope he at least covered a few dinners...

In the future make sure your boyfriend is willing to go half and half.

He could've done it during the vacation and made it really awkward..

Don't act like you didn't enjoy the vacation.

I was in this situation as well, except we broke up just days before our trip to Puerto Rico, and the vacation package was non-refundable. We both went, or I'd have wasted 3K for his half... and I was still paying for everything when we were there. But at least you have good memories to look back on and you're freed up to look for someone better for you! Maybe even someone who will take YOU on vacation!

You are a nicer woman than I could ever be. I would either bring someone else along, and if that wasn't possible (ticket not transferable) I would not pay for anything of his. I would let him scrounge and beg for food or just go hungry.

Apparently, your "Sex On The Beach" was not up to par. It could have been the sand in the ass-crack or too little cranberry juice.

It is not unusual for trouble in a relationship to surface during or after travel together. The hassles of travel and being out My guess is there was trouble in paradise even before you vacationed there. guess is there was trouble in paradise even before you vacationed there. Sorry that happened, OP.
