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

Did you ever consider the problems might have grown on the holiday? Alot of couples find out they're wromg for each other on holiday, I know I did.

Everyone making asumptions.. The guy could have thought of the vacation as a last chance for her.. And she blev it? Maybe she is a horrible gf?

You are better off than some of these poor women on this site, whose SO's made their considerate announcements on the first day of expensive vacations. Better luck next time, OP. You've earned it.

Not a week ago there was a post where the OP got dumped during a trip and the consensus seemed to be the guy should have waited until after the trip so as not to ruin it for both of them. Well, this guy did. And he's still getting bashed.

I think the main problem is that she paid entirely for the trip. Him breaking up with her just after they got home seems a little ungrateful. But at least he didn't leave her during the trip.

my most recent ex waited a week after his birthday to dump me, after I bought him a PlayStation 4 and two brand new games.... I know how you feel!!

Is the playstation 4 out yet? If you preordered it, maybe you can cancel it.
