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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I told a guy that I only see him as a friend. He ordered separate checks because, “I’m not giving boyfriend benefits to a girl who won’t make me one.” I hadn’t brought my card because he always pays for my meal. The restaurant held my phone as collateral until I Ubered 10 miles away to get my 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

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."

So it was tour treat to him. I guess he wanted to go to such costly restaurant and was not having the card.

Really? You felt the need to bring racism into a discussion that had nothing to do with race? Pathetic.

I seriously don't mind paying for my own food (unless he insists). But that is going WAY too far. Theft and jackassery.

Does it matter who pays? All that matters is you had a nice anniversary dinner. Please do not tell me you ruined the evening by arguing over this.

Yea because stealing her credit card and charging a large bill to it is totally alright and acceptable behaviour. It's not the fact that she ended up paying, it's that he STOLE her credit card. If you're alright with your partners stealing from you, you need to grow a backbone.

The problem is not that she ended up paying for it. It's the fact that he stole her credit card. HER credit card. This wasn't a married couple who used a joint account to pay for their joint anniversary. He stole her credit card and fraudulently used it. This happened to me with the "man"I was engaged to and it was an absolute deal breaker.

It's not who pays, it's about him lying and being deceitful. And charging money on her card without her being aware of it at the time.

What a total loser!! Kick the person to the curb no, telling what the thief will snack from you less.
