Today, I organised a romantic day trip for me and my boyfriend to some tropical gardens. I packed lunch and paid for the tickets. He decided to bring a friend, who doesn't speak English. The only thing that he said that I understood was that, "Your girlfriend eats a lot." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I showed up at my boyfriend's work to surprise him by speaking in Spanish, his first language. I've been taking classes secretly. He smiled, kissed me, and then finished telling his friend, in Spanish, that I'm boring and ugly but he's got nothing better going on. FML
Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML
Today, while on a vacation, I tried to step out of myself and flirt with this boy who I thought was cute. He was going along with it and nodding so I thought it was working. Then he opened his mouth and I realized he didn't speak English. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me to dinner. There was a beautifully decorated table with rose petals and a huge bouquet and he told me he had ordered all this for me. I'd never felt so special. That is, until I had to get up for the couple whose table it actually was. FML
Today, I was on a date in a fancy restaurant. I tried to show off my skills by ordering our meal in French, since some of the dishes had french-sounding names. The waiter replied in fluent French and I have no idea what he said. FML
Today, I brought my girlfriend flowers. All she managed to do was to say, "It’s been a year since you brought me flowers." FML
Today, I spent all day preparing a big, elaborate Italian dinner for my boyfriend, who recently discovered he was part Italian. He came home, turned up his nose and said "I was in the mood for Chinese". FML
Today, I planned a romantic dinner with rose petals, the whole lot, for my ex-girlfriend to win her back. When I took her to my house, I told her to guess what I had planned, to which she replied, "I hope it's not a stupid romantic dinner with rose petals and shit." FML
Today, I gathered both mine and my girlfriend's families secretly to a restaurant. I paid the restaurant to play romantic music, and paid for the best table available. As soon as we finished our meal, our families gathered around and I proposed. She laughed and said no way. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend is bringing his friends on our trip. I'm now the third wheel on the romantic trip we've planned for a year. FML

And you allowed the friend to come with you? You should have told your boyfriend to tell his little butt buddy to **** off.

At first I thought it said ****- Ireland. Third wheels suck! Maybe plan better so your boyfriend knows it's a date for two and only two.

Considering you're in Cork, the guy might have actually been speaking English and still been unintelligible...

He probably brought his friend so you'd eat even less. YDI & be happy he didn't bring 5 other friends.

You should have put a stop to his friend coming along in the beginning. I would lose the dummy boyfriend you have if he can't realize that you were trying to be sweet and romantic.

To all the people saying that she shouldn't have let the friend come along-- it's hard to do that when the person is right there. I mean, if he literally showed up with the guy, they probably rode together. Sending the friend away would mean driving him back home, probably getting into a fight with the boyfriend, and (even though it would be completely untrue) coming across like a jerk to the friend, who probably had no idea that this was supposed to be a romantic getaway. Totally (or almost certainly) the boyfriend's fault, and not the fault of the friend. I feel sorry for that guy, as well as OP, as far as the third wheel thing goes. OP, don't listen to anyone saying that YDI. Trust me, I've been in this situation before. I had a boyfriend who did this sort of thing all the time. I would get so mad at him, and he would say it wouldn't happen again... It did. Explain to him that you need a head's up when he is bringing a friend, especially when it is a pre-planned (and obviously meant to be romantic) date like this. I hope this was a one time thing.
