Today, I was walking to the movie theatre with my boyfriend, when three guys muscled over and told us to hand over our phones. My boyfriend didn't waste any time pushing past me and running like hell, leaving me in tears and almost having a panic attack. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was walking home with my boyfriend, when a guy pulled a knife and told us to hand over our money. My boyfriend blurted "I don't have shit, dude! She has tons of cash!" The moment the mugger turned to me, my boyfriend ran away at top speed. FML
Today, I was at the movies with my boyfriend, when I had to go pee. Halfway down the aisle, I tripped, screamed, and fell face-first into some guy. My boyfriend is now accusing me of cheating and "flirting" with every man I see. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my boyfriend. We went inside the theatre and he saw a couple of his friends. Instead of saying hi and coming back to watch the movie with me, he ditched me for them. When I reminded him he was forgetting something, he grabbed the popcorn out of my hands and left. FML
Today, while on my way to the movies, I stopped at a gas station to pick up candy so I could avoid the high prices at the movies. The guy who tore my ticket asked for my purse, confiscated my candy, and then kicked me out of the movie theater. That guy was my boyfriend. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend we should avoid the local walking trail after I got followed by a homeless man. He assured me we’d be fine and the guy wouldn’t approach me as long as I had a man with me. Wrong. We both got beat up and robbed by said homeless man. FML
Today, my boyfriend and our so-called “friends” left us stranded at a park, when our phones and wallets were also missing. I had to walk nearly four miles in tears before I eventually got a ride from a stranger. Luckily, my phone was returned to my mom, but I’m still in tears from the distress. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were taking a stroll when I was mugged at knife point. My boyfriend did nothing and just stood there while the mugger took my purse and cellphone. His reason? The other day, I'd "disrespected" him by “texting another guy.” I’d texted the guy, “Happy birthday.” FML
Today, I was at the movies with my boyfriend when I really had to pee. I tried to get out of the aisle in a hurry so I wouldn't disturb anyone when I tripped, landing on the people in the row in front of me. FML
Today, I got mugged. As the guys who took my purse were about to walk away, my cellphone rang in my pocket. FML
Today, I went to see Paranormal Activity 2 with my boyfriend. In hopes of him putting his arm around me or holding my hand, I told him that I was very scared and pretended to cry a little. He told me to be quiet because I was ruining the movie for him. Then he moved seats. FML

Aww dude that's horrible. First off dump your bf, and second, all the people who said you deserve it are ass holes.

Having a boyfriend who is a man would also have been useful.

The lack of chivalry these times...

Point taken, still a lack of it though since there aren't many knights out there today. :D

"chivalry" - "courteous behavior, especially towards women" Source: dictionary.reference.com Sry for the double posts.

I would fight to my death to protect my girlfriend , but maybe that's because I was raised to always treat women with respect and it's in the Cowboy code . Hopefully your boyfriend is now an exboyfriend.

I hoped you wished up and dumped him. Hopefully, you have phone insurance so that loss can easily be recouped! Me I would put it out on all social media what a coward he was!!

I'm a bit torn between not voting on this, and putting YDI for not having the street smarts to call out that you were being mugged. It isn't that hard to try and distract someone before running to safety and in today's world there are times when it can be necessary, with the majority of society turning out to be comprised of assholes and everything. And to everyone telling OP to dump her boyfriend for 'not being a man', how about you try finding an average guy willing to take on three (possibly armed) muggers? Is your phone REALLY more valuable than your life? We men aren't the superheroes you keep expecting us to be. We're human beings.

As a woman, I don't expect men to be superheroes. I certainly wouldn't expect my boyfriend to fight three thugs for me. I hope we'd just hand over the phones and BOTH of us would stick around to make sure the other was safe. To push passed someone you care about to save yourself, leaving them there, is an issue about character and selfishness, not about masculinity. By the same token, I would have very little sympathy if the woman ran off to leave her boyfriend to take on three (possibly armed) muggers alone, just to save her own skin. If I did that, I would have a hard time sleeping at night knowing that was the kind of person I was.

I am sure he was thinking, "Run Bitch Run!!!" Next time, you will. Or, you'll at least think to trip has ass. In this situation, it's clearly every man for himself!!
