Today, after having loaned my girlfriend money after she claimed to be broke and unable to pay her rent and electricity bills, she went out, spent it all on a new purse and phone, and now refuses to pay me back. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I called my ex-girlfriend to see if she would meet up with me so I could give her money to pay off the rest of the TV we had on layaway before we broke up. Turns out she cancelled it and took all the money I put into it. I put $500 down. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend of almost 6 years has put me in debt over $33,000. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend has been paying her half of the rent by taking my ATM card and getting money from my account. FML
Today, I discovered that the five-star meal that my friend treated me to last night was actually meant to be repayment of the $200 I loaned her last month. I needed that money for bills and she refuses to give me another cent. FML
Today, my friend won’t pay me back the money I lent her. I stupidly lent her $1200. She’s calling me an “inconsiderate bitch” because I “have a good paying job, I’ll be alright.” FML
Today, my mom decided to go against every promise she's made to everyone once again and left us in financial ruin. How? She took advantage of my kindness, and didn't pay any of the money she owes me for driving my car, and for so much more. I'm more than $2,000 in debt now. FML
Today, my ex got arrested for stealing. His new girlfriend texted me asking if I could lend her money to bail him out. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 8 months and I broke up. We decided to give back everything we ever bought for each other. I gave her the stuff she bought me and when I asked for my stuff she said she'd sold it and spent the money on herself. FML
Today, my mom stole my holiday money because she found it “near her bag” in my kitchen and “assumed it was hers” and she must have “forgotten it was in there all this time.” I demanded it back, but she’d already spent it on hair, nails, shoes, and a date night with dad. She won’t pay me back either. FML
Today, my mother woke me up and asked to borrow money. Still groggy, I mumbled where my money stash was. She took all $300 and refuses to pay me back because I'm her son and I "owe" her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, she can keep all her stuff in her purse and text you whining until her battery dies while she's living on the street.

Well she should pay you back. If not break up with her or sue her. You can sue for that. Good luck OP !

omg sue sue yes sue murica hell yeah sue her no, but really. now she's gonna get kicked out for being stupid. after such happens, I'd break up with her.

1: Breaking up with her is good advice, especially if she's irresponsible with money and willing to lie to the OP about it. That's bad news for any future relationship with her.

If it was his money can't he just take the purse and phones cause he paid for it.

No lawyer in their right mind would take on a case like this. Lawyer: What can I do for you? OP: I want to sue my girlfriend for stealing my money. Lawyer: So, did she break into your home and take it? Commit check or bank fraud? Identity theft? OP: No, I gave it to her for bills, and the bitch used it for recreational purposes. Lawyer: .... GTFO.

34- I'm fairly certain if nothing was actually signed, the courts won't consider it an actual "loan". It would be a he-said, she-said battle. Also... TV is TV. It doesn't always translate to real life.

I've watched an episode of Judge Judy and she went insane when she found out no one had signed a contract, and no one had made receipts of payments.

Kleekay is right, If there is no contract, it is NOT a loan. Without one, there is no proof that the money was ever given to the gf. And to sue, it would take months of court dates etc, a small fortune in legal bills and in this instance, next to a 0% chance of success. Even if she admitted to not using the money for it's intended purpose, without a contract stating she MUST use it for bills and MUST pay it back to OP with the gf's signature at the bottom she is not breaking the law. OP gave her the money willingly and was not forced to In any way shape or form. It would be like suing a hobo because you gave him money for food and he spent it on booze. Americans and their suing.....

I hate to break it to all you guys, but court shows are real just like unicorns an leprechauns

You know, a lawsuit sounds like a little too much... Just siphon the gas out of her car.

@71 - Yes, Americans just sue the shit out of people for no reason whatsoever. Like people welching on their personal debts. That's totally not a reason to sue. Also, for claims less than a few thousand dollars, it's pretty typical to not retain counsel. The law behind almost all transactions involving such a small amount of money is pretty straightforward and intuitive. As such, legal fees are not nearly as much as they would be for any sort of criminal case or complex fraud case. Anyway, if I were in this situation, I probably wouldn't sue or break up with her. I'd refrain from any and all financial dealings with her until I got paid back, of course, but mostly I would just be patient and see what happens.

All the comments can be summarized into a song that goes "My friend has a girl friend and he hates that bitch, he tells me every day. She wants more dinero just to stay at home, well my friend, ya gotta say... I won't pay, I won't ..."

LOL AT THE PEOPLE WATCHING JUDGE JUDY. You actually think it compares to real life?

She's your gf that's what your supposed to do...

You don't need a written contract for it to be valid. Oral contracts can hold up in court.

Plus, if you watch that many court shows, you need to get a life....

Agreed! Great song too.

Bitch must learn to be disciplined with her finances, specially when it's with someone else's money. Dump her!
TheDrifter 24
She might be disciplined with her own money. I'll bet she can make rent now that OP provided that grand she needed for a new bag and phone.
bestnameright 14
Nah he shouldn't dump her! Like perdix recently said "For some couples, fighting is foreplay." Lol

Well, she can keep all her stuff in her purse and text you whining until her battery dies while she's living on the street.

Simple, take the purse and phone.
saksxalmo 20
As far as I'm concerned, that's basically stealing. You agreed to give her money under certain conditions. That is, unless you gave her the money first and suggested she spend it wisely afterward...
goose12321 11
I think that's kinda why OP's pissed....
LemonandLime 13
Actually from watching judge judy the op can't do that. If you give someone a loan and they don't spend it on what you wanted them to its not your concern so long as they pay you back.
skyyylines 22
#118 that's the point of the fml... she won't pay him back.

I'd say its quite safe to assume your girlfriend won't be getting any more loans from you.

Yes, money does ruin relationships. It's best never to lend money. Something similar to this happen to my mother. Her so called 'friend' stopped talking to her, ignores her calls will not answer her door when clearly she's there.. It's terrible how there are people who value money over friendships

Do not marry this woman. She will bleed you dry your whole life. My mother has a shopping addiction and I've heard this spiel time and time again. Even 20 years after my parents divorced she still hounds him for money for rent etc.. and spends it on shoes and pillows and pictures.
