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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after having worked two jobs for months to save up for a big vacation, I came home to find my hard-earned money replaced by my boyfriend's brand new motorcycle. FML
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
Today, I found out that the money my boyfriend has "secretly" been putting away for the last two months is not for an engagement ring like I'd thought, but for a trip to Vegas I'm not invited to. FML
Today, it was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. We had dinner reservations to an expensive restaurant and planned to see a movie after. At least, we did, until he called to tell me he'd volunteered to work tonight. He won't get off until 2am. FML
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 fiancée bought me a luxury getaway to the Maldives, complete with a five-star hotel and first-class plane tickets. Too bad she used my credit card, with all the money I was saving for our wedding. FML
Today, I was going to surprise my boyfriend at his family birthday celebration with a $2,000 trip he's always wanted, Ireland. Right before my gift, he had opened his mother's gift, an envelope containing a plane ticket. Guess where it was going? FML
Today, my boyfriend and I are looking at places to stay to meet for the first time. I figured renting a small vacation apartment would be ideal because he's not able to help pay because he isn't working and I'm not rich. He's telling me he can only be comfortable in 4 star hotels. 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, I'm on vacation. I spent $4000 to surprise my boyfriend on a trip to Hawaii. We have been together over a year. Turns out, he hates the outdoors. He's mad at me for bringing him here and is upset at everything. He's in the room reading, I'm at the bar drinking $10 Mai Tai's. FML

Eh... 1. Why spend so much on an anniversary present that you have to work double shifts to buy? Choose something meaningful within your price range. 2. So what if he wants a getaway by himself? Just because you're a couple doesn't mean you have to do everything together. Let him have some alone time. 3. It might possibly be a cover-up for his gift. If he wants to surprise you, I think that's a good way. Don't automatically think he's being an ass.

I can't call you selfish seeing as how you were working hard to get him a gift, but it does seem like you think you should be included in whatever he's included in. GUYS DON'T LIKE THAT. I might understand if you were married but he's just a bf. The "getaway" he was planning was probably from you.

Excuse you Op. But why does he have to take you on his vacation. Maybe he wants a break from everyone? I go places without my family and significant other--its called personal time. Maybe he wants to actually explore, do some hiking, something that doesn't involve being totally into the other person. If you are going to go someplace to "be in love" and bond, and have sex, do you really need to do it at the beach? Also I thought buying a present for someone was because you wanted them to be happy? You shouldn't even have wanted a present.

But maybe she could afford to pay for herself if only he'd asked her if she wanted to go*rolleyes* she never said she expected him to pay for it, she was just bummed because he doesn't even want to take her.
