Today, I gave my boyfriend our festival tickets to keep hold of while I excitedly went home to get ready. He took someone else. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my boyfriend I wouldn't be able to get any time off work to go to Mexico with him, and that we'd have to get our tickets refunded, and reschedule. He said not to bother, and that he already had someone else in mind to take with him. FML
Today, I bought my boyfriend two concert tickets (of our favorite band) for his birthday. I was expecting him to bring me since I gave them to him and I like the band too. He said, "Sweet, thanks, I'll call my friend now and see if he wants to go. Think you could give us a ride?" FML
Today, I bought my boyfriend two concert tickets for his birthday to see our favorite band, and he told me he doesn't feel he loves me. FML
Today, I bought tickets for my friends and me to go to a concert. While I was in the shower, they ditched me and took my girlfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to visit me at work. With another girl. FML
Today, I was gonna take my ex to a concert, but we broke up before it so instead I went with my Tinder date. When I got to the venue, my ticket was already used. My ex was in there. My date never got in. FML
Today, my boyfriend stood me up. At dinner with his parents. FML
Today, I spent hundreds of pounds buying my best friend concert tickets to see our favourite band, complete with a meet and greet. I drove over very excited to pick her up to take her. She had already left. With her boyfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me Kings of Leon tickets for my birthday. Since he thought I was irresponsible, he gave the tickets to his mum so I wouldn't lose them. The show is today, and we can't find the tickets. FML
Today, my boyfriend took a day off from work because he felt "sick". I thought he might come see me since he hadn't come over in a while. Nope, he went to hang out with his ex instead. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Perhaps a revenge move is in order. Get tickets to a game, tell him about it excitedly, get him all excited, then take someone else.

Yep, just as I expected. Did the OP even tell the bf the tickets were for him and herself? He could have thought they were a gift. Ah, so many people quick to blame the guy without giving the scenario a second thought. Not surprised..

I'm not really into payback though, it's all so petty. A good conversation, ending in a break up if he doesn't wise up seems good enough.

19- Just reread the FML. This wouldn't be an FML if she hadn't, plus you don't just hand random tickets to your partner and say "hold on, wait for me to get ready for this festival with you' without him knowing what it is and who it is with. The implausibility of your suggestion and the principle of Occam's Razor indicates that there was planning involved prior to the event and that he should know that it was for her and him, especially since she handed him the tickets FOR her to get ready WITH him. So quick to play devil's advocate.

what 19 was saying is that maybe she didn't tell him the tickets were for each other. you said it wouldn't be on fml if she didn't say that, which doesn't make sense.
Pleonasm 36
So she just hands him random tickets for no apparent reason and leaves to get ready for some event that he has no clue about (even though she must have told him why she was leaving...), and he then deduces that this is some sort of awesome gift meant to be used for him and some totally different person than his partner. Of course, why hadn't I thought of that.

Implications= assumptions and we all know the saying about assumptions.

This should read: Today my newly ex boyfriend
Flowtastic 16
39 - you mean the assumption that she hadn't told him what the tickets were for? Or the assumption that she had... Either assumption or implication, it's being done on both sides of this argument. Personally I'd rather go with the obvious and likely...

Dump him
kristabelli 19
Pleo I totally agree with you on payback. It doesn't help anything. I do think this could still be on FML even if it had been a misunderstanding - certainly some FMLs are slightly skewed or even completely false, just to be entertaining. (Which they are!) Having said that, the guy's an idiot either way. Daft or a jerk, take your pick.

Time to dump some ass!

Ahhhh FML; the only place hypocritical enough to thumb down one correction only to thumb up another only two posts later

#10 Sorry, I should have spell checked it better.

44-perhaps 34 was confused by the correction and therefore was lost WITH it.

Panda he capitalized You, nothing worse than an incorrect correction.

Why don't you go find someone else and surprise him there?

He had her ticket too..
drjohnnyboy 15
He means that she should buy another ticket and go with another guy to suprise him.
ApollosMyth 22
I wouldn't waste money just for a vendetta.
PrimeRuler 2
Before people say FYL, did you let him know that you were planning to go with him? Otherwise, he would think it was a gift and can't be blamed for taking someone else.
Blue_Black_fml 21
I can safely assume that the boyfriend knew that OP "excitedly went home to get ready" for the festival. So he's quite simply a douche..
Drifting 21
Sorry about your tickets, but your better off without him.

Make him pay you back with his life

Well that escalated quickly haha

I'm a bit disturbed you didn't write "ex-boyfriend". Kick his butt to the curb.
effiestonem154 11
You dumped him, right? You deserve better.
JessicaZado 11
What a jerk. Next time you should hold on to the tickets!
HeartForMusic 23
Hopefully there won't be a next time for her and that jerk.
drjohnnyboy 15
Nah. She let him hold the tickets, and now she can see how much if a jerk he is. Now she knows that he should get rid of him ASAP
Metallica36176 16
Exactly what I was thinking. Why the hell did she give him the tickets considering she already had them? He's an ass, yes get rid of him but its a FYL and YDI at the same time.
KVKdragon 26
Pretty sure there's a reasonable expectation of temporary ownership on those tickets even if she let the boyfriend hold it. She still had a say on who those tickets would be used for, which should have been the OP and her (now ex) bf. The bf is a complete utter douchebag as well Parent: "Oh, thanks for babysitting my child. I had a work emergency this evening. I can take him home now" Babysitting Friend: "He's not here. I put him up for adoption just so I could have some free time for my date at a festival"
