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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my boyfriend is booking my dream vacation to Bali with his brothers, 6 months after he told me we couldn't go on vacation this year because he doesn’t have the money. They planned this within a week. I had been planning it with him for months. FML
Today, I landed in Hawaii for my vacation. I have a really bad ear infection, and to top my day off, my girlfriend blurted out mid-flight that she thinks we're not going to work out. Aloha! FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to break up with me but it had to be after our cruise together because he doesn't want to lose out on money. Can't wait for the Bahamas. 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, 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, on the last day of our vacation with my boyfriend's family, I'm crying alone under a tree because he refuses to talk to me because I got mad he didn't want to do anything with me, but did those same things with his family. He went out of his way to do all the things I wanted to do, but without me. FML
Today, my son got back from his solo holiday in Hawaii. I asked him what he did. Apparently, he sat in his suite for 2 weeks, watching shit on his laptop. He spent thousands of pounds, flew thousands of miles to one of the nicest islands in the world, all to stay in his room. He could have done that here. FML
Today, I got back from a romantic vacation at a fancy hotel with my boyfriend of 6 months. After a steamy love session, I confessed that I was in love with him. Later, when I got out of the shower, all his stuff was gone and I was stuck with the entire week's hotel cost and no ride home. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend can't swim and we are about to go on a romantic holiday to Zanzibar where all our excursions include water-based activities. His solution is that I just go do them all by myself. FML
Today, it's the first day of my Hawaiian honeymoon. We found out that the pool is under construction and our room is infested with roaches. We are paying $375 a night for this. FML

You've been together over a year and you didn't know that he hates the outdoors? I gotta say YDI.

He seems like a jerk...any normal person would at least try to enjoy themselves when the significant other put in that much effort. Sorry, that sucks! On the upside you are in Hawaii!

You should've asked him first. I'm surprised you didn't know this after a year of dating. I've only been with my boyfriend 9 months and I'm aware if he would enjoy Hawaii or not. Then again, certain things just don't come up. I didn't mention half of my allergies until I encountered them lol. Still, he's kind of an asshole for not showing any appreciation. He could make the damn effort to try and enjoy himself. My brother is the same way. Whenever we go on vacation, he just gets all pissy and stays in the hotel room the whole time. Since he's a minor, he can't stay by himself so someone has to sacrifice their fun to stay with him. I can't stand when he does that (or when it's my turn. I love going out).

Tell him you're going to to have a good time despite his grumpiness and cheat on his ass on the patio if your room has one. Then he'll really hates the outdoors.

The ONLY way this is an FML is if you don't have the balls to go enjoy paradise without his sorry butt. I HATE the outdoors, but when my husband surprised me with a week in Hawaii last summer, I was in bliss. Hawaii doesn't qualify as "regular" outside. if you're on Honolulu, go to the beaches on the north shore. You'll never regret it. I have pictures of that place that would bring tears to your eyes. Here's to you enjoying yourself!

Number 36, that was awesome. ha!!!! Oh, by the way, OP, next time you decide to spend 4 grand, make sure it's on someone who deserves it. Also, if you did this to hold on to a dying relationship, then YDI. Don't ever let anyone think they mean enough to you to bribe them into staying.

a) YDI for not knowing he doesn't like the outdoors after going out with him for a year. Did you not interact for those 12 months? b) FYL for dating such an unappreciative dick. If my girlfriend spent $4000 on me, even if I hated it I wouldn't sulk around like a bitchy three year old. Tell him to grow a pair of balls for me
