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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

He sounds like an ass, but it also sounds like you need to communicate more if you didn't know he hates the outdoors.

I would break up with someone for being so frivolous with money. YDI.

Sounds like it is time for a new boyfriend.

You've been together for a year yet you didn't know that a trip to Hawaii would not make him happy. Hrm.... I guess you don't know him all that well after all.

It's time for a new boyfriend. Anyone who considers Hawaii a miserable experience in the "outdoors" is a whiny, prissy tool. And to all the people saying "you deserved it because you have been with him for a year and should have known", you people are wrong. If you have been dating for a year, you may have never vacationed together before. Who really asks their boyfriend, "You wouldn't hate a vacation in Hawaii, would you?" Give me a *&@#$@% break.

He might not be happy with the vacation, but he should appreciate the gesture and try his hardest to at least make sure you have a good time even if he's not having the time of his life. Plus making you happy should make him somewhat happy :-P #39 - are you her bf? seriously? no one should be that ungrateful! Sure she probably should have known after a year that her bf wasn't a big outdoors person, but that's no reason to act like a spoilt tween and think that everything is about themselves and not take another persons happiness into account. I hope the holiday gets better and even if the bf is completely miserable the whole time that you make some friends with people there and have fun anyway! (for that much money it better be damn fun!)

In the OP's defense, When someone says outdoors, I would definitely not consider Hawaii outdoors. "Outdoors" means trees and rocks and dirt. Perhaps that's what she thought he meant by outdoors, because I'd probably still go to Hawaii with my boyfriend if he said he wasn't the outdoorsy type. On top of that, what a miserable jerk. All I can picture is a pale guy sitting in a corner with the curtain closed and AC blasting with a scowl on his face. People do things They don't like for the people they love. My boyfriend HATED prom when I took him but he plastered a smile on his face for me. This guy is a complete FAILURE at showing the OP that he cares. Even if he told the OP that he didn't want to go and the OP took him anyway, It was only out of good intentions, hoping he'd love Hawaii when he got there. But the stupid boyfriend isn't even giving Hawaii a chance. Way to be a bum.

I'd be mad if my partner spent 4 grand on a trip to Hawaii. I'm on medication that makes me photo sensitive, namely bright sunlight hurts my skin. Besides, we have bills to pay and spending $4,000 on a trip I'd enjoy less than a $400 trip to Chicago would definitely make me unhappy.
