Today, I pretended to not be able to go out with a friend so I could hang with my boyfriend at the movies. When I sat down I received a text that said, "Turn around." It was her. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, an old friend of mine refused to go to a movie with me. Turns out he was sitting in front of me with my girlfriend. FML
Today, I was watching a movie alone, after receiving a text from my boyfriend saying that his grandma was at the hospital, so he couldn't go with me. I caught him on a date with another girl, at the same movie screening that I went to. FML
Today, my best friend called me to cancel our mall plans. I could hear that she was watching a movie in the background. I then called my boyfriend to see if he was busy, and I could hear the same movie in the background. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I went to the cinema. Or rather, she went with her other boyfriend, and I happened to see them there. FML
Today, an old friend of mine texted me, saying we should hang out. I thought it was really sweet and was excited to see her again, until she realized that she was texting the wrong person, and canceled our plans immediately. FML
Today, after I invited my friend to a movie and she cancelled on me because she had to study, I obviously agreed and cancelled our tickets, I was scrolling through Instagram stories and came across hers, and saw she was with one of her friends in that same movie theater. FML
Today, I made plans with an old friend that I haven't seen in years. We agreed to meet at a diner and I told him I'd be standing outside. I watched him pull up, look right at me, then do something with his phone. Seconds later, I got a text saying, "Sorry, but I'm busy today and can't make it." FML
Today, I was going to hang out with the girl I like, because she was leaving for the rest of the Summer. She had to cancel to go shopping with her grandma "all day." At 1 o'clock, she came online and told me how much fun she had with this guy I really don't like. She forgot that she lied to me. FML
Today, I went to the movies with a girl I like, then we went to grab a bite afterwards. She spent most of the time telling me how much she dislikes my best friend because he hooked up with a new girl. I then found out the two had been "talking" for a while. FML
Today, I asked a buddy of mine if he wanted to go see a movie. He said he was busy, so I decided to go alone. Midway through, the couple behind me was making out and kicking my seat. I turned around, and it's my ex-girlfriend making out with my buddy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have a friend that's like that and no one will hang out with him because of it

I don't see what the big deal is. If you told her that you weren't able to go, you were telling the truth. You couldn't go because you had plans with your boyfriend. You shouldn't have to justify yourself.

Exactly. Why would OP have to PRETEND to not be able to hang out with a friend if she had plans with her boyfriend? If you are going to the movies with your boyfriend, you ARE busy and unable to spend time with friends. If OP did make up an excuse that was a lie ("I have to stay at home to work on a project," etc.), that was wrong, sure. But there should have been no reason for her to have done so. Unless the friend is the type who freaks out when someone wants to do something other than hang out with him/her. There are people like that.

Honesty is a good policy, especially if you want to keep your friends. I notice sometimes girls (and maybe guys) will often get caught up in relationships and blow off their friends for their significant others. It's probably not healthy (or sustainable) for any of the people involved. Balance is important.

that's what happens when you choose a bf/gf over a true friend.
