Today, I took my girlfriend of a year out on a date, a nice fancy dinner and a movie. After dinner, I said that I was feeling sick and just wanted to go home. I didn't have the heart to tell her that dinner was so expensive that I didn't have money for the movie. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on a date. I took her out to an expensive steak house. When she was done eating, she got up, said she was married, and told me she only accepted the date because I'd be paying for it. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to a restaurant we both like. By the end of the date, we were fighting and she angrily broke up with me. To make things worse, I got food poisoning. She didn't. FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted to take me to a movie after days of not seeing me. This long-awaited date involved me paying for food and my movie ticket when he ran out of cash again. He then dumped me as we left the theater walking to his car. Yes, I financed my own breakup date. FML
Today, I had a date with a girl I've liked for a while. We went out to a nice Italian restaurant for dinner. I was obviously going to pay, but when the bill came I realized I'd forgotten my wallet. When I told her, she thought I was a cheap liar and now she won't answer my calls. FML
Today, I treated my boyfriend to an expensive dinner using the last of my paycheck. I had to excuse myself to the bathroom a few minutes in. I came back to find my plate empty. His excuse was, "I didn't want the food to get cold." FML
Today, I went on a date. After we finished our meal, I had to use the bathroom really bad. When I said so, my date totally lost it and accused me of planning on climbing out a window and ditching her. "Fuck that and fuck you!" she said, then stormed out, leaving me with the bill. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my crush, who had asked me out on a date. Assuming he'd pay, I left my money at home. When the time came to buy the tickets, he only bought one for himself. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for a romantic dinner, since we can't see each other this Valentine's Day. Halfway through, my aunt called, telling me my grandma had died. I had to leave because I was crying so much, leaving my girlfriend with a very pricey bill. FML
Today, I went to the movies on a date. I went to pay for the tickets when I realized that I didn't have my wallet. Instead of my boyfriend paying, he laughed and paid for his own ticket. Then he went ahead and saw the movie without me. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to eat out at a restaurant. We chatted for an hour, and it all seemed to be going well, until she told me that she wanted to break up. Waiting for the bill and driving her home was the most painful time of my life. FML

#ThugLife We've all been in a similar situation, making up something so you don't have to say that you don't have cash. No hard feels...

I'm sure she appreciated dinner! I'm sorry you couldn't take her out to the movie though, next time set a budget for each event maybe.

Honesty is the way to go. I'm pretty sure she'll understand if you told her the truth. She's your girlfriend, so she obviously cares and loves you and she's not gonna judge you.

You really should have been honest with her. My ex boyfriend lied to me all the time. Lied about still living with his mom, lied about his finances all the time. I tolerated it a couple times but I left him because he wouldn't stop lying about it. I didn't care if he was broke, I did care that he felt the need to lie about it constantly. He actually thought I was so shallow that it mattered. Don't make this a habit.

well maybe since you paid for the expensive dinner, she could have paid for the movie. You're both just trying to have a good time right?

Honesty is the best policy, especially in a relationship.

Have a movie at home? It's not the same but it's not a bad option

After a year of dating this type of truthful conversation shouldn't be a problem. Well unless she's a money grubbing gold digger bitch.

Why would you like about something like money to someone you've been with for a year. In your head, compare the reaction to you telling her that you're broke and you can't afford a movie against the reaction of when she finds out you lied about it. A lot of people read FML these days, after all.

Yes, and his girlfriend is going to find out by an anonymous post with a nickname not real name? Could be anyone who posted it. And a white lie like that isn't going to hurt anyone anyways.

Well, if you've been going out with the guy for nearly a year. And went out for a fancy dinner/movie date lately. And he begged off claiming to be sick. And you live in Illinois. THAT MIGHT BE YOUR ,BOYFRIEND. How many people can that reasonably be? On top of that, it's pretty likely she's seen him reading FML. Or even reading the funnier ones to her out loud. All I can say is if there was that much coincidence with an event in my life popping up on FML, I'd have a conversation with my girlfriend about it.

Sorry, OP- but you should have planned it better. Nowadays all the restaurant menus are online. You should have budgeted for the most expensive thing on the menu. After a year of dating, you shouldn't have to lie, either. Whatever happened to going Dutch? It wasn't like it was your first date! YDI

That's a shame, OP. But hopefully she would have understood if you did tell her, especially since you have been together for a while.
