Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. After dessert, he went to the bathroom so I quickly called the waiter over and paid the bill, thinking it was a nice gesture. When he returned, he broke up with me for "emasculating" him. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me out to dinner, which we never do. While at the restaurant he gets down on his knees, looks me in the eyes, and pulls out a little box. He opens it and inside is a note that says 'We're Done.' He then leaves me at the restaurant with the bill and the $2.00 box. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy who seemed to be quite the gentleman. I was proven wrong when he told me to "shut it" during dinner, stiffed me on the bill, and then left me at the restaurant so he could get his own taxi home. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me to dinner. As we waited for our food he took my hand and said, "I think we should break up." When I got outside, my tire was flat. 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, after dating a guy for 2 months, things seemed to be going well. I offered to buy dinner and trusted he would keep in mind that I'm a college student on a budget. He picked the restaurant, ran up the bill over $100, made me pay, and dumped me right after. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were out to dinner. She had to use the bathroom, so she went, but the food came while she was in there. She came out, yelling at me for ordering the food to come that exact time, then she broke up with me. FML
Today, my fiance's divorce was finalized and we went out to dinner to celebrate. I stepped away to use the bathroom, then came back to a note on the table saying, "I'm going to enjoy single life, thanks!" He left me with the bill. FML
Today, I went on a dinner date with the guy I like. He ate all his food then started eating off my plate, going on to eat over half of my food. When the bill came, he made me pay for it. FML
Today, I went on a date at a restaurant with a guy. When he promised I wouldn't have to pay the bill, I didn't think he meant we'd be dining and dashing. FML

Maybe I'm just a cheap ass but whenever someone pays for my food, I'm happy.

dude, you're better off. the guy obviously has problems with his masculinity. he probably thinks you're inferior to him, too. there is nothing good about going out of your way to adhere to gender roles, especially to the point of feeling EMASCULATED when a woman does something for herself. the entire idea of chivalry is based on the notion that women are stupid and weak and need men to help them.

He may have just used that as a excuse to blame you when he was planning on breaking up anyway. Wouldn't beat yourself up over it...or him.

Why is his masculinity so tied to money? I think you should follow his instinct on this one and agree that you two are a bad match. you don't need that caveman stuff.

Well, that's quite bizarre to have a man act out that way over you wanting to pay. Most men from where I'm from would adore that sort of gesture. I can't say I've ever met a man who would ever object to a woman paying. Either way, sorry he was such a dick op. you def deserve better!

Gender has jack to do with who pays and if he freaks out about it like that who knows what other sexist ideas he has.

He should be happy you paid. He needs to turn his ego down a notch.
