Today, my boyfriend of two and a half years left me. To clear my head I decided to go for a drive. My car broke down on the way. The only mechanic I have ever used and trusted with my car is my boyfriend. Yes, I had to call him. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house so that he could break up with me. I went out to my car to leave only to discover that all of the wheels had been stolen. Even the spare. I had to spend the rest of the day with my ex-boyfriend finding a way to get my car home. FML
Today, my boyfriend thought it'd be a good idea to break up with me in his car. I had to walk home. FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 4 years, telling him he needed to be more responsible, and stop relying on me for everything. When I told him to leave, he told me he needed some gas money. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I got into an argument. Naturally, I drove over to my best friend's house for comfort. My boyfriend saw me driving past his house and promptly broke up with me for being "a psycho stalker." She lives across the street from him. FML

To be fair, you didn't HAVE to call him, you chose to.

You didn't have to call him, you chose to. Still a shitty situation to be in. Hopefully you can find a new mechanic.

There's no way I would've been able to swallow my pride and do that...I probably would go to the most overcharging mechanic if it came to that or my ex, just so I wouldn't have to go to my ex

You didn't have to call him. It's time to go to another mechanic, try trusting that one. Honestly, I think this FML is more of a YDI than a FYL.

To be fair to OP, mechanics and car dealers have a tendency to take advantage of and overcharge women, so that would probably be why she trusted her boyfriend. So although it WAS a choice, it was still a very uncomfortable one.

True. I don't trust mechanics. Or used car dealers. A few days after I bought my car I found that something was wrong with it. My husband at the time told me that the transmission was ******, so I called the dealer to complain, "Hey! You sold me a car with a bad transmission!" You know what he told me? "Manual cars don't have a transmission."

Oh yeah been there and to make things better he treats me like I don't exist and I'm an auto parts delivery driver and go to his shop many times a day

Uh huh. Car broke down? Yeah, I'll bring my tools. Don't worry, I'll make it all better. I think I've seen this movie before.

well if we've seen the same movie, then the mechanic only ever needs one tool.

There may not be sex this time, but I'll bet he's going to **** you. (Even the best mechanics gotta make a living. ;) )

Well, he can't be that great of a mechanic if your car wasn't maintain enough to go for a simple drive.
