Today, my boyfriend told me he needed to reconsider coming to see me for financial reasons. I'm the one paying for the airfare, giving him a place to stay, and covering his expenses while he's here. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my long-distance British boyfriend of 7 years canceled his plane ticket to visit me in the USA. He claims he "doesn't have enough money" to stay for 2 weeks. As I began canceling all the reservations, he called to say he bought a new car and a house. FML
Today, I spent 900 dollars on a ticket for my boyfriend to visit me and he missed the flight. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me an ultimatum: either cancel my amazing work trip or stay with him. I chose the trip and he assured me he’d be gone by the time I got back. His issue? My boss thought it’d be cheaper to get an AirBnB instead of getting us all hotel rooms, and that men are also going. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I wouldn't be able to get any time off work to go to Mexico with him, and that we'd have to get our tickets refunded, and reschedule. He said not to bother, and that he already had someone else in mind to take with him. 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 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, my boyfriend and I are looking at places to stay to meet for the first time. I figured renting a small vacation apartment would be ideal because he's not able to help pay because he isn't working and I'm not rich. He's telling me he can only be comfortable in 4 star hotels. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to visit me at work. With another girl. FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted me to sleep over at his house. Then he found out that it was that time of the month for me, so he told me that he had to work this weekend and said "see you sometime next week." He doesn't have a job. FML
Today, my boyfriend came home from a two week vacation and told me I needed to move out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tell him he needs better excuses [: Look on the bright side, MAYBE he feels bad for you, because you pay everything and wants a girl where he can be able to pay also. Or maybe he is just a gold digger. Good Luck though xD

Why don't you write a FML when it really matters, like when you develop beaten wives syndrome from this guy. Whine some more why don't you.

If he has a job, then maybe his boss decided against giving him the time off and now he might loose his job if he goes to visit you?

he really needs to make better excuses if that's the case. otherwise, I'd say it's a subtle hint that he's no longer into you.

I'm with 21 and 23. It's not worth it if one person in the relationship pays for everything, whether it's the male or the female. Get rid of him. He's a jackass.

#75 - Olmec: *just noticed your comment on the other FML as well* Dude, this is the wrong site to come to if you hate people complaining. Seriously. OP: That blows. I hope you haven't paid for everything yet, and if so, I hope you get refunds.

You know, it can be embarrassing and uncomfortable to admit that you can't afford to do things like come and visit a loved one, and pride can be really bruised. Aside from his potential discomfort in allowing you to spend all that money on him, maybe he just has to think about how he'll pay for rent or fuel or food if he takes the time off to visit you. Also, I'm appalled by all the money-grabbing assholes on this site who think someone's financial status should be reason enough to dump them, or worse, date them. As long as there's no intentional freeloading going on, a person is much more important than how much money they have to spend on you.

I'd probably behave like that too, but the reason would actually be because I wouldn't want to take advantage of my girlfriend..

Are you also the one paying his salary while he visits you?

you shouldn't be paying for him to begin with.
