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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to break up with me but it had to be after our cruise together because he doesn't want to lose out on money. Can't wait for the Bahamas. FML
Today, after working another double shift because I want to buy my boyfriend a really expensive anniversary present, I get to his apartment to find him calculating in how many paychecks he'll be able to afford a Caribbean getaway. For himself. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he wants to break up. But not until after our anniversary tomorrow, because he's already gotten dinner reservations for us. FML
Today, the guy I've fallen for and have been dating on and off for 2 years told me that he kept contacting me to re-connect because he missed hanging out with me, but didn't actually have any feelings for me. I already paid for a non-refundable weekend away as his Christmas present for us both. FML
Today, I got a phone call from my boyfriend breaking things off with me. He waited until the day after Christmas because he wanted all his presents. And he got me nothing. FML
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, 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 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 gave me a card for my birthday and told me to open it 10 minutes after he'd gone; I waited for 5. In the card was written, "It's not working out, but here's $20." FML

Why would you pay for the trip? I believe it is HIS lazy-ass' job to work, provide for the family (even if just starting), and pay for trips and what not. Just because he didn't offer to pay for the trip you should've used that line on him...

Hi, and welcome to the 20th century. Your remark is just as sexist, they can both pay an equal share.

How are you even using the internet from 1950?

How about the new and exiting idea that BOTH pay for their respective part of the bill. Go back to the 1950. I agree.

Yep, got the same from the GF. Went on two trips (to Las Vegas and then to Wine Country about 8k total) and she gave me the,"I think there are better people than me out there for you...." Joy.

The funny thing is the amount of FMLs who narrate the same thing happening just BEFORE leaving on some expensive trip :)

I'm sure you would have posted of how dick he is if he broke up with you before the trip, at least he wanted you to enjoy it, you asshat

Well, you got the memories from the trip, so half of the money you spent on yourself. For the other half talk about repayment plan. I am curious, what would have been your reaction if he said it right before the trip? Unless you had a back-up bf :)

When's a better time though? I've broke up with a guy once after a vacation - because I was upset about how he acted on that vacation.

I see this all the time and I'm left wondering why you women are paying for everything. That's your first red flag. If a man allows you to do that he's not worth your time. ydi
