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

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, I got home from visiting my long-distance girlfriend. I spent $366 to get a plane ticket to visit her for the week. The day after I arrived there, she broke up with me and I had to buy a ticket for an earlier flight home. With fees and penalties, I paid around $550 to be broken up with. 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, 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, 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, the guy I have been seeing left town to visit his family for three weeks. A few hours later, he called me from the airport to say he is never coming back. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend is booking my dream vacation to Bali with his brothers, 6 months after he told me we couldn't go on vacation this year because he doesn’t have the money. They planned this within a week. I had been planning it with him for months. FML
Today, after changing his mind 3 times, my long distance fiancé told me he wasn't coming to see me for Thanksgiving. Out of anger, I threw his clothes, car magazines, and whatever else I could find in a huge, messy pile. During this, he walked into the room. He was going to surprise me. FML
Today, while on vacation, I found out that my boyfriend moved out. He had claimed that he couldn't come with me because his boss messed up his time off request, and for the last two days he said he'd been "cleaning". FML

You can see his priorities. You are not one of them. Your call if you want to keep up the illusion.

I have British relatives, so I've learned that the word you need to call your boyfriend is "wanker". And then you dump him.

Was going to suggest “tosser” but yes wanker is better

Call him to say you have a new bf and move on. I have FB friends who are more committed than this guy is to you.

He's not your real-life boyfriend, he's only your imaginary boyfriend. Dump this illusion and look for a real man.

Seems he may have forgotten a possible wife in that mix...

Wow but sorry your daft to the fact you are his American side chick and he probably has a wife because in most European countries it's traditional to buy a new car and house with the wedding gifts after getting married 🤔😕

You know, after 7 years he might be getting the new stuff because he's planning to marry you and get you to come live in England with him.

Did you pay for the ticket, or did he? I hope for your sake that he did... Also, who stays in a bf/gf relationship, especially one long-distance, for that long? How do you know that he doesn’t have a side chick?

That's not a long distance relationship, that's an international safety hook up.
