Today, I was walking home with my boyfriend, when a guy pulled a knife and told us to hand over our money. My boyfriend blurted "I don't have shit, dude! She has tons of cash!" The moment the mugger turned to me, my boyfriend ran away at top speed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was walking to the movie theatre with my boyfriend, when three guys muscled over and told us to hand over our phones. My boyfriend didn't waste any time pushing past me and running like hell, leaving me in tears and almost having a panic attack. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were taking a stroll when I was mugged at knife point. My boyfriend did nothing and just stood there while the mugger took my purse and cellphone. His reason? The other day, I'd "disrespected" him by “texting another guy.” I’d texted the guy, “Happy birthday.” FML
Today, someone tried to mug me. I panicked and ran. As they chased me with their knife out, I heard a slip and a shout behind me but kept running. Six blocks later I was spotted, arrested, and held for questioning by the police. The mugger fell, stabbed themselves, and told a cop that I did it. FML
Today, I went on a trip to Cleveland. After getting lunch, my brother and I started walking back to my car. Halfway there, we were jumped, threatened with a knife, and yelled at to hand over our money. The only thing my brother could do was ask our mugger, "Uh, what gender are you?" FML
Today, my girlfriend asked me to hold her purse while shopping. All of a sudden, a robber punched me in the face and took her purse. She started crying about her purse and told me to get off the ground because I was embarrassing her. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend we should avoid the local walking trail after I got followed by a homeless man. He assured me we’d be fine and the guy wouldn’t approach me as long as I had a man with me. Wrong. We both got beat up and robbed by said homeless man. FML
Today, a total stranger asked me to marry him while we were waiting for the bus. I turned him down. He then pulled a knife on me, grabbed my purse and ran. FML
Today, I was walking down the street in the dark, and the woman in front of me kept looking back nervously. I jokingly assured her that I wasn't a mugger. She then took out a knife and mugged me. FML
Today, on the way home, a guy yelled "Hey, YOU!" from behind me, so I walked faster. He ran up to me, shouting, "I said stop, asshole!" I almost pissed myself in fear, thinking I was being mugged. Turns out I'd left my wallet at the grocery store, and he was just trying to return it. FML
Today, while I was walking home from work, it started to rain. Clutching my bag in one hand, I started to run so I wouldn't get too wet. I saw a man running towards me and all of a sudden he tackled me to the ground. He thought I had stolen someone's handbag. FML

OysterPearls 33
And this is one of those few instances where that comment is actually valid. How could he put you in danger like that?
mwali02 32
Please include the details of the breakup in your follow up. What a jerk. So glad you made it out okay. As for the crook, how did that go? Karma won't be good to him.
ExtremeEncounter 32
Now how would the situation fair if it was the GIRL who ran away...?
Mynamewontfi 40
#77 Are you trying to make it a sexist thing? It's not okay to run away in this situation either way, gender doesn't matter.
vikky538 29
Its not fair who ever does that.
redstone7693 29
And now, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the most overused FML comment of all time.
ExtremeEncounter 32
Lol #82 do you really believe people would act the same had it been the girl running?
TheShreJ 2
Amen #103. It is a sexist thing #82. Nonetheless I hope you're ok OP...and that he really is your ex now
limabeans101029 21
I see your point but if the genders were reversed and a girl had said to a mugger "I don't have shit, he has tons of cash!", I'm pretty sure no one would be on her side. People need to stop trying to twist everything to make it about sexism. Telling someone with a knife to go for your partner instead of you is a disgusting and cowardly thing to do no matter what your gender is, and I think most people would agree with me.
ExtremeEncounter 32
#112 Obviously the guy is a dick, but here's where you're wrong. I've seen countless FML's that have had similar reversed rolls or other situations and either the women or men get off when the other gender had not.
brand125 17
i havnt seen these fmls and i think youre exagerating, which is where youre wrong. i would never let her off easy if roles were reversed.
brand125 17
122 is so right. its normal to be scared. but TELLING a mugger to go after your partner is the jerk move. who the **** does that, man or woman?
ExtremeEncounter 32
Lol #125 if you'd read what I wrote I said the guy was a dick. I never said that the guy wasn't a dick, though I only question how people would act had the roles been reversed, which people would act differently.
ExtremeEncounter 32
#122 Seems you have trouble reading. Let me help you with that; I said the guy was a dick, of course because he is. But that doesn't mean people wouldn't act differently had the roles been reversed. Try again.
limabeans101029 21
129- The point is that people probably wouldn't act differently if the roles were reversed. Like I said, if the fml involved a girl telling a mugger to go for her boyfriend instead of her, I highly doubt that anyone would be defending her.
ExtremeEncounter 32
#132 Though possible, some may figure that's what she probably should have done instead of being mugged with her boyfriend.
ExtremeEncounter 32
#140 you realize that indeed it is probable that most people wouldn't blame the girl for running. Similar things happen often enough to know that people would be a lot more lenient.
brand125 17
most people would get mad at a girl for telling the mugger to attack the guy. dont you see that in your downvotes? he didnt just run, that would have been better. they tried to get their partner hurt. you are the one being sexist
ExtremeEncounter 32
#158 I have to explain this again. Did I say what the guy did is justified? No? Was it implied? No. Your argument is now invalid. Move along.
ExtremeEncounter 32
#160 you didn't even make an effort to stay on topic. I wasn't arguing whether it would be better if one would run instead of telling the mugger to get their partner. gg get rekt m80
ExtremeEncounter 32
#160 Seems you have trouble sticking to the original topic. I was never arguing over whether it would be better for someone to just run instead of bringing the attackers attention to them then running.

#164, Wow - you're extremely good at beating around the bush. This entire conversation is just ridiculous on your part.

You should have said something like "if a girl ran away first because her bf wanted her to or let her, in that situation, people would justify it", but there's no way if a girl screwed over her bf by saying he was the one with money would that EVER fly.
ExtremeEncounter 32
#179 Yes, it would fly for some.
chosha_fml 27
#77 It would be just as bad. He didn't just run off in panic. He deliberately endangered her by turning the mugger on her so he could escape. That would be a douche move no matter who did it.
chosha_fml 27
#132 I want to agree, but then there are people who think OP deserved this. Nevertheless, anyone who condoned a woman who did this would be wrong.
MakeItStopWtf 12
I think there are people who just click YDI on every post. Nobody deserves that.

Time to ditch him instead.
lexiieeex3 32
Or time to come at him with a knife and see how he likes it...
nityasomaiya 46
OP should have turned the tables and said that her boyfriend was running because he had money. She was broke, and cried like a grandmother to him, about all het miseries. He would have definitely got the boyfriend instead then.
Dick_diamond 22
I like how you think
Colon_Man 17
And, now the mugger and OP are dating...
rdenkewicz 11
Yup ditch him at top speed.
Ms_ValS 27
Wow OP. I think if you were married and had kids with this loser he would give the baby to the mugger and say something like "The small one is worth thousands, take it!"
missambitious 21
The sad thing is that I could see this happening. Not necessarily in OP's case, but in general as well.
SlimDanny 15
Hopefully he wasn't your boyfriend much longer after that.
Xx_Slayer_xX 22
Hopefully, OP returned home safely. Completely.

You're boyfriend should always use protection

Your mother should have as well

#80, I think #63 meant #20

Obviously you made it out, now find his ass and give him what he has coming to him.
