A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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

The price of love
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

I love that for you
Today, my long distance friend-with-benefits informed me she's now in a relationship with an amazing guy. I should be happier for her, as even I admit he is perfect for her. Too bad I just spent over a thousand dollars on plane tickets to visit her. The tickets are completely nonrefundable. FML

Empty seat
Today, I booked a flight to see my girlfriend. At least I thought she was coming, the flight isn't cancellable because I was broke and could only afford the minimum ticket. I just wanted to make her happy. Well, it's now four days before the flight and I haven't heard from her for a week. I've been left on 'delivered', thinking at 4 am. 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
Canceled Wedding
Today, I found out that because we made a mistake and applied for the wrong visa first, my fiancé probably can't fly into America to attend his own wedding. FML

Enjoy yourself, I guess
Today, I went with my girlfriend to the airport for some much needed vacation time. We arrived on time but were stopped at the gate when they told me I didn't have the right passport. The plane left without me. My girlfriend did too. FML

Go anyway, see the sights
Today, I could finally get a plane ticket to go see the girl I have been talking to for the past 5 months. Just as I told her the exciting news, she told me that she was no longer interested in me. Guess that's 800 dollars down the toilet. FML

Today, I was going to surprise my boyfriend at his family birthday celebration with a $2,000 trip he's always wanted, Ireland. Right before my gift, he had opened his mother's gift, an envelope containing a plane ticket. Guess where it was going? FML

Today, I went to pick up my long-distance boyfriend at the airport. It has been over six months since I last saw him and four days since I last heard from him. He never showed up. FML

So you're expecting $900 via PayPal soon, right? Cause if it were my bf, I would make him pay me back, in full. $900 is an insane amount for anyone.

Marry him, have a bunch of kids with him and divorce him. You’ll get much more than $900 in child support and alimony. What a great plan!!!

If she needs to buy him a ticket something tells me he doesn't have a job or not a very good one so he probably woildn't be paying much child support.

Good point! It would take years to have many children, so the OP would have plenty of time to pressure the loser husband into making something of himself. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Better just play some poker to get the money. You'll have fun and no work with an ex-husband and children you don't want or need.

Is his last name McCallister?

I assume this is a boyfriend you have actually met once before, right? Otherwise this is a catfish sweetheart

How is this a catfish? As far as we know he has not lied about his identity, nor did he profit from the situation since presumably she bought the ticket for him as opposed to handed him the 900 dollars to buy the ticket given that she specified he missed the flight as opposed to "didn't buy the ticket and ran away with the money"

Some catfishers operate that way — getting their victims to piss away money is just one of their sick pleasures.

Maybe he didn't even miss the flight but bought himself a free ride to a nice holiday.

Frankly more context is needed here otherwise I'm going to assume your boyfriend is a child.

Shit happens, except you call this one your BF.

lets face it if he considered you more than a booty call he would of bought his own ticket and made the flight or at least got his own ticket.

Hey, sometimes you get in a LDR with someone who can't always afford their own flights. Had to do that with my SO since money was a bit to tight for him to visit on his own.

I hope he had one heck of an excuse. I love my significant other more than anything, but wasting that much money would've hurt even our relationship, particularly without a good excuse and/or apology.

Most of these comments are honestly so unhelpful. Most airlines will allow you to reschedule the ticket for free the first time, after that there will be a fee. Give them a call and find out.
