Money, Transportation and Love: The price of love

The price of love

By broke - 05/05/2009 04:07 - United States

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 flew cross-country to see my girlfriend of three years. Once I got there, she broke up with me. I was supposed to be staying for a month and now I have nowhere to go. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I went on vacation. We flew 2000 miles, got off the plane, got our bags and stood outside the airport for our ride. She looks at me and says, "I can't do this anymore." So, she broke up with me and flew back home. Now I'm on vacation alone. FML

Today, my girlfriend called saying that she wanted to break up because she wasn't into me anymore. Yesterday, I paid $400 to take her to a Red Sox game, so I asked her why she even came with me. She said that she had been talking to her ex-boyfriend, and he said he was going to that game too. FML

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, 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

You're in the army now

By Crud - 06/02/2010 05:09 - United States

Today, my girlfriend of six months dumped me over the phone. I'm in the military and recently had to move away to another fort. We'd agreed that we would try to make long distance work. I'd even offered to buy a plane ticket to come see her each weekend. I've been gone less than two weeks. FML

Missed me?

By brokebihhhh - 02/01/2017 09:22 - United States

Today, I caught a flight to see my boyfriend, who is stationed in the army 300 miles away. When I was just 15 minutes from the base he called to say that we should break up. Now I'm heading back to California, single and broke. FML

Today, I flew into New Zealand to surprise my girlfriend on her trip. In the New Zealand Airport I received a text message saying she wanted to break up with me. I live in Michigan and just spent $1,500 for this romantic surprise. FML

#12: OH, and I wasn't calling you an idiot. I was calling the OP, it wouldn't let me edit. But it was going to say:: Idiot, for letting the FML end there I thought you'd say you kicked her ass or atleast stole her money & made HER pay!

#15 so you think she should have led him on for the week and let him think things were okay before dumping him rather than being honest from the outset? And OP I'm sorry, it sucks - I'm in a LDR myself and I know how much effort you put in... On a picky note (and I'm sure I'll get yelled at for mentioning this but it's starting to drive me crazy)... it's "paid" not "payed".

Why not stay? A cheap hotel wouldn't have costed that much for a few days. Then you could've taken your regular flight home.

There are too many FMLs like this. It sucks buddy, but we've already heard it.

Did you meet her on myspace, "date" for a days, then decide to meet her? lol. YDI for paying that much on an online GF. (hey, he never said it wasn't, so we can still rag on the stupidity of such a long distance relationship, for all we know, he might have never met her in person and he ended up not being who she thought he was)

Like other people said, at least she had the guts to break up with you to your face instead of something cold like through email. Same with doing it right away instead of leading you on for the entire week.

I don't believe in breaking up over the phone/cell/text message cause it just make you look like a chicken but in this case it would have been okay. That way he wouldn't have spent all that money and gone all the way for nothing. I give her kudos for doing it in person, but come on... #3: that's just not right.
