Today, I got back from a romantic vacation at a fancy hotel with my boyfriend of 6 months. After a steamy love session, I confessed that I was in love with him. Later, when I got out of the shower, all his stuff was gone and I was stuck with the entire week's hotel cost and no ride home. FML

Well, if this is real, he sounds like an ass. However, I'm a bit confused as to why you would be taking a "romantic vacation" at a nice hotel with a guy who you haven't exchanged "love yous" with.

if you were together for 6 months than you should know where he lives! so hunt him down and beat his ass an make him pay you back!

You'll probably be able to take him to court (maybe even small claims court) to get at least part of your money back. Look into it and find out. But yeah, you're better off because he's a prick. Better luck next time! (And be wary of those vacations...)

Sue his ass for hotel bill and for the cost of whatever means you took to leave the hotel (bus, train, rental car, plane, whatever). (Definately get that, because if at most all you can get is his half of the hotel bill, at least you have the added victory of travel expense due to him leaving you in the lurch like that.) Who's idea was this trip, yours or his? If it was his idea and it was therefore him inviting you to this romantic get away, definately bring that to light in whatever legal proceedings come out of this. If it was your idea but you have proof (i.e. emails between the two of you, any receipts or other official documents) of either you two agreeing to split the bill or he covering the bill, that'll definately help things. Use any legal advantage you can on the asshole, claim emotional distress (which, hell, it is true) for an added bonus if you have to. Once that is done, live your life free of this bastard who didn't even have the balls to talk to you about this and snuck out while you were showering like some spineless little child. (Seriously, if he was that bent out of shape over this, the mature thing would've been to at least be man enough to end things to your face and drive you back, or if being in a car with him is not on your list of things you'd really want to do after this, at the very least see that you safely depart by whichever means you choose to return home.) Do things and surround yourself with people that truely make you happy and do not hurt you like this. And if you find yourself with a new guy, wait until after 'I love yous' have been exchanged before taking any extended vacations just to be on the safe side.

That's a bit extreme. I understand contacting him and asking him to reimburse her, but I highly doubt that he will. She went on the vacation too and should have known if things went badly she'd have to arrange for her own transportation home. She could ask him for half of the cost of the hotel, but that'd be all she really deserved. This isn't a reason to go to court. The fact that you even brought it up is ridiculous. Suing people is stupid anyway.. Karma always takes care of people like that.

I agree that suing people over everything is stupid - and actually pointless in this case. But karma is fake. Sometimes (oftentimes) you just gotta take your knocks and move on a little wiser.

Karma is just a name for cause and effect, to not at least believe in that doesn't make sense. She went on a fancy vacation with a jerk that couldn't handle love (cause) and he left her (effect). I'm not saying she deserved to be hurt, but it was going to happen eventually with a guy like that, anyway, and the more it hurts, the more she'll understand why. Another cause and effect cycle: he ran away (cause) so now, he might feel guilt and find himself in dead-end relationships for another while (effect). Orrrrrr, people will take it upon themselves to deliver karma/justice (not necessarily a good thing if they're looking for revenge, because they'll just start another cycle). Eventually, he's going to be dumped hard and will feel like a used tool, too. He's mostly looking for sex, but it won't be long before he finds himself emotionally attached and then cut loose.

Hoax, karma is a religious concept, not "fake." How would you feel if someone told you the Bible/the Koran/The Origin of Species was fake? Use your brain, then your words.

Exactly. She just mentioned that she got home before she wrote about the rest of it because she had to write about "Today."

What a jerk! You were brave enough to tell him how you feel and he wasn't even man enough to tell you he couldn't reciprocate. That guy is so NOT WORTH IT! Find him and get your money back.

Everyone is saying how that sucks so much (it really DOES suck) but I this she deserves it. Let me ask, why were you on vacation at a nice expensive hotel with a guy you've been with for 6 months?! I mean like a one day trip to the beach or something is understandable, but a nice hotel? Also, how long were you there because chances are it didn't cost more than like $300. That's a lot, but it's not like it ***** you over entirely. maybe next time you should be more careful about the guy you're with and how your relationship is. I am going to bet that the only thing you guys ever do is have sex, and he left because he realized you are capable of thinking about anything else, which honestly surprised me too.

If it's a high-end hotel, for a weekend away I'm estimating closer to $500, depending on the location.

I want to say FYL, but I can't. Mostly because I'm amazed you're taking long trips with, having sex with, and possibly LIVING with a guy you haven't said "I love you" to yet. (You said "all his stuff was gone," which I took to mean he was living there.) Those are all HUGE steps, at least two of which should NEVER be taken before you know where you stand in a relationship. (I personally would never have sex with someone who didn't love me, but not everyone ties sex and love together the way I do.) This isn't exactly a YDI, but do be more careful next time and learn from your mistakes. I'm truly sorry this happened, but I hope it makes you reconsider your future choices.

They were at the hotel I believe, so when the OP said "All his stuff was gone" it meant he up and left, not that they were living there together! OP THat sucks a lot! It took me 8 months to tell my bf I loved him even though I had loved him from the 6 month mark...you deserve a better guy!

The way I read it, she had just come back from the hotel and was back at home. But I think it's a little unclear.
