Today, I'm on vacation. I spent $4000 to surprise my boyfriend on a trip to Hawaii. We have been together over a year. Turns out, he hates the outdoors. He's mad at me for bringing him here and is upset at everything. He's in the room reading, I'm at the bar drinking $10 Mai Tai's. 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, I landed in Hawaii for my vacation. I have a really bad ear infection, and to top my day off, my girlfriend blurted out mid-flight that she thinks we're not going to work out. Aloha! FML

Today, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to break up with me but it had to be after our cruise together because he doesn't want to lose out on money. Can't wait for the Bahamas. 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, my fiancée bought me a luxury getaway to the Maldives, complete with a five-star hotel and first-class plane tickets. Too bad she used my credit card, with all the money I was saving for our wedding. FML

Today, on the last day of our vacation with my boyfriend's family, I'm crying alone under a tree because he refuses to talk to me because I got mad he didn't want to do anything with me, but did those same things with his family. He went out of his way to do all the things I wanted to do, but without me. FML

Today, my son got back from his solo holiday in Hawaii. I asked him what he did. Apparently, he sat in his suite for 2 weeks, watching shit on his laptop. He spent thousands of pounds, flew thousands of miles to one of the nicest islands in the world, all to stay in his room. He could have done that here. FML

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

Today, I found out my boyfriend can't swim and we are about to go on a romantic holiday to Zanzibar where all our excursions include water-based activities. His solution is that I just go do them all by myself. FML

Today, it's the first day of my Hawaiian honeymoon. We found out that the pool is under construction and our room is infested with roaches. We are paying $375 a night for this. FML

You've been together over a year and you didn't know that he hates the outdoors? I gotta say YDI.

He seems like a jerk...any normal person would at least try to enjoy themselves when the significant other put in that much effort. Sorry, that sucks! On the upside you are in Hawaii!

#93 has a grasp on the situation. A surprise vacation is a terrible idea unless you know the person like the back of your hand, which you clearly don't, and it sounds to me like you picked something that YOU wanted to do, not him. Why should he pretend to enjoy a trip that you're taking out of selfishness that is to him simply robbing him of his time? It's also quite possible that that $4000 should have gone elsewhere, and it's even worse if it went on a credit card...particularly if he's supposed to help pay the credit card off. YDI.

#56, how can you be in a relationship though when there is no compromising being done. I understand it wasn't the guy's taste to be in Hawaii, but at least suck it up, compromise and go outdoors sometimes to spend time with the SO. Apparently that's too much to ask for though, so who knows!!!

You dated for a YEAR and didn't bother to learn simple details about him? Go sex him, up and apologize.

My boyfriend hates the outdoors, too, but he doesn't whine like a little baby when I want to go to the park, much less when I spend money on a trip somewhere nice. Your boy is an ass, so be an ass to him.

Sounds to me like a good vacation for an affair!

What a weird guy. First of all, I know people who hate the outdoors, but they would all still love a trip to Hawaii. That's a level of hate I can't imagine. Second, so he hates being outside. Can't he at least come to the bar with you for some drinks? Suggest you guys really make use of the hotel room (if you get my drift)? He sounds really ungrateful and babyish.

YDI. After dating for a year, how did you not know that about him? Make sure you learn these things before spending ass-tons of money. He could definitely have reacted better and been less of a jerk, but seriously, how did you not know that?
