Today, I took my girlfriend out for a romantic dinner, since we can't see each other this Valentine's Day. Halfway through, my aunt called, telling me my grandma had died. I had to leave because I was crying so much, leaving my girlfriend with a very pricey bill. FML

get ready for a break up. Times like this is when they tell you "I need someone more stable, emotionally" and the worst you can do is to chase if it happens. keep is posted in the outcome.

really? are you stupid? Perhaps it happens to YOU but it doesn't happen to everyone. It has never happened to me. It didn't happen to my parents. It hasn't happened to my best friend. So where exactly are you getting your data? Perhaps it happened to YOU because you're a ridiculous person? Perhaps you are unstable?

A) That's a dick comment. B) I'm pretty sure equality is the last thing on anyone's mind here.

''I'm pretty sure equality is the last thing on anyone's mind here'' then why is leaving his girlfriend to pay a bill an 'FML'?

Because maybe SHE (OP is a woman, thus making the equality/feminism argument irrelevant) feels guilty about leaving her with the bill (especially if OP was the one who invited her). That was my interpretation.

OP is also female. How do you know OP's girlfriend was pissed at being stuck with the bill? I know many women who pay their portion of a bill, or pays all of it.

You can always pay her back later. A good partner would understand. There's always more dinners.

I'm so sorry for your loss. If she's a good girlfriend, she'd be understanding,

Sorry for your loss, OP. I'm sure she understands and doesn't mind covering the bill, given the circumstances.

How awful, I'm sure she understands though. So sorry for your loss.

I'm sure she understands given the circumstances. If you still feel bad about it later you can always offer to pay her back, but if it were me I'd tell my boyfriend not to worry about it. Condolences to you and your family.

If she's not a heartless waste of space she'll understand that SOMEONE DYING is more important than a romantic dinner

Just pay her back, sorry about your grandma, but if your gf is a normal human being she'll understand and a little thing like flowers or candy wouldn't hurt if she was upset (even if she understood)

With all due respect, and with all sympathies; your Grandmother isn't going anywhere and she won't even know if you went to see her, let alone got there late. Should have at least paid off the bill and left early. Sounds heartless, I know...

It doesn't just sound heartless it is heartless, would you have given the same response if it had been a sister/brother/mother/father? Have a little sympathy, it probably came as a shock, the girlfriend should understand, it's not like he won't make it up to her when he's feeling less emotionally distraught. Not everyone can hold it back long enough to pay the bill, It's not like he could help it.

And if that is how you grieve, good for you. Not everyone can calculate their emotions in a situation like that. So, in all honesty, get off your high horse because your way isn't the only/best way.
