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

Tell him he needs better excuses [: Look on the bright side, MAYBE he feels bad for you, because you pay everything and wants a girl where he can be able to pay also. Or maybe he is just a gold digger. Good Luck though xD

he's just trying breakup up with you subtly, take a hint?

Why don't you write a FML when it really matters, like when you develop beaten wives syndrome from this guy. Whine some more why don't you.

If he has a job, then maybe his boss decided against giving him the time off and now he might loose his job if he goes to visit you?

he really needs to make better excuses if that's the case. otherwise, I'd say it's a subtle hint that he's no longer into you.

I'm with 21 and 23. It's not worth it if one person in the relationship pays for everything, whether it's the male or the female. Get rid of him. He's a jackass.

#75 - Olmec: *just noticed your comment on the other FML as well* Dude, this is the wrong site to come to if you hate people complaining. Seriously. OP: That blows. I hope you haven't paid for everything yet, and if so, I hope you get refunds.

You know, it can be embarrassing and uncomfortable to admit that you can't afford to do things like come and visit a loved one, and pride can be really bruised. Aside from his potential discomfort in allowing you to spend all that money on him, maybe he just has to think about how he'll pay for rent or fuel or food if he takes the time off to visit you. Also, I'm appalled by all the money-grabbing assholes on this site who think someone's financial status should be reason enough to dump them, or worse, date them. As long as there's no intentional freeloading going on, a person is much more important than how much money they have to spend on you.

I'd probably behave like that too, but the reason would actually be because I wouldn't want to take advantage of my girlfriend..

Are you also the one paying his salary while he visits you?

you shouldn't be paying for him to begin with.
