Today, my boyfriend tried to be romantic and trick me into missing my flight, so he could spend another day with me before I have to return to Asia for work. There is nothing romantic about spending 2 hours trying to sort out a new international itinerary with Delta's automated menus. FML

Hi, this is OP. To be fair, he did fly me out to visit him and put a real effort into making the week we had together great. That said, after I did manage to fix the flight back, I think he was scared I was going to kick him in the balls for that stunt for most of the extra 24 hours we had together. But the makeup sex was great and I barely managed to make it back in time for work obligations, so bf is EXTREMELY lucky :) And we have a new relationship rule of not ******* with travel arrangements. Sigh.

I'm reading these comments, and really can't understand the support the boyfriend is getting. He deliberately made her miss her flights, and it caused a giant mess. Keep in mind that she was flying for work, and her company might not be so happy as these commenters if she had missed an important meeting or conference. The "thought" doesn't count when a selfish person inconveniences you to fulfill a personal desire.

honestly I'd be upset that he had done that without clearing up the mess. aint nuthing romantic about ******* up your travel arrangements when u have to deal with it.

You do NOT **** with another's travel plans, especially when it concerns air fare! I don't care how romantic and spontaneous you want to be!

And it can be especially difficult to rearrange international flights (based on the wording, I'm assuming OP is traveling internationally).

#30 the word "international" is literally in the FML. There should be no inferences made. OP specifically stated international. Sheesh, people on this app need to learn how to read before they comment...

*sigh*. I can read just fine. OP's location is listed as China. OP said she was flying to Asia. I wasn't sure if OP was flying *to* China from somewhere outside of Asia (like the US-- which takes considerable planning and is something I've done) or flying *from* China to somewhere else in Asia (still international, but possibly not as complicated). Perhaps I should have said "intercontinental" to be clearer.

I feel like being a manipulative ass who jeopardizes her job and plans is the exact opposite of trying, actually...

I wonder if you guys would say "It's the thoughts that count" to a FML about someone who broke somebody's legs to make him stay and not go.

Honestly if this was flipped and the girl made the guy miss the flight, all the comments would be "We've got a stage 5 clinger here" and "Run dude, run!"

He should've made the night before this romantic. Having to figure out travel arrangements again would piss me off and not put me in a romantic mood at all.

Wow! This would probably be a deal-breaker for me. I agree, there's nothing romantic about this, he simply put his own will before your plans and your job, who the **** does that? If he wanted to be romantic, he could have gotten a plane ticket himself instead of forcing you into this situation.

The guy is a tool. What did he say about you having to fix arrangements and the time it took you? Next time maybe he could jump the flight and go with you. That might be "romantic".....

I can see where he was coming from, but don't approve it. Sorry OP.

"I felt bad 'cause you missed your flight. But that meant we had one more night!"
