Holidays: Today, my boyfriend used the "this isn't working, we need to...

By sadpoorlady - 22/06/2013 09:22 - United Kingdom - Appley Bridge

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 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

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, after working another double shift because I want to buy my boyfriend a really expensive anniversary present, I get to his apartment to find him calculating in how many paychecks he'll be able to afford a Caribbean getaway. For himself. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he wants to break up. But not until after our anniversary tomorrow, because he's already gotten dinner reservations for us. FML

Today, the guy I've fallen for and have been dating on and off for 2 years told me that he kept contacting me to re-connect because he missed hanging out with me, but didn't actually have any feelings for me. I already paid for a non-refundable weekend away as his Christmas present for us both. FML

Today, I got a phone call from my boyfriend breaking things off with me. He waited until the day after Christmas because he wanted all his presents. And he got me nothing. FML

Today, my long-distance British boyfriend of 7 years canceled his plane ticket to visit me in the USA. He claims he "doesn't have enough money" to stay for 2 weeks. As I began canceling all the reservations, he called to say he bought a new car and a house. FML

Today, my boyfriend wanted to take me to a movie after days of not seeing me. This long-awaited date involved me paying for food and my movie ticket when he ran out of cash again. He then dumped me as we left the theater walking to his car. Yes, I financed my own breakup date. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend I wouldn't be able to get any time off work to go to Mexico with him, and that we'd have to get our tickets refunded, and reschedule. He said not to bother, and that he already had someone else in mind to take with him. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me a card for my birthday and told me to open it 10 minutes after he'd gone; I waited for 5. In the card was written, "It's not working out, but here's $20." FML

A few FMLs ago, the Op complained about her bf breaking up at the beginning of the trip, this OP complains about the bf breaking up after. Looks like there's just no pleasing some people

I was just thinking that! Although in this one I think the main reason she's upset that he waited is because she paid for everything. She probably could have taken a friend instead, but he decided to take advantage of the free trip and then dump her afterwards. (Just my guess)

Maybe they already had problems in the relationship and the trip was an attempt to rekindle, and he decided it wasn't working after all. Either way, I believe if there is more than one adult person coming along, expenses should be equally split that way no one feels like they are being taken advantage of.

Come on guys - if you were in his situation, would you seriously break up before the vacation? Really? And he wasn't manipulating her (not that we can tell at least), it seems that she was fine (at the time) with paying in full.

I'm sorry OP, you don't deserve that. Karma is a bitch though

That is a very shitty move on his part, but would you rather him have broken up on your first day of the trip then made the whole vacation miserable?

It could have been worse. He could have done it before your holiday and you could have been depressed the whole time, unable to enjoy the trip. He's still a dick though. Sorry, OP.
