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

Ah, the type that are nice to you just as long as a free vacation is involved. I've been there. Sorry you had to deal with that too.

My sister's ex waited until the day before their Caribbean cruise to break up with her and move out. Guys like that suck. Sorry about the break, OP. :(

Sounds like maybe he met someone on the cruise that "he" thinks is a bigger sucker than you & will spend more money on him...drop him like a hot potato & see him become the poor,lonely slob that he is beg you back..then tell him "no, sorry...I wanted a man, not an unappreciative child to raise, good luck on your next endeavor" & close the door/hang up (whatever suits the occasion)

You shouldn't even be dating a guy who lets you pay for a holiday

1. Unless it's a birthday/anniversary/whatever gift, you shouldn't be shelling out for everything for something as costly as a cruise or trip. If it was a gift, then that was your choice to make and the fact that you paid for it should be a moot point. 2. Vacationing together can bring out problems in a relationship, much like living together can. A coworker's daughter and her boyfriend actually specifically went on a cruise together before deciding to get married, to see how they put up with each other in a small space for two weeks. So while it's possible he's a dick who waited until after for a free trip, it's just as likely that the trip itself made him realize this wasn't working.
