Elizabeth Figueroa+FollowThey Cancelled My BF’s Birthday Because I’m “Broke”2:13AM, Notes app, rage-typed. Dear Past Me: Next time your BF’s mom asks you to “help plan a little dinner,” RUN. She texted me to plan his surprise bday. I booked the place, invited his friends, did everything. Then casually drops, “Are you gonna need help paying for everyone’s meal?” Like… what? There are EIGHT people. Fancy-ass restaurant. I’m barely affording my own life right now??? I said I couldn’t cover it. Thought that was fair. Now they’re cancelling the dinner and making HIM feel guilty. His dad literally said, “We thought you were in a good enough place to pay.” Babe, if I was, I wouldn’t be eating instant ramen while crying over your unhinged family. I’m so tired. I’m not a bank. I’m just your girlfriend. #FamilyDrama #AdultingFail #NoFilter #MILChronicles #WhyWomenSnap 13277Share
