Today, I got a call from the police dept. My ex-boyfriend is applying for a job there, and they called me to ask if he was "a good candidate for a police officer." I had to start my day off by saying great, nice things about the guy who broke my heart and completely disrespected me. FML

karmaplz tells us more.

I feel the need to clear up some of this discussion! First of all--thanks to all these anon. people for defending me. I honestly submitted this immediately after getting the phone call @ 8:30 am, never thinking it'd be posted. Secondly-- is he a bad guy? No. I'm sure if being a cop is what he wants to do, and has his heart in it, he'll do great at his job. As far as the disrespect: it got to a point where I wasn't valued as a person, and some very vulgar, vile, rude and hurtful things were said/done to me, that wouldn't have been done if I was respected for who I am. If I was seen as a human with a heart and feelings, these things wouldn't have been done. Can I say that this will never happen to another female? No. Do I think he's pure evil? No. Saying bad things would have been purely vengeful and ruined a potential career. Also, I wasn't listed a reference, they required names and phone numbers of "significant relationships"--- I was asked if there was ever an assault between us, and about his moral character. That's it. I've had a seriously great laugh over realizing this was actually posted, and loved reading all the comments. Thanks!

Why didn't you just tell them bad things?

As someone who knows a fair amount about the hiring process, you should have told them he was disrespectful. It is NOT grounds for disqualification, but it would give them a realistic idea about who he was. They would talk to him about it, but that doesn't mean they would DQ him. You should have been honest.

Why lie? YDI for not saying what u really thought of him!

can't wait till a cop saves ur ass

YDI. You could have easily said you decline to be a reference or tell the truth about how you felt about him and how he treated you. They will take what they need into account and disregard the rest. Men who "completely disrespect" their significant others usually have little to no regard for others' well being, and therefore, may not be a good candidate for being a police officer whose job is to protect the safety of citizens.

you could have ruined his chances. sounds like he would have deserved it.

I say good on you for being respectful enough and not immature by saying nice things about him to help him out, not good holding grudges.

That was actually really decent of you, good luck and take care.….

So your life sucks because you're a decent person not willing to exact petty revenge for personal reasons? Hope this is your worst "problem". :-) Sorry if that wasn't the reason you posted it but it certainly came of like it to me.
