dys_fml tells us more.
OP here. Wasn't really expecting this one to get posted. To everyone who's asked- yes, he's my ex now. I didn't think it would make as much sense if I'd said she slept with my ex-boyfriend. And yes, I did lose my job over this. Said coworker and I were very good friends before all of this, hence the 'no longer speaking to her' part. I didn't simply stand there and get screamed at the entire time. I tried to give my side of the story and explain why I'd stopped talking to my coworker, but my boss just kept interrupting me and yelling, "I don't care!" and telling me I was full of shit. I eventually just left when she outright called me a liar. It was a small, locally owned business- so no union rep to call- and my coworker and I had two very separate jobs that didn't really require any interaction. I still spoke to her when I had to, if it had something to do with work. Apparently, she'd been going to our boss after I left for the day- who knows how often- crying about what a bitch I was and how unfair I was being, and saying that all of it was my fault to begin with. The boss even claimed that my coworker would need therapy because of me, and said that just my presence at the shop was making it impossible for her to do her job. The full story is obviously way too long for a single FML, so you can see why a lot of the details got cut.

Time to man up. lol your a girl same principle applies. you don't need to take shit from her definaty and don't let your boss yell at you because of the given situation.
He still cheated on you, no matter what. Get a new one, really. Sucks that your boss sided with her without hearing the whole story though.
you're all losers
yea, and ur coworker didn't HURT YOUR feelings. =.= i think she slept with YOUR boss too!
You're in Alaska... aren't there ten guys to every one girl there? You and your co-worker must be the two most pathetic women in the state if you have to fight over the same guy. That's why your boss was upset... somehow he ended up with both of you as employees.
I suspect ur boss is ur boyfriend :D
my boss tried to pull that bs on my yearly review... "I don't interact with the other team mates".... i said " this isn't kindergaten I don't have to play nice with others; I do my ******* job and I go home." Your boss is full of Shiz.... screw her feelings and her boyfriend 8)
Unless your boss is completely insane I have to think that the boss got involved because you not talking to your coworker was creating a bad workplace environment that negatively impacts other employees who are subjected to it and/or productivity. While you may dislike someone over a personal issue it's still a personal issue and should not be taken into the workplace. Part of being a professional is keeping your personal issues with someone separate from work.
I would tell my boss to mind his or her own business, unless they wanted to be involved in a lawsuit.

maybe your boss also slept with him...
Why did you stand there and take it for an hour? The minute my boss starts giving me shit about my personal life is the minute I get my union rep on the phone. You better do it now. FYL
