Today, my boyfriend said I didn't give him enough attention because of my busy work life. So… he got me fired. Looks like my calendar is clear. FML

HRomero tells us more.

Hello all. OP here. First of all thanks everyone for your kind words. I am single and it's gonna stay like that for a while. There were a few signs that he was a little crazy, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Even now that we aren't together, he continues to be crazy. He even put my phone number on social media. So the only option I had was to get rid of ALL social media. The good thing is, I've been catching up on some sleep now that I'm jobless, but I won't be jobless forever. Word of advice...if you get this gut feeling your significant other is crazy..run cause you might lose your job. Take care y'all.

Tell him you're too busy looking for a job to spend time with him. If he is still your boyfriend, that is.

He's so clingy, Velcro would tell him to loosen up.

Fire him from being your boyfriend :)

If that isn't a red flag for a clingy psycho, idk what is. RUN! Run far away and NEVER return!

Dump him now and RUN! That's a total control freak move!

As bad as I feel for OP, I guess I can relate somewhat. In the past 3 weeks, I've spoken so little to my woman I don't even know if we're still together. This is due to work. We may not know what OP did, how long the hours were etc, but they were enough that the dude felt neglected. If you're going to be a workaholic, that's your prerogative. But expecting your partner to just hang around and be content with the scraps of time and attention you give them isn't quite fair. That being said, OP's boyfriend was a total bastard for getting her fired, and I would most certainly dump him if I was in this position.

There was more to it as to why he got me fired. The main reason he said I was always busy...but he was the one with TWO jobs. I only had one full-time job. The other reason he got me fired was because I went out to celebrate my birthday...with my GIRL friends...without him..

Oh, there's no need to explain anything to me, I'm just a poorly informed internet guy. That said, we didn't know any of the intricacies of your relationship until you explained that he was batshit crazy. Although I am sorry for you losing your job, the silver lining is that your ex's actions have resulted in you no longer being in such a toxic relationship, so that's a positive no? Anyway, hopefully, this imposed... sabbatical is a good one, and that when you do find a new job, your batteries have been recharged. Also, hopefully, when you find yourself in a new relationship, I hope its with somebody who won't make it seemingly as much work as the last guy. :)

#38, there is an easy solution to being miserable in a relationship because the other person works too much. You ask if your partner would make time for you. If they won't, break up. If they truly can't, and you can't handle waiting until they can, break up. There's absolutely no situation where getting them fired is an acceptable response -- that's just emotionally and economically abusive, and narcissistic af. And after the poster's explanation, it's pretty clear that he was trying to isolate her. She's so lucky she got out before she was trapped in an abusive relationship.

Time to tell him to take a hike! You don't need a man like that!

First the job, then communication with friends and family, then padlocks on all the exits, then you find him on a chair in the middle of the living room clean a gun in the dark, muttering about how he found the one way you can always be together.

Also it is a lot better that he did that before you got married, because if he didn't, you were most likely in for a manipulative and an emotionally abusive marriage.

You know how else to clear your calendar? Loose the clinger

I very much hope you immediately terminated the relationship :/
