Love: Unexpected

Unexpected

By kalazoo21 - 25/08/2009 12:54 - United States

Today, I quit my job that my girlfriend and I worked together at. Fellow employees are not allowed to date one another and I said it would be ok if I was the one to leave. When I got home to her and told her that I quit, she decided to break up with me. I now have no job and no girlfriend. FML

Today, after “talking” and flirting with my team lead for a few months, we started dating and I quit my job, which I really liked, and started working somewhere I didn’t just so we could be together. Now, two weeks after quitting, she breaks up with me. FML

Today, I was fired from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML

Today, my girlfriend came to my workplace to tell me she was breaking up with me. My boss, who was passing by, fired me for "chatting with friends" during work hours. FML

Today, I was driving to work and I got a text from my girlfriend. She said she was breaking up with me. I was a little heartbroken, but I had to get on with my day. I got to work and my boss fired me. Turns out, my boss and girlfriend have been having an affair and she told him to fire me. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I was unsuccessful at a job interview, and she didn't want to be with someone who "has no future". She's unemployed too. FML

Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. She was ecstatic. Apparently, she'd been trying to figure out how to break up with me for the past four months. FML

Today, I quit my job and sent a mass mail on Facebook that I was moving to a different state with my long time boyfriend. He called me later that night to tell me we aren't moving after all. Now we are both jobless with loads of bills to pay by the end of the month. FML

if she broke up with you because you sacrificed your job so she wouldn't get in trouble, she obviously wasn't a quality girlfriend to begin with

You deserve it. Why should she have to supply all the money? You had a piss poor excuse for quitting. Could have just kept the relationship on the DL at work. I think it's good for her because had you not wanting both of you to get fired have been your real reason, you could have talked about it before hand with her, and seen if she was okay with such a large decision. Sorry you got dumped for being lazy. Maybe next time think of a better excuse.

If he lived with his girlfriend, they would have the same address and phone number on file, or if they just moved in together, they would have to notify the employer of the change. (He said "when I got home to her," so I assume they lived together.) The employer WOULD find out. Surely he was planning to find another job.

You are stupid for trying to leave your job for a girl. Never trust girls that much!!!

If she broke up with you over it, it means you guys didn't even talk it through. You don't make decisions like that without talking about it. I voted both YDI and FYL.
