I’ll try to keep this as brief as possible, and hopefully this formats okay because I’m on mobile.
This is a two-part fuck up, one that happened last week and the second part today.
So, as the title says, I fucked up by picking my girlfriend (we’ll call her Maria) over my job. Maria and I have been working together for a couple years now but she was in a relationship the whole time up until a few months ago. She was dating a guy (we’ll call him Hank) who is one of the longest tenured employees at our job, is extremely well liked and is a really good dude, though I wouldn’t say he and I were super close by any means. Maria and I run in similar social circles so we are around each other a LOT both inside and outside of work, and one thing led to another and we started dating. We immediately told Hank since we all work together, and he didn’t seem to care, but we made it a point to keep it quiet around the office to not start anything.
That is, until last week, when Maria and I were spotted out together and news made it back to the office. Our boss found out, and he was LIVID. He called me into his office and made a huge deal about me dating “a made-man’s” girl and how I’m a scumbag and a backstabber and all this. I tried to explain myself (admittedly didn’t do a good job because I’m an idiot) and he wasn’t having it. He tried to get me to admit what I was doing was wrong and that I made a mistake but I wouldn’t do it, and doubled down on my commitment to my girl. This fucked me, because the boss started telling me my contract was up for renewal in February and that I wouldn’t be renewed now. He said other things to cover his ass, like I’m not producing any value for the company anyways, and that technically I’m not getting fired I’ll just expire my current contract and wouldn’t get picked up again. So, essentially, picking my girlfriend has cost me my job.
That sucked, until today, when Maria decided she didn’t want to be with me anymore. She told me dating me was a mistake, that I was a rebound for her after she got out of a long relationship, that she would rather live a single life as she travels the country for her role at our company. She also threw some personal shots at me disguised as “advice to find a better girl” like: shave my head (I have long hair but am balding on top) and quit wearing a hat all the time, hit the gym (I’m a frail guy), and find something I’m good at for work(think this was an echoing of my convo with my boss, who said I have no real talent).
So, I REALLY fucked up.
TL;DR: I fucked up by picking my girlfriend over my job, got canned, and then dumped.
