This happened yesterday and I’m still trying to forget it ever occurred. Spoiler: I can’t.
So I was wrapping up a Zoom meeting with my manager. It had been a pretty normal meeting—project updates, upcoming deadlines, etc. Nothing emotional or personal at all. As the call was ending, she said, “Okay, talk to you soon!” and, without thinking, my brain—still in “boyfriend mode” after texting my girlfriend earlier—automatically fired back: “Love you too!”
There was a second of dead silence. Then two seconds. Then three. She didn’t say anything. I didn’t say anything. I think I blacked out briefly.
I quickly ended the call and sat in my chair, staring into the void, reevaluating every life choice that led me to this moment. I messaged a friend immediately. He laughed so hard he cried. I, however, have not laughed since.
She hasn’t brought it up. But every time I see her name on my calendar, my soul dies a little.
TL;DR: My brain glitched and I accidentally told my boss I loved her. We have a follow-up meeting on Friday. Pray for me.
