Woman Ghosted By Her Long-Term Boyfriend Is Now His Boss
Ghosting is never a mature thing to do—yes, even if the first date is really, really bad. But you know what’s even worse than ghosting on a relationship that’s just barely getting started? Going radio silent on a person you’ve been dating for over three years.
As discovered by Buzzfeed, such is the conundrum currently facing a user on Ask a Manager, who casually posted the very non-relatable story of how he ghosted his long-term girlfriend in the rudest way possible. (Oh yeah, they lived together, too.) “We clearly had different expectations from the relationship. I did not know what to do and, well, I ghosted her,” he wrote. “Over the Christmas break, while she was visiting her family, I simply moved out and left the country. I took advantage of the fact that I accepted a job in other country and did not tell her about it. I simply wanted to avoid being untangled in a break-up drama.”
This all happened a few years ago, and the guy is now a math teacher at an international school, he wrote, claiming that his ex was “forgotten history” and that he’d happily moved on with his life. That is, until now, because he just discovered that his girlfriend is his boss. Hehehe.
“This week, I learnt that our fantastic school director suddenly resigned due to a serious family situation and had to move back to her home country over the summer. The school had to replace her,” he wrote. “I read the bio of the new boss and googled her and was shocked to discover it is [her]. We have not been in touch and do not have any mutual friends anymore. I am not a big fan of social media and had no idea what she had been up to since the unpleasant situation a long time ago.”
The question he’s begging us all to answer on his behalf: What the hell is he supposed to do? “It is clear this will be not only embarrassing, but I will also be reporting to my ex,” he concluded. “I am not in a position to find another job at present.”
We don’t have the answers for you, buddy.
