FORMER spouse DEPARTED from me for his junior COLLEAGUE at work while I

0:00President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections. I hope you enjoy this story. Former spouse departed from me for his junior colleague at work while I was expecting. Presently, she lost their child and is bothering me while he attempted to assert himself on me. I will not tolerate this behavior. Fix the grammar later, fake names and throw away. So my, 36F, ex-husband Tom, 35M, left me for his work wife Tammy, 25F, two years ago. I never liked her even before I found out about their relationship.

1:03The first time I met her at a work event she told me while I was happily pregnant my youngest better up your wife game or I might steal him off you well. Three months later she did. This woman literally came with him to help pack the day he moved out and tried to have a one-on-one conversation on how she wanted our relationship going forward because she was going to be in my life. Then said as a joke told you I'd steal him away not gonna lie I'm thankful she did because when my ex made a comment about her being 23 and her brain not being fully developed I got the ex so bad it turned my heartbreak into relief. I got everything in the divorce because I got him in as a fair fog and gave 50 to 50 custody for our kids sake. I'm civil for the sake of my kids so we can both attend events without drama but other than that I couldn't honestly careless about them. Around June Tammy came instead of Tom for pic and practically skipped towards me to show off her engagement ring saying she wanted me as a bridesmaid along with my daughters for something I didn't catch because I was in a rush to get our cat to the vet. She got upset because I just said in her whole conversation her Tom's text a few hours later. Same happened again in September

2:07when she told me she was pregnant which again my zero fucks given upset her in December when she told me the second I opened the car door Tom's finally getting a son to which I sarcastically replied I'm sure Lord Tom's excited for an heir to take over his lands and titles which caused drama too because Tom's family founded hilarious when Tammy was bad mouthing me. December was the last time I saw her till today at drop-offs with Tom. As they approached me I noticed Tammy didn't look pregnant anymore. Tammy tearfully said we lost the baby I didn't answer just told Tom our second daughter has a birthday party tomorrow at three and the oldest has gymnastics at five. Tammy literally screamed at me I was a heartless bitch and bitter than grab the girls bags walking away. Tom said I could show a little humanity towards Tammy and regardless of my feelings she is my kid's stepmother. I told Tom I don't care about what he going through because outside our kids I don't care about them and I don't know Tammy anything especially pity. He called me an asshole along with other things and left usually this wouldn't bother me but my ex-in-laws who I have a good relationship have told me I should have shown Tammy some empathy

3:11and at the very least pretended to care for the sake of the kids. Comments where Op has replied imposter syndrome 412 so you're supposed to show empathy to someone who ruined your marriage and goes out of their way to get a reaction out of you no NTA boop she said she wanted to friends and tells people like my in-laws that I can't put the past behind me for the sake of the kids even called me a pick me beneficial underscore syrup underscore 869 he's no longer your problem he's hers until she becomes too old for him enjoy your life that's the best revenge boop I'm enjoying my life honestly single life is so underrated I adopted two senior cats last week because I found out at my local book club our shelter has a end of life event every month so you can give a senior cat a loving home before the end I think when my kids are grown I'm going to be the local cat lady everyone thinks is a witch illuminate 90 NTA you should have filed for more custody

5:18couldn't care less about them our oldest is 13 then we have a 12 7 and two year old so I'm gonna let them form their own opinions as they grow older about them I will say Tammy is a good stepmom to which I'm glad frog say so I still wouldn't trust Tammy not to try to poison them against you out of spite boop my girls are extremely smart and my oldest older father I've never said a bad word about him to them so she wouldn't stand for it ether nor would she tell them any information about me both Tom and Tammy have asked multiple questions about me in the past to the kids and they tried to convince them I was a bad person during the bridesmaid situation my oldest told me and her grandmother ex mill I told my ex I'd take him back to court if it ever happened again and his family said they back the average cost of a de wine Virginia is 11,352 dollars and 47 cents drinking and driving costs more than your drinks learn more at what's the damage not org brought to you by Virginia DMV hey it's bubble walless from 2311 racing you know what feels like

8:30home and agreed it's best if I have them full time for now my girls are at homes safe my brother will be staying with me for the foreseeable future I'll be seeing a lawyer first time Monday about full custody and a restraining order because I was sinking feeling it's gonna get worse before it gets brought up I just kept telling Tammy leave my property because I don't want to hear it I don't know why I was brought into this because I was looking forward to my chill weekend I'd like to also say for the people in my last post calling me jealousy slash bitter of nothing to be jealous of someone who cheats on you isn't a prize he is Tammy's problem now and for those of you saying my I don't give care about my ex's life means I'm not over him because I don't want to be friends with him or Tammy your ex moved on when they say leave them alone they're not playing hard to get they really don't want to talk to you comments where OP has replied yeah true CRE I hope it gets better for you but as you said and I agree with you it's going to get worse I don't understand what it is that people want you to do he cheated left and both of you moved on why should you care about his life if it doesn't involve your children it doesn't

9:31involve your happiness trumps whatever he got going on in his life oh OP they want me to be the bitter evil ex-wife to justify themselves even though I feel nothing towards ether of them like I'd have the same reaction if they told me that day they won the lottery I've gotten to a place I'm happy with my life and love it maybe they think that since I've not gone on a date since the divorce I'm still not moved on but I've not dated anyone because I don't want a single life is awesome why ruin it update February 2nd 5th 2024 I won't be updating till all the legal issues are over with and my own mental health is in a better place so it could take anything up to three to six months I spoke to a lawyer today I'm obviously not going to go into details but with all the evidence and witnesses on my side I have a good shot at getting full custody but it's only day one and nothing has started yet Tom sexually assaulted me it didn't go far thanks to my brother but it's left me very shaken I agreed to let Tom come over to visit the kids whenever he wanted so when he came over yesterday evening and went into the garden with the kids I went for a shower coming out of

10:31the bathroom he cornered me about wanting to talk I told him it wasn't the time and told him ether go out to the girls or leave he started saying he made a mistake Tammy was a nut job and he wanted to come home to us I told him get the fuck out of my house and there is Noah so he started saying stuff I physically can't type without breaking down then tried to force a make-out session to put it politely thankfully my brother heard and came running unfortunately the kids heard everything when my brother and Tom started fighting I was in complete shock at the time to try to do anything to help the situation even when Tom was being taken away I was too scared to move and couldn't confront my crying children not my proudest moment remember I said before I adopted older cats while I put cameras through common areas in my home to watch them while I'm at work one of those areas is the hall between my room and the bathroom I don't know what to do with Tom going forward but I know I can't face him ever again even with supervision from my father or brother who both work in law enforcement Tammy sent hundreds of messages to me and my oldest two but I can't block

13:36over to be with the children boop I don't know going though his and Tammy heads to be this focused on me when they should be seeking comfort in each other but Tom did say I never lost any of his kids when it was happening like if I'm being honest he was saying some unhinged creepy things like I've known to him since I was 14 it was like I was looking at Tom but at the same time it wasn't him if that makes sense screaming harpy christ on a bike I thought police involvement would be because of Tammy not Tom I thought Tom would try to get you back when you realized how badly screwed up by leaving you for Tammy but sexual assault is not the way to make a woman think hell yes let's go you can come home at once I'm so glad you had your brother there to rescue you what the fact is he on that he thought to himself how do I woo my ex wife back I know I'll force myself upon her that'll make her want me back really Tom fecking really please don't beat yourself up for freezing as it's a fairly common reaction to assault I'm so sorry this happened to you please tell me you're pressing charges I would also suggest counseling for you and your girls when you're ready as this is going to stay with all of you again I'm so sorry he did this to you yeah I'm gonna press charges and my kids will get counseling because my oldest is blaming

14:39herself and won't leave my side now onto the next story story too one of my employees had to take two days off of work because his father died a week later his dad walks into the store I'm a manager at a shop that's 420 friendly for employees as long as it doesn't affect your work we're all a big stoner family we know who's capable of working high and who isn't one of my employees is becoming a bit of a chronic liar he's a bit of a performer always doing impressions and generally being a pretty funny guy but he's a bit of a slacker I'll call him scubae one day scubae comes and uncharacteristically quiet just looking sad and depressed he was working slower than usual and not really responding to anybody in the middle of an otherwise busy kitchen so he gets pulled outside and tells the owner of the store that his dad just died and he was reeling from it he told him not to tell anybody because he's not the kind of person to spread his emotional baggage around the owner and I gave him a hug told him to go home and take as long as he needs he comes back a couple of days later and everything seems all right a few days later a man walks into the store and asks to see scubae I was wondering if I could see scubae that's my

15:41son your his dad yeah we look alike don't we he did they looked exactly alike so now we're faced with the situation of this kid being a little liar I pulled my boss the owner aside and asked him what to do he told me that we're extremely shorthanded right now and letting him go would be counterproductive because we're in the middle of training three people and letting him go would force the more capable people to work 50 plus hours a week there's basically two to three of us plus the owners he told me not to say anything to scubae and that he and his wife would take care of it a few weeks of past now and I no longer believe a word out of this kid's mouth apparently the owners talked to him about his lying but since then it hasn't really stopped he's taken off of work from vomiting all the time at one point he took three Fridays and two Saturdays off in a row because of all the vomiting and various digestion issues he said he went to the doctor and his doctor told him he was allergic to eggs so he stopped eating eggs and then he was okay meanwhile I'll occasionally catch him eating a pre-packaged egg sandwich we bring for the employees for their lunch breaks one time he came and all sad and depressed again because his girlfriend broke up with him and his productivity slowed down to a crawl we told him to keep his personal drama at

16:42the door and sent him home that night I see he and his girlfriend publicly snuggling all over my Facebook feed I don't know what to do I can't look this fucking kid in the eye anymore and my boss won't fire him do I just deal with it and keep letting this little shit look at me and my face and lie to me every time he wants to take off of work comments where op has replied up on talking to the owners about the matter that's the thing they already know about it all it's impossible to lie to me especially if I've already caught you in a lie then when you talk to me my default position is that you're lying and I'll go back in and logically catch people and lies the kids a terrible liar already and when he talks to me he's talking to the god damn gatekeeper of truth not to tut my own horn or anything lol but the only way it's affecting my work is that I would occasionally have to cover for him but I told them that if this continues they would have to cover for him because I'm tired of working six day weeks and having to come in at three a.m. on my day off to open the store because this dude's family are dropping like flies I just don't know what to do as his boss soup when asked if there is an environment of fear and disapproval for asking for time off yes that's what I figured the crux of the issue was at first

17:45but he needs to grow balls and ask for the time off if he really needs it unfortunately he's asking for time off because he just doesn't want to work and that's what seriously pisses me off about all of this just to rant a bit I invited that fucking kid into my house to smoke some of my wee telling him how sorry I was for his loss I genuinely empathized with him and then his dad fucking walks into the store and he kept the lie up he told everybody a different story he told the bosses and I that that wasn't actually his father but his uncle who he calls his father sometimes it was bullshit and he admits it by shutting up when called out on it followed by nothing at all we call him out and he falls silent then he lies again the next day and the same shit happens we embarrass him all the time about his constant lying and I just don't understand why he keeps doing it it must be some sort of psychological issue when asked if the kid can just replace we're trying our best to train these new kids but there's so little time we've resorted to having people come in at three a.m. to dress donuts in a clothes store for three hours until it opens but it's really hard finding people with an availability of three a.m. whenever the fuck update February 1st 11th 2015 so it's been about two months since I last

18:50posted about this incident a lot of really crazy things have happened so I'll jump right in after everything happened with the last post everybody simply put the dead dad incident in the back of their minds they were pissed for a while but they eventually let it go I was the last one to let it go but I eventually didn't retrospect I shouldn't have because he never once owned up to the lie he just acted like none of it ever happened he tried to come up with lies to get out of working holiday shifts he was scheduled for Christmas New Year's but nobody believed him and he was told that if he didn't show up to these shifts that he'd be fired he showed up to the Christmas shift but he overslept through the New Year shift nobody cared because we ended up not needing him for the shift anyway and one of the new guys ended up covering for him on call everybody was pissed at him again and he's been on thin ice ever since then shit hit the fan in the past few days a couple of days ago his apparently psycho girlfriend caught him hanging out in a car with one of our mutual co-workers she had an absolute breakdown and started pounding on her window scooby hops out of the car to calm her down and the co-worker sky drives off the psycho girlfriend gets in her car and keeps trying to cut sky off in traffic at least that's the story I heard from my boss she eventually

19:52lets up sky manages to get home safe and texted scooby basically cussing him out later that night I make a quick stop by the store owner's house to pick something up for the store and they tell me that scooby called them and told them that he wouldn't be able to work for the next few days because he got into a big fight with his girlfriend and she slashed his tires the next morning I show up for my shift and scooby calls the store his speech is all slow mumbled and he's slurring his words I immediately think he's strung out on Tyler Reddick here from 2311 Racing victory lane yeah it's even better with chamba by my side race to chamba casino dot com let's chamba don't purchase necessary vtw group voidware prohibited by law ctnc's 21 plus sponsored by chamba casino hi this is Alex Cantrowitz i'm the host of big technology podcast a longtime reporter and an on air contributor to cmbc and if you're like me you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives so each week on big technology I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it asking where this is all going they come from places like

20:56Nvidia Microsoft Amazon and plenty more so if you want to be smart with your wallet your career choices and meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties listen to big technology podcast wherever you get your podcasts something he brags about doing acid and other hardest drugs he tells me this story about how the night before after his girlfriend slashed his tires she calmed down and they were walking around where they live in some warehouse district somewhere apparently looking for a store to grab money so they can call a tow truck to come get his car while walking he and his girlfriend got mugged he's fine but they beat her up pretty badly and took all their money because of this he wouldn't be able to work for the next few days which is valentine's day our busiest day of the year by far nobody even wanted to speak to him at that point so it all came down to this morning the owner comes in and I asked her if anyone has spoken to Scooby basically she pulled a string and his entire wall of lies came crumbling down I can't make this shit up so yesterday afternoon Scooby fucking calls the store with a disguised voice and asks for one of our co-workers Ashley who you can read all about here we have a really dysfunctional

21:57family he asks for her and tells her to meet him out the back of the store with his paycheck that was left for him at the cash register he did this so that he could avoid having to talk to the owner while she caught wind of it and showed up out back of the store with his paycheck but he noticed and literally ran away he shows up about a half an hour later with fresh scratches on his neck because apparently when he get mugged by a group of guys they scratch your neck she confronted him about all of it told him that she doesn't believe a word he ever says and that she loves him and wishes he'd stop making terrible decisions by the end of the conversation he basically admitted to all of the lies and he was finally fired and thus is the tale of Scooby the wandering liar final comments from Oop Oop on Scooby he's the kind of liar where he's so introspective that he thinks his outlandish lies are going to fool anybody it baffled me I never knew how this dude was ever getting through his life but I found out a few things over the course of him working there that proved that he was just a pillar of bad decisions that was Scooby's trademark he got arrested a month ago and was put in jail because he fessed up to some shoplifting that his girlfriend did he was already on probation from some other shit but he got off on a legal technicality and got off

22:59light but being in jail for two days didn't do anything to help Scooby get his shit together his parents kicked him out of his house and he's been floating between his girlfriend's house and his ex-girlfriends house when he and his current girlfriend are fighting I know I know this shit sounds like a bad soap opera and none of us understands why he's letting himself be put into the situation he needs his ass kicked by someone who cares about him because he's going down a really bad road Scooby running from the owner apparently he saw her before she got back their ran behind the wall ran around the corner to his car before she came through the back door she saw him fly out of the parking lot in his non-tire slash car that he spent hours using as an excuse to get out of work-oop when asked why a donut shop is busy on Valentine's Day who knows it just happened that way for the past two years the shop has been open people like to be creative with their Valentine's Day gift so they get donuts instead of flowers and chocolates
