    Font - I had a girlfriend. We were bad for each other, and unsurprisingly she was cheating on me. I found out in a rather dramatic way and had a full on mental breakdown. Dude who she was cheating with had been fed a bunch of lies to keep him from talking to me and he started threatening me with violence. Long story short, we broke up, she moved out of our place and into his place, I started therapy.

    Font - A few months goes by and I realize in therapy that I wasn't just busted up about my exgf but also my whole life. I decided to find a new job, a new place to live, everything. Got the ball rolling and the day I got my new job offer I saw an email come in to our jobs@inbox at the company I was working for. I recognize the name as the guy who was threatening me, and now living with my cheating ex.

    Font - Dude comes in for an interview, I'm on the panel. When we're in the room together alone he's like "dude, I'm sorry bro for all of the things I said, thank you so much for helping me out." I say "no sweat, she always had good things to say about you and I know that she had a good picker, after all she chose both of us" and we chuckled like polite people. He actually does ok in the interview and gets the job.

    Font - That job was a shshow. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it is the worst job I ever had. The place that I was moving to was paying twice for a third of the work. I was so relieved to be leaving.

    Font - When I moved out of my place a month later my landlord asked if I knew anyone who was looking. Gave her the guys phone number. That apartment was charming as f when you first see it but was similarly absolute trash but you didn't know that until you were living there. My buddy from my old job told me he got the call for it at work and jumped on it. So I knew he had my old shity job, my old sh ty place, and my old cheating girlfriend.

    Font - I hope he enjoyed my life more than I did, but somehow I doubt it. I do know that they broke up about two months later.

I'm sure him signing a lease on our old apartment that we both hated without consulting her probably contributed.
