35-year-old accidentally "steals" his 30-year-old coworker's BF during amusement park trip

  • Woman and man in bumper car laugh uncomfortably while man steers the car.
  • obligatory "this didn't happen today" So I'm an amusement park kind of guy but most of my friends either actively dislike them or don't like them enough to pay to go. and like sit in traffic.
  • I had this coworker (30sF. at the time I was 35m) who I wasn't like friends friends with but definitely pre- friends and one day we're talking and she mentions she also likes amusement parks.
  • So I say we should go sometime to which she says "great? can I bring my boyfriend?" (in retrospect i think she didn't realize I WASN'T asking her on a date, parks are just less boring when you're with a friend) so I say "sure sounds great" and we make plans to meet at the park.
  • here's where the FU happens. she's cool and all but her boyfriend? that dude was AWESOME.
  • Woman holds onto swing ride while looking back and smiling at a friend.
  • A bromance had formed!

    5 minutes in him and I are getting along like a house on fire, turns out we have a lot of similar interests and we're just having a great time the way 2 dudes can immediately.
  • So we're hanging out at the wave pool and we're trying to include her but honestly the two of us had more in common than either one of us did with her and she's giving the terse "it's fine" and so eventually he's like "look you're upset and if I can I want to fix it so can you tell me what's wrong?" and she screams "I've just spent the past 5 hours with my boyfriend and apparently his SOULMATE!" and here's where I really double down on the FU, she said that and I laughed.
  • Which made Steve laugh. which made her (and him) leave. Yeah work was a tad awkward with her until I got transferred 3 months later (very normal in my job).
  • She and Steve broke up about a month after my transfer. which I know because I'm still in touch with him and he actually couch crashed with us (my now wife and i) for a few weeks last year when he was waiting on his apt to be ready tldr: coworker thought I was asking her on a date so brought her bf on a hang out.
  • her bf and I ended up getting along better than they did which led in part to them breaking up
  • Woman puts arm around her boyfriend as amusement park ride swings behind them.
  • Their bromance was just getting started

    The_Rowan I laughed out loud with the 'my boyfriend and his soulmate'. She did not want to be the third wheel of this party. I love that the OP stayed friends with they guy
  • She was projecting bigly

    BelaFarinRod I think there must have been other stuff going on besides one day at an amusement park.
  • cthart They weren't meant to be together and you helped them realise that. So that's a good thing, not a FU, IMHO.
  • GiraffeWithATop... I once dated a woman who would express jealousy when I hung out with my friends. It was weird and controlling and I don't recommend it to anybody.
  • Carradee Sheesh. I'd laugh, too, because that's just ridiculous. She was upset that her partner found a new buddy and communicated thatby blowing up at him. Makes me wonder what else she tried to sabotage.
