I lurked for years, time to change that.
Some starter info, I'm on the wrong side of 25 and the median age in my state is about 55 the state of affairs is not hot my any means, including myself. I've got my own place with a stable job that I enjoy and pays decently enough. I definitely have some flaws. Not working out enough is a major one, I'm inconsistent with making time for meeting new people just for the sake of it and lastly I'm a sucker for someone in a tough spot seemingly out of their control.
Before I continue, I know I shat where I ate. I accept that I committed the cardinal sin.
I started dating this woman from my job a few years ago against my apprehensions (somewhere in the spring of 2022) but we work in separate departments. We both knew she had various ailments in conjunction with her MS coming and going into remission but wanted to forge ahead regardless. That never bothered me, I suppose that I found the idea of integrating my job (we work at a medical cannabis production facility) with my relationship at the time to be a healthy synergy. I had a heavy hand in taking care of the plants that were keeping her off heavier pain medications and allowing her to sleep through the night. I felt a sense of cooperation and ability to provide in a meaningful way.
Her folks adored me, cooked me dinner on several occasions invited me to events. Her younger sister who coincidentally played the role of "nurse" to my ex, fuckin hates my very presence. I think I pissed her off when I paid their electric bill one month. The "nurse" told me I was barred from staying the night because she wanted to play CoD the next morning in the living room topless... I had good chuckle at that one too.
Fast forward to the late Fall of 2022. I return from a 3 day trip to see some live shows and take a snooze on the couch. I suddenly awake to my ex coming inside and waking me up from a dead sleep. She is full cry face complete with runny nose, telling me that she basically made a mistake and needs "to do the selfish thing". My brain still turning on just accepted the news, but god damn did it hurt later. By New Years she flew back to CO to visit her ex BF who ends up getting fed up with her unable to move back fast enough and finds new tail. Meaning she's still stuck here.
To wrap this up, this broad still goes out of her way to say that she still loves me after all this time, while also giving me an advance notice that she's leaving the company. I am not her boss in any way I don't need to know. Fucking madness, I can't wait until she moves away for real this time lmfao.
Thanks for listening to my obviously inadept ramblings.
