BeagleGal Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 ... when you're going thru/gone thru a heartbreaking breakup, know the circumstances of it and STILL some people feel the need to "alert" you or tell you about your ex. Unfortunately for me, my ex and I work for same company (not same office) and a lady from his office called me earlier this morning to help her with a report she was working on. Fine, I did. And I should add, this lady and I have always had a good rapport with one another and especially when she heard about the breakup/what ex did to me she has been supporting and checking to see if I'm okay, however, she's also fed me info on him AFTER I've told her and others to not tell me about him anymore. Anyways, today when she called me she told me she asked my ex how married life was and how come he didnt bring wedding cake in for the office. I felt and still feel so ****ty after hearing that. I knew he was getting married to OW, I knew it had happened and I've dealt with it or trying to. Dont remind me about it. This is the same lady who felt the need to tell me where the reception was being held at and when she told me it broke my heart as that's where ex and I looked at together for us.
TouchedByViolet Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Because she finds pleasure in your misfortune. Some people enjoy gossip... Often at the expense of others but that's nothing new.
Author BeagleGal Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 So f*cking insensitive. Especially after I've asked her and a couple of other people in the office to not tell me anymore about him. I know what I need to know, its done, I need to move on. But I feel each time I hear about him, I almost go one step back. Its awful. Because she finds pleasure in your misfortune. Some people enjoy gossip... Often at the expense of others but that's nothing new.
carhill Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I hope your co-worker's job skills are more substantial than her social skills Why? Who knows? I prefer to just accept it and think that he ate all his cake somewhere else, which is the truth, yes? Bye-bye
Author BeagleGal Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 Ha! Me too! Sheesh. And we dont work in the same office! That's what kills me - she calls me up for "help" and then has to divulge this bit of info on the ex. All I said was "good for him, bye" and hung up. And she's not the only one... a couple of other coworkers from my office have done the same. Maybe I should send a company wide memo telling everyone to please shut up when it comes to him... That he did, carhill, that he did. I hope your co-worker's job skills are more substantial than her social skills Why? Who knows? I prefer to just accept it and think that he ate all his cake somewhere else, which is the truth, yes? Bye-bye
PegNosePete Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 The same reason that skinny people tell dieters they've "lost enough" are "going to disappear", and "getting too thin", when they're only half way to their target. Schadenfreude!
