iirc my wife told me that first Michelle slapped her sister for calling her a whore and then she slapped her back. That's the only physical confrontation they had. But you're absolutely right, physical abuse is a bitch (I should know, my old man used to hit hard) and it is definitely a deal breaker. I know that I maybe am asking too much of them and that it's possible they will never speak to one another.

But I also feel pain when they deny me the opportunity to spend perhaps the last moment I can have with them. With my family as a whole. It sucks man, it really does.

Yes, they do [know about the cancer], but when I spoke to my oldest daughter, she only said: "we will figure something out when you get back" ... I don't want to figure something out when I get back, I want for them to suck it up and try to get along for at least 3 or 4 months. And all of this because of some stupid high school boy drama ...

My boss made me leave a work-related note at the grave of my bereaved coworker’s relative

Three weeks ago one of my coworkers lost a relative. She has been off work on bereavement and family leave. Our boss isn’t happy with her being off for so long. Since it is out of his control and he doesn’t get to approve or deny her leave in this case (the HR department is in charge of that) I have been doing my best to ignore him whenever he complains.

Last week my boss gave me an envelope with my coworker’s on it and told me to leave it at the grave of my coworker’s relative. He said it was a condolence card at first, but I didn’t buy it because our work had already sent a card. When I asked him about it again, he said it was a note with some work-related items only she knows about and he needs answers ASAP and she won’t answer her (personal, not work) phone when he calls her. He gave me directions to the cemetery and everything.

Alison, I hope you don’t judge me for this but I did what he said and brought the envelope to the grave. I don’t know if she has seen it yet. I am horrified and disgusted with this. I am disgusted with myself. My boss threatened my job if I didn’t but it’s still no excuse. I don’t even have a year of work experience not counting internships in college. I was scared of being fired and so I did it. But now I’m disgusted with myself and I don’t know what I should do about this. I imagine telling my boss off or telling his boss but I’m scared to actually do it. I wish I had never delivered the letter but I don’t know what to do next. Any help or tips you or your readers have for me would be so helpful.

quote:

Thank you again. The updates you have posted on your site reminded me I should update you on what happened. I went back to the cemetery because I felt so bad, but the note wasn’t there and I felt sick to my stomach after that. I was hoping the gardener or someone from the cemetery cleared it away but either my coworker or someone in her family found it. I was going to tell HR but I didn’t get a chance because it was found first.

My coworker was so mad. She emailed other people at work to tell them what happened and came in to the HR office even though she was still on leave and made a scene. She left in tears. The note was clearly from our boss but he denied leaving it there and said I delivered it. He had emailed me about going to deliver something and I said “okay” but nowhere in the email did it say what the note was. He only told me when I went to get it from him.

He denied threatening my job and the HR department was angry at me for delivering the note to the grave instead of bringing it to them and telling them what happened. I never confronted him either or told HR about it. I was going to but my coworker went to them first. Someone else we work with (I don’t know who) told my coworker it was me who delivered it. She sent me an email saying I’m a horrible person. There were no threats in it and has been no other contact from her so there is nothing I can do about the email. She sent our boss a similar email. Besides telling people at work, she called a few of our clients and told them too. There was so much backlash from both my coworkers and the clients. I was fired along with our boss. No one from HR or any of my coworkers supported me and they blamed me as much as my boss.

I couldn’t get unemployment because I had not worked for a full 12 months and also because I was fired for misconduct. I have been looking for a new job but I haven’t found anything yet. I have been temping in a field that is related to the field my old job was in but is separate enough I feel I can make a new start. The field is also relevant to my degree. I am planning on leaving my old job off my resume after what happened and because I was there for less then a year. Even though this was my first job ever, I did an internship each summer when I was in college and between those and temping I’m hoping it’s enough experience to find a job. Given how the economy and job market is, I am hoping it won’t look strange for someone to have not found a full time job a year after they graduated. I don’t want to go back to the same field because my coworker told so many people from inside and outside of the company and every single person supported her and blamed me and our boss. I still live at home and feel fortunate that my parents have said I can stay until I can afford to live on my own.

I regret what I did and I’m still upset with myself over my actions. I wish I had not been fired but I realize there is nothing I can do about it no matter how I feel. I hope to make a new start in a new field. Thanks for being gracious with your answer. Thanks to all the people who left gracious comments.

I could see the guy being such a big doormat that he'd be unwilling to bring it up himself but it's weird that he would then argue with his gf about it. Not even just argue but flat out yell at her. It's like his "stand up for himself" sense is literally the opposite of what it should be.

I'm months behind but slowly catching up on this thread, I sometimes google the results to see if there's any updates and I saw that there was an update to a story posted a few months ago that went up yesterday. This is the one about the employee being forced to leave a note at a coworker's family members grave.


And now, the update.


The manager is a ghoulish dick but I really can't be upset about the ending to the story, she shouldn't have contributed to the harassment of a grieving coworker rather than just going to HR.

Sorry for making this unnecessary long, I'm not good at keeping texts short.

I met this girl a few months ago in a MMO (online game). We got along very well and would talk for hours everyday at the beginning. She's the nicest person I've met and everything felt great at first, but then "real-life" things caught up to me and our daily chatting couldn't go on...

She didn't like that we started meeting up much less and it triggered several big emotional fights. We both suffer from depression but have opposite needs, she has her longing for closeness while I am what you could call an introvert. The constant social contact has become exhausting. I have tried to put my feelings aside and conform to her needs but that hasn't worked for me at all. In fact it has made everything worse. I hate being the bad guy so I ended up promising things I couldn't keep, which is partly because I didn't know myself well enough. I know it was a mistake. She knows about my need for alone-time now, but hasn't taken it seriously. That makes me pretty upset, but I try to ignore that feeling to not start more fights.

I am very scared of the role I have in her life and I feel bad for being scared. She doesn't have any other close friends or anybody else that really cares for her, and she has been suicidal before. If her deep-depression period returns she says it is likely she will kill herself because she can't go through something like that again. Sometimes she mentions suicidal thoughts and they have been worrying me a lot. She also mentions she is afraid she will lose me, that she "messes everything up and nobody likes her", but I told her I wouldn't do that. Now I feel like I have a huge responsibility. I don't actually want to end it, but I realized about a week ago that the friendship on her terms is not sustainable, and I doubt she can be content with giving me the space I need since she has been ignoring it so far.

I don't know how I should be feeling about this "responsibility". I don't have much experience. She is very attached to me and I suspect she has a crush on me as well. About two weeks ago she started sending me hearts and kisses a lot, and saying that she loves me every time we talk. The first time I thought it was a friendship one-time thing so I replied that I love her too and some other nice things which felt genuine at the time. I didn't think I overdid it but she probably took it as a confirmation of me feeling the same strong feelings as her because she has kept doing it since that day. I hosed up again.

I'm so conflicted. I honestly feel like a bad person for even feeling this way, I mean we are friends... I don't want to be one of those people who are only there when it fits them, but lately I'm becoming the person who doesn't "bring anything to a relationship" since I don't stay online long enough to talk. It's just so tiring and stressful and I don't know what to do. Sometimes I seriously feel that all of this is my fault, that I should stop being so selfish and start being a better friend, but after writing it down here it seems like it's not only my problem. I should probably add that she isn't as bad as I'm making her sound, she is generally very considerate and listens to me, just not on this particular topic. I suspect it's because she simply doesn't understand that I'm serious.

How do I talk to her without upsetting her and triggering some deep depression/anxiety period? I'm seriously worried I could do that because I know she is very worried I will abandon her. Also I need some advice on how to handle her "love" for me, would our relationship be repairable at all if I made it clear I don't have any romantic feelings? If not, what do I do?

TL;DR; Female friend in MMO with life-long depression and suicidal thoughts is very attached to me/possibly has a crush. It's exhausting for me to chat so much and I don't know how to tell her that I need space.

Edit: I don't actually play the game much anymore since I don't have time. I chat with this person through a phone app most of the time now. She's not just a gaming friend since we have been talking daily for months.

Take the son, forget the daughters. Let them deal with the inevitable guilt that their father died with a broken heart which will forever haunt them. If you feel generous you write them letters to be delivered like ten years later expressing how hurt you were but that you still loved them to the end and that you forgive them and boom you've just run circles around your family.

This makes me unfathomably angry. Someone needs to slap that 16 year old girls poo poo.

My (29/M) girlfriend (30/F) is a photographer. She posts pictures of the same people, mainly her closest friends and family, they're mostly males, and it makes me feel bad. She also has a portfolio website containing pictures of many guys and zero of me. Her social media behavior is making me feel bad too, she would like other people's posts and pictures but not mine. It makes me feel jealous and I wonder if this is too petty to even be brought up. It's not like she's hiding me either, but I am still jealous of her male friends and family members because they are more exposed on her website and social media that me, her own boyfriend of 3 years. I've always played around the idea of bringing this up but I'm afraid it would be too petty of a problem and it would just make me look immature. Please give me some advice.

TL/DR: photographer girlfriend posts pictures of male friends and family members online and rarely of me. Her main website portfolio has none of me.

quote:

have you told her you want her to post pictures of you online as well? if she doesn't know you want her to, you can't expect her to just do it. maybe she doesn't think you'd be willing to!

bring it up and tell her you wanna take part too good luck!

as for the liking stuff on FB and such.. don't take it personally. whenever i like people's photos, etc, i'm just doing it absentmindedly so i'm sure she is too. or maybe she just likes their work if it's photography?

OP posted:

She doesn't like stuff online often but when she does, they're from her friends. As far as the first part of your answer, I thought about telling her but at the same time I feel like that should already be a given. I am the closest person to her, I'm her boyfriend so I felt the need to not even ask, I already expected her to know. It feels embarrassing to even ask lol.
