Man cheats on wife and mistress

December 9, 2007

Dear Abby: I was the other woman for seven years, involved with a man I thought was perfect. His wife knew about me. It was never an issue until he fell in love with me. After that, things changed. He began making promises and told me as soon as his wife got herself together and found a job and a place to live, he'd divorce her and be with me forever.
Two years became three, three became five. Finally I realized he'd never do what he promised, so I ended it. The problem is, he's my boss. He was my best friend, and I still had some hope. We see each other every day because of work, although I am considered an independent contractor.
A year after I called it quits he finally filed for divorce. A few months later he met this new woman. He says he loves her, but I still hurt. Every day is another day of holding back my tears, another day to hide my pain.
Today I met a woman who is a member of a group I belong to. She mentioned she knows a man who would be "perfect" for me. She said they had dated a few times over the years. Abby, the number she gave me was his. While we were together he was seeing this other woman! I am devastated.
I am still in love with him. How can I make myself forget him when we still work together? Please advise. -- Weeping in Chico, Calif.

Dear Weeping: Forget him? People only learn from the mistakes they are willing to remember. Dry your tears and get out of that office NOW. As an "independent contractor" it's time to declare your independence. Finding a job with better benefits should be a breeze, considering that all you have to show for this one is heartache.

Now, here is what I would have written...
You're a stupid whore and you deserve what you get!! You were stupid enough to let him fool you for 7 years and how could you not think that he wouldn't cheat on you too?? Move on with your bad self. You know you deserve better, you just need to believe that!!

Now here's a blog with a lesson!!!

Surviving the Cut

The department I work in is a "merger synergy" department. What is "merger synergy"? "Merger synergy" is a department where there are duplicate jobs. Let me preface this a bit, I have been at my job 6 years, and in that 6 years I have been through 3 mergers. This last merger (the smallest company we bought) has been the worst. Our department was tagged a "merger synergy" group and therefore, will undergo some cuts. 37% of my department will be cut, to be exact. It's funny, because we have NEVER been busier. They are replacing full-time employee's with contractors.

We just had our first round of lay-offs. Yesterday, people received a letter saying that in 60 days their employment with the company will end, in that 60 days they can apply for new jobs within the company, and if they get a new job they can stay with the company. I did not receive a letter! Phew... I am safe for now. The next round of lay-off comes at the end of the year, that round I probably will not survive. We'll see what happens...I hope to have a new job by then.
