A netizen shared how he found out that his girlfriend was the reason why he didn’t get his dream job.
Here is the story
I just found out my girlfriend is the one who costed me my dream job
2 and a half years ago my girlfriend and I met when I was interviewing for a sales position at a company I always wanted to work at, it was basically my dream job. At the time we didn’t know each other, my girlfriend is the one who interviewed me.
I was told when they narrowed down their candidates there would’ve been a follow up interview. We spent a good half hour talking. Honestly, we hit it off. A little because part of the job is being friendly, a people person, so I wanted to show that I’m exactly like that and also because we had common interests and it was just a good vibe.
She told me she thinks I’d be a really great candidate and she’ll be letting her boss know once they go over the applications and start picking who’d be coming in for the nxt interview.
I left that place feeling SO optimistic only to find out I didn’t get selected to come in again. She emailed me letting me know her boss didn’t select my application. It crushed me so bad. You have no idea how depressed I was.
And she told me she was sorry she could tell how much I wanted it. Idk why but we kept talking. Anything to keep the conversation going until she asked if I’d like to get some coffee. For me it felt like one door closed but another opened so that’s why I said yes.
Then here we are, my girlfriend is 8 months pregnant. She tells me she’s been feeling guilty about this for a long time. Then with our son on the way she feels like she needs to make things right or else some bad karma could come to our baby. And admitted she lied to her boss. Didn’t tell him anything bad about me but she selected other candidates to present to him.
Yeah it was a long time ago but I was pissed tf off because that means I could’ve had a chance at my dream job this whole time but not only did she keep it but she lied. All because she really liked me and if I was working under her there was no way we could do anything outside of work.
ALL this because she hoped we’d have a chance to go out. I’m so LIVID!!! I couldn’t even talk. Couldn’t even look at her. Before yelling or doing something stupid I left the apartment. She’s texted me several times. Still haven’t responded. It’s not like she cheated on me, but this still affected the job I wanted to have way before she was in the picture.
I’m not sure if it’s an overreaction to be feeling like this but honestly it really has me reevaluating our whole relationship. The fact that this was kept from me for so long.
What am I supposed to do now? Is this really a huge red flag or am I just overreacting over the whole situation?
