His Mom Got His Boyfriend A Job At Her Office, But His Boyfriend Missed The Start Date Twice, And He’s Furious That His Boyfriend Tarnished His Mom’s Reputation
This 28-year-old guy and his boyfriend, who is also 28, have been dating for one year. But, out of the past 12 months, his boyfriend has been unemployed for eight.
This made their lives extremely stressful as his boyfriend continued struggling to find a job. However, he eventually spoke to his mother about it, and she was actually able to land his boyfriend a weekend job at her office.
“Where she’s been for 35 years and is set to retire at the end of this month,” he said.
So, his boyfriend interviewed there and actually landed the job! Sure, it was not his boyfriend’s ideal position, and it did not start for another month, but it was a job that paid nonetheless. And this was going to allow his boyfriend to start paying some bills and contributing to household expenses.
Well, during the month leading up to the job’s start date, his boyfriend was actually offered two other full-time jobs.
“And they were jobs that aligned better with his career goals. This was perfect,” he explained.
“My boyfriend started his full-time job yesterday.”
However, his boyfriend recently showed him an email thread with a recruiter from his mother’s office, and he found out that his boyfriend had first missed the start date twice.
The first time was two weeks ago, and his boyfriend rescheduled it. Then, his boyfriend wound up missing it a second time and emailed the recruiter– informing them that he had accepted another role at a different company that better fit his career goals.

This seriously shocked him, and he was embarrassed by how his boyfriend had interacted with the people from his mother’s company.
“My mother– who I barely have a relationship with– went out of her way to help us,” he reasoned.
“She spent the last days at her humble job of 35 years advocating for a job for a new boyfriend of mine, who missed his start date twice and who didn’t even have the courtesy to send a timely email to the job to let them know he had found something else.”
That’s why he’s now really upset about his boyfriend’s actions. They spoke about what happened with the job, too, and his boyfriend tried to apologize. His boyfriend also claimed not to know how he missed those start dates.
“But this time, sorry doesn’t feel enough. This feels like a hug slap in the face,” he vented.
So, he pointed out how it wasn’t exactly a secret that his boyfriend wasn’t thrilled about the job opportunity. However, he claimed that his boyfriend didn’t need to disregard the people who were helping him the minute he found a better position.
Since then, he has not spoken to his boyfriend, either. And now, he’s been left wondering whether he’s acting like a “drama queen” or if he really has a right to be upset about his boyfriend missing the start date twice.
Can you understand why he’s so upset about his mom’s reputation being tarnished at work? How would you feel in this situation? Does he have a right to be angry?
