So I recently left a job and whilst I was there I came across three pickme colleagues based on the things they told me about their partners/lives.

Colleague one was married with children and mentioned to me how her husband had never gone to her child’s school to collect the kid, so the teachers had no idea who the dad was, and that one day she asked her husband to collect their child after school, and I could hear this over the teams call as we were WFH, she kept telling him to hurry up and leave and where exaclty to go, and for some reason he was taking a long time to leave even though it was already 15mins past the time my colleague normally leaves to collect the child. What kind of a useless dad doesn’t get their child from school ever.

Colleague two and I shared a commute so we’d often sit next to each other and talk. She mentioned that she had been engaged for over 2 years and dating for 5 with no wedding date. Now colleague two was highly impressive she had multiple degrees, spoke over 5 different languages fluently and had worked and studied in many different countries. She also showed me photos of herself from a few years ago and she was very attractive back then. When I met her she looked about a decade older than her actual age. I never really connected the dots til one day I met her spouse on the commute home. He was a scrote in every sense of the word. My colleague introduced me to him and he was instantly very rude/annoyed by my presence. I assumed because I was WOC that he was just racist. So I just spoke to my colleague and avoided looking in his direction. During the entire commute the scrote took jabs at my colleague, called her dumb, pretended to box her, belittled something she said whilst talking to me, and to top it off the scrote was nowhere near as accomplished as my colleague in-fact he worked in a warehouse and looked like a junkie imo. The thing I realised was that this scrote had aged my once beautiful colleague so she no longer looked like she did a few years ago. Before I said goodbye to my colleague that day I overheard her ordering and paying for takeout for her and the scrote, he didn’t even offer to pay or cook for her the douche

Colleague three mentioned to me how she bought a house with her bf of 7 years and now they broke up and shes trying to buy his share of the house and for the time being he still lives there with her. She said she realised she didn’t want to marry or have kids with him, but then went onto say how they still act like a couple despite being broken up

Just foolishness all round
