So after a few months into my separation I got a lot of help from a female coworker. It started with just little coffee meetups and quickly it turned serious and intimate. It was great until she became a bit needy and my divorce was getting messier and so I told her I needed to stop and refocus. She took it ok and we still talked and flirted from time to time.

Fast forward to a couple weeks ago after a lot of flirting on her part when I helped her with some errands and a few drunk dials on her part wishing me good night in different outfits she tells me she’s in a relationship now. So I was like ok and being the gentleman I backed off and kept things professional and stopped talking to her outside of work related matters.

Went on a few dating websites and well the quality was low for what I can offer and they all seem to want a big part of my wallet in terms of travel and being spoiled etc. Didn’t matter the age range so I figured just go for the young ones without kids haha. Then I got a text from a friend who was talking about her and his friend who she was dating. Turns out they were dating for the last year or so which means he was seeing her before me! I got some basic info about the guy and well financially I’m a big upgrade for her and I think she was just trying to climb the social ladder. Now I just feel like shit and wanted to vent.

Thanks for reading
