I hope you enjoy this story. Partner was unfaithful so her mother evicted her and allowed me to reside in their residence indefinitely, then my former partner began spreading rumors that I was having an affair with her mother. So her own mother disowned her and her friends cut her off. Hi, I, 22 and my ex-22f. Cheated on me and her mom kicked her out. Her mom, 43F, said I could live in the house forever if I wanted. Ida if I stay.

Here is some backstory. I met my ex-let's call her Lisa so it's less intense for me. Writing X is still a lot, you know. We met in high school we started dating when we were 13. It was great her mother liked me and I loved Lisa. She was funny, smart and was gorgeous. We spent a lot of time at her place. I was so happy back then.

I don't have parents so I lived with my grandma, but she was more than enough. she was strong, funny in a crude way, lively and a straight-up badass. I was 17 when she passed and I moved in with her and her mom. I was devastated, but they were very inviting. My relationship with Lisa grew it was amazing, they helped me through it. Lisa was my rock. It was the three of us since until now. Every day was similar after our HS graduation.

Her mom would drop Lisa off at university and then her mom let's call her Jen. Writing her mom over and over in this rant will be weird. Jen and I would go to work, we work on the same street and then we'd leave at 5 p.m. and go home Lisa would be home by then, then ate dinner together. It was like that for the past two years. I know for some that sounds boring but I enjoy stability. I was happy and we were saving up money for our own place, a good place. Jen never asked for rent but she always took it because she knows how important it is to me that I contribute. Lisa and Jen were my family.

I was going to marry Lisa and Jen was my best friend. I know it's weird that my best friend is my ex-GF's mom. I found out she was cheating on me last month. She accidentally sent me a text that was clearly meant for him. I was devastated and started crying it was unbearable. Jen heard me I showed her my phone and she just held me. Lisa came home and instead of apologizing or making an excuse, She said with Venom I have a new and better man pack up it repeats in my head most days.

Jen snapped there was screaming and swearing Jen ended up telling Lisa she had 30 minutes to pack up. I just hid in the office and locked the door I just couldn't handle it. I was paralyzed in that one spot. Lisa left about two hours later. Jen held me and said this is your home for as long as you want if you want to move I'll miss you, but you'll still be family. If you want you can stay forever. Being told that really helped me feel safe and took away some of my nerves. Some time when I wasn't around Lisa and her dad came by to pick her stuff up.

Lisa and Jen have had a couple major fights but Jen made it so I happened to never be around for most of them. Lisa and her friends are giving me a hard time sending hurtful text messages and I just don't know how to deal with that. Lisa has been switching between calling me a loser for living with Jen and asking me for a second chance. I am never getting back together with her, I don't love her anymore. I have succeeded in avoiding anyone on ones with Lisa, but I'm eventually going to have to talk to her. Lisa has been living with her dad, he has tried to mediate but that was not accepted by me. Jen's stance is whether I live here or not her daughter is not invited to live at home. Her actions are disgusting and she needs severe and permanent consequences.

She told me that she stills loves Lisa but not the person she has become. I want to continue to live here for the time being. I sleep in the old office which is now my room and our old room is now the study. It's the only home I've ever had and Jen is my best friend. A lot of people in my life think I'm responsible for Lisa being kicked out. That's what got me questioning myself did I take her home away. Ida if I continue to live with my ex's mom. Sorry for ranting in my grammar and I left out chunks because I'm still struggling where just missed it.

Sorry it's so long comments where Op has replied. You slash Redneck Debutante. NTA don't disrespect Jen by allowing Lisa to decide who lives in the house. Your family and this is your home. That was Jen's decision. It's not like she's going to welcome Lisa back just because you leave anyway. Boop, I won't but being told something gets to you somehow. I appreciate everything she has ever done for me and I do my best to show it.

You slash Oprah underscore Ponefree. NTA, stay at Jens for a while, she's clearly your mom now. But most people need to move out of their parents home eventually. Work, save up, get yourself a good place, and you fucking call her every Wednesday and Sunday after you move out, and have dinner with her as often as you can. When you say goodbye at the end of the phone calls or dinners, you tell her I love you mom. Hoop, thank you I will. I plan on living there until I can get a place that I can call my own, I only want to have move once.

No matter what I'm going to keep that relationship it means the world to me. Never had a mom but I think she is. Update, July 3, 2025. A lot happened. A few days after my post-Lisa came by we talked just the two of us for the first time since she was kicked out. She started off by apologizing but immediately tried shift blame on me and then her mom. Then asked if she could have a second chance, I said no, and then she asked if I was

sleeping with her mom. I said no that she is the only person I have ever been intimate with and that Jen was basically my mom. Then she said, so you're still in love with me a smugness that drove me insane. I remember exactly what I told her I don't love you the second I found out you cheated on me it disappeared and that I would rather drink three liters of elephant piss every day for the rest of my life before I would get back together with her. She slapped me and then went to the backyard and had it out with Jen. She said some of the most vile things I've ever heard in my life and I won't write it down and I definitely won't speak it to her mom. It was disturbing. Then Jen in a very calm voice said that she was no longer her daughter and told her she was trespassing and to get

out Lisa looked shocked and then stormed off. The second Lisa left Jen had a meltdown at last hours I was pissed off at Lisa. She confided in me that she hates her daughter now and doesn't want a relationship with her anymore. She started going to therapy and told me around two weeks ago that she is disowning Lisa and it's what's best for her mental health. That her therapist said she can still love her daughter and not want anything to do with her. I've been supporting her the best I can I like being helpful. Lisa made less and less attempts to contact me. She is living with her dad. Five days ago I got a text from Lisa's best friend, let's call her Kate. She was one of a few of Lisa's friends who didn't harass me and actually picked me in the breakup. We've talked a few times since the breakup to console me. She asked if she could come by with some of Lisa's friends so they can apologize. I was apprehensive, but this woman is a straight shooter and I was curious. So they came by and Kate said thank you for letting them come over. Then the other three women each took turns apologize. to me, then they apologized to Jen for everything then dropped a bomb.

They didn't know she was cheating. Apparently Lisa has been telling people that she only cheated because I was sleeping with her mom and that's why she was kicked out. I asked why they thought I would ever do something like that and why are they apologizing now. They said it was easier to think I was a cheater than their best friend was a lying Sienti, their word not mine. They told me they had cut her out. I must have looked like I didn't believe them so they all showed me their text messages to Lisa and their social media. It seemed really important to them that I believe them and yeah they definitely did. They were not gentle about it to say the least. I accepted their apology mostly. They all left but Kate, Kate and Jen went to the

backyard I don't know what they talked about but they were both smiling when they came back. I thanked Kate for setting them straight and being on my side throughout the breakup. She said she was just following her moral compass. I'm doing much better now and I don't plan on moving out until the time is right for Jen and me. Jen has become my best friend and we support each other. I have a routine I follow that really helps also I started sleeping better. I mostly just wrote this because it helps me clear my mind. Next story, New Hire spent three weeks complaining about everything in the office and made our life living hell, then reported a man with Down syndrome for escutal harassment.

So we went to HR and she quit with a list of demands for free stuff. I, 35M, have been working in this office for three years. We recently hired a new girl, 25F, and she sits diagonally in front of me so I can see her at my desk and vice versa. We are around one meter apart. She has been working for three weeks and has been trying to control our office habit based on her liking. Here are the issues that has been having to be.

happening and what triggered me to do what I did. 1. I have an unhealthy eating habit and snacking a lot during work. She mentioned twice, jokingly, said how I tempted her for eating cakes and how can I stay skinny even though I eat like pigs. I offered her some, she refused saying she's trying to lose weight. Fine, I stopped snacking on my desk, but my other colleagues and I still have lunch at desk when we are quite busy.

Then by the end of the first week, she reported to HR and say people should not have lunch or eat at desk because it can be unhygienic and the crumbs might fell into keyboard etc. and attract bugs. She also mentioned how she was annoyed by me eating ice cream, cakes, bread, etc. during work hours and it disturb her because she's trying hard to lose weight. So HR sent us all emails and now everyone in the office, everyone can no longer eat anything on our desk. 2. On her second day, she complained that the girl sits next to her, Jane, was using a very strong perfume and the scent nauseated her. Jane did wear strong perfume indeed, but it wasn't that horrible. All of us could tolerate Jane and suddenly because this new girl couldn't tolerate her and Jane was the one that has to change. Three. Between our team, six of us collect $10 weekly to buy lottery. One of the guy in our team is Muslim and he doesn't gamble, so he never participated but yet he never discouraged or criticized us.

We offered this girl to join us and she criticized us about how gambling is bad and say it's very unprofessional to be collecting money to gamble in office environment. She actually brought this to HR, arguing the harm and risk and if we happened to win millions of dollars and did massive exodus, it would be harmful for the company. Luckily HR didn't do anything about it. 4. The Muslim guy prays twice a day in our stationary room. Unfortunately we don't have praying room in the office. He has got his praying mat and some other stuff in our stationary room and it has been there since I start working. She suggested him to move it somewhere as he shouldn't put personal belongings in a common area. She told the other girl in our team that the old Matt was not pleasant to look at.

Okay. What happened today, our desk's layout is shaped like L and my desk is next to a glass window. In our team, there are seven people excluding her, and all of us are sun hater. We always pull down the shade and especially the guys sitting on the other corner. They said if the window is opened, the sun would glare on their computer screen in the afternoon and making them can't see their screen very well. This girl has been complaining how our corner is too dark and gives bad vibes and she needs to have the shape. opened up. She mentioned how the sun will makes people happier and increase productivity.

I couldn't stand her anymore so I stood up from my desk and say, I didn't yell, look, insert her name, you have been here for less than a month but you keep telling us what to do. We have been changing our habit to accommodate you, but then you keep pushing things. You can't keep telling us what to do. I think the best thing is for you to move to sit where the HR people sits because it's always bright there and you are closing. with them than to us she then said I hate women and I'm bullying her and she is telling our manager and HR about this. Am I the ah here? Did I bully her? Is it acceptable for new hire to tell older colleagues to do these things? Update 1, small not so irrelevant update.

I was just talking about this with my colleague who worked downstairs in storage room. I don't often go there, but this new girl has to go there every day as part of her job, and he told me a story. In my company, we hire a guy with Down syndrome to do some restocking, let's call him Bob. Apparently a couple of days ago, an older lady who work in the kitchen was wearing a Pikachu apron. When Bob saw the kitchen lady,

he yelled Pikachu then ran and touched the apron, so he would have accidentally touched her her breast too. According to my colleague, the older lady just laughed and didn't make much of a fuss. The new girl witnessed this and saved. Bob has sexually harassed the old lady and she would report him to HR, LOL. She complained that Bob's behavior is very inappropriate and unsafe. Update 2, wow, I didn't expect this to blow up, I'm still getting so many messages and comments. I'm not a native English speaker, and now I understand that it's not appropriate to use the

word girl when referring to a 25-year-old woman. I didn't realize this before, thanks for the heads up, Reddit. I showed this post to two of my colleagues, and they encouraged me, and I also felt it was necessary to clarify a few things to be fair and to respond to some of your questions and comments. She actually complained about a lot of other things that I didn't mention earlier, mostly because I didn't think they were very interesting, and honestly, a few of them even benefited us. One, okay, so apparently wearing perfume at the workplace is not allowed.

Got it. I guess Jane's just been lucky that no one's ever complained before. 2. Her comment about the Muslim guy's prayer mat was more about the way it was positioned in the storage room. Everything else is neatly arranged in wooden cupboards, but in one corner, there's a small table with the prayer mat and some religious items. She felt it looked out of place and thought personal items shouldn't be in public slash shared areas. That said, the prayer mat has been there since I started, and then, no one in the office has raised an issue about it for the past three years. Three, about the skinny or eats like a pig comments, I'm totally fine with it.

It's just a part of our internal banter, and I'm the only person who get body shamed, if you want to call it that way, and I do allow people to do so. We don't comment on other people's bodies or eating habits, and no one is being body shamed. 4. There was no HR policy that says we can't eat at our desks, and nobody has complained about it until now. Everyone does it even in other teams like IT. The new hires issue doesn't seem to be about allergies or food smells. Her main complaint was she's trying to lose weight and doesn't like watching people eat.

She never brought up concerns about computer damage or bugs until she took it to HR 5. Yes, she's currently on a six-month probation period. This is not her first job but her second job. Apparently worked on that company for two years. The first job was in a different city, and she praises that company a lot. Six. I didn't mention this earlier because it kind of worked out in my favor, but one of my colleagues asked me to include it. On her second day, she asked our manager to move a cabinet closer to her desk.

That cabinet used to be on the other side of the room, and I had to walk over. every time I needed to use it. So now it's more convenient for me. But of course, the people who used to sit near it including the colleagues who asked me to mention this are pretty annoyed, since they use it just as much as she does. She never mentioned about mobility issue or anything like that. She just wants the cabinet to be close to her. Funnily, our manager complies and get the cabinet moved. Seven. She complained about how the IT guy who sits behind her has got a really loud ringtone. I personally too find it a bit annoying, but he doesn't often receive phone calls and it wasn't too bothersome for us.

8. She complained how one of our colleague was putting on headphones when working and she dislike it when she has to tap on a shoulder when he needs to talk to him. She literally told him, do you mind not putting headphones while we work, because I don't want to be keep tapping your shoulders every time I need to talk to you and it is disrespectful towards the others, something along the line. We usually just send a message on MS teams when we want to talk to him and he's on headphones. He suggested her the same, but she said she doesn't want to. Nine, she complained about one Filipino woman, I almost typed girl again here, LOL, who brought a smelly lunch to work. Yes, I kind of agree with this complaint. To be fair,

the Filipino woman actually didn't do this very often and she usually have late lunch around 2 p.m. people finish their lunch. Few of my colleagues and I also dislike it, but we thought nobody is perfect, and since she doesn't bring that food often, we just put up with it. 10. Also my colleague told me he heard how she criticized few of our Asian colleagues for eating rice with spoon instead with fork, why does this bother her? 11. She complained about our kitchen bin does not have lid. It doesn't bother us, but we can see her point. 12. She complained. how we should have coffee machine. Okay, this one would be great. 13. She allegedly reported a female colleague for wearing stilettos to the office,

calling it inappropriate work attire. She also apparently reported the kitchen lady for wearing a Pikachu apron, saying it was unprofessional. L.O.L. 14. Bob has down syndrome or some sort of intellectual disability. I don't think he was malicious or intentionally being inappropriate. He probably doesn't have the capacity to think that it is not okay to touch other people. He didn't touch our new hire though. She just witnessed him touching another woman and immediately flag him as a potential sexual harasser. One of my colleagues genuinely thinks she might be having some mental health issues. Clearly, people commenting here are from different parts of the world and come from various cultural backgrounds. It's interesting to see how some

things are totally normal in one place but not okay in another. For instance, we've been eating at our desks for years, but apparently according to some of you, that's a no-no in some workplaces. Vailp. Sadly, it's not okay for us anymore either, now genuine question here. Excluding the perfume thing, would you complain this much within three weeks of your initial employment? I personally think we should just put up with some little things sometimes. Life is not not perfect, let alone office. Thanks again for all your input, and yet definitely going to HR on Monday. Update 3. Sorry haven't been able to update the post earlier due to personal reason.

As per most of the suggestions here, I decided to report her to HR with my colleagues and our team. So on Monday morning, few of my colleagues and I had a discussion regarding this new hire behavior and we decided to talk to our line manager first before HR. However, our manager couldn't come to work that day, legit reason. The new hire also didn't come to work, she called in sick. We then changed our plan and decided to go to HR straight away. One of the IT guy joined us too as our new hire had harassed him with a lot of unnecessary IT requests and demanded him to make a lot of changes in our IT system.

So we offered him to join us to report her to HR. He suggested that rather than complaining of him, about how she's annoyed everyone with her complaints, we should pretend to be concerned about her struggle to adjust to our environment and get HR to talk to her because we wanted her to have a good experience working with us. So few of us then had a meeting with HR, and guess what? HR people were also annoyed by her low.

They didn't say it directly but subtly mentioned that she had been lodging a lot of unnecessary complaints. We also suggested that she might need to see a psychologist as she might be having some sort of internal personal crisis, aka crazy, that lead her to make all of these complaints. The IT guy asked if she showed any signs of these behavior when HR interviewed her, and they said she asked few detailed questions about the work culture here and also complained about some stuff, parking, etc. But they didn't really think much at that time and she had glowing reviews from her references, probably because they want to get rid of her low. The HR team said that they will discuss this matter and HR manager will have one-to-one meeting with her the next time she shows up. However, that never happened because she sent her resignation letter the following day, along with a very long list of complaints and things she wanted us to change.

The most ridiculous thing is she actually sent the same email to the big boss, complaining out workplace to be unsafe, unhygienic, non-inclusive, misogynist, backwards and radiating bad vibes. The HR lady who told us this found it strange that she didn't use the word toxic. One thing the HR found amusing was she mentioned how her workplace should provide a lot of free stuff such as bottled beverages, fruits, snacks, espresso coffee machine, dining vouchers, feminine hygiene products, petrol voucher, etc. In conclusion, good riddance.
