Her mother is trying to marry her off to a man on the other side of the world just because he's seen a couple nudes.

That woman cannot be reasoned with.

There was no driving under the influence, that's why I called in.

Yes but it's been over a year.

>And if they ask for details, always lead with diarrhea runny and made a mess in the bathroom but I feel too sick to clean it up right now. They won't ask for details again.

Yeah I personally would’ve immediately asked to talk about the ice cream situation as soon as I heard about it. Letting the doubt and anxiety bubble up and then exploding randomly is a big issue OP needs to look into fixing.

I think it's so you can replace the foam, tbh...

A lot of modern sofas have a plasticky lining on the sofa cushion covers that also doesn't wash well.

Back in my party days, the one thing that scared me more than anything was allowing myself to call out of work because I was hungover, or up all night, or just wasnt in the condition to work.

Going to work was my punishment because I knew if I called out once, it would be much easier to do it twice, then three times, then ultimately my life is a mess.

Have you taken other days off because of drinking or drugging? You might have bigger problems waiting for you.

It’s what I deserve

I'd rather see your wife stay and take every damn penny you have.

Snooping through the phone is a bit rough in my opinion, but immediately going off on the boyfriend, assuming the worst is an even bigger issue. If they lack the trust to actually talk about this stuff or broach the topic with more tact then it shows just much more time they need, or at the very least how much of a trust issue op has.

I don’t think you were in the wrong as much as you do. I hope you are ok and I’m rooting for you both and your love.

Ha that's great! I might just do that.

I’m trying to do what I think is best for my daughter.

It’s not perfect and unfortunately it hurts my wife but it’s the best I think I can do

So maybe make an effort to stop being scum instead of being… whatever this is?

My coworker lost his job, his license, and is currently in jail because of repeat DUI. Not funny. Don't drink the night before work.

I think you know it all now. I’m scum

Oh Jesus. You cheated when your wife had an infant?? And you want to take a child that young away from their mother? Good lord when does it stop getting worse?

Wasn't this just post like a few days ago?

Edit: yes it was after checking OP profile. You are one interesting individual to put it nicely.

Thanks

Thanks

Saw this story before, this is still messed up.

I usually am to, just better to be sure I'm fully there.

Eh, I've worked at jobs, before, where 'I'm too drunk to come in' was a perfectly acceptable excuse. But you really have to know your manager(s) for that one to work.

That being said, I'm going to agree with some of the other posters: 99% of the time, your manager doesn't need to know why you're calling out. A simple 'I can't come in today' works just fine. Doesn't matter if it's because of illness, a family emergency, or your cat's birthday. They don't need to know.

Hm, no, actually everyone does, otherwise I will cry and then die.
