So that's a thing
My friend, my best friend, found out on Valentine's that her boyfriend of multiple years was cheating on her with a coworker. There were text messages, there were videos, there were GPS coordinates. You name it, she's found it because bf doesn't understand the first thing about basic cyber security. It's ugly. And she's trying, trying, trying to get past the lies and figure out a framework that'll let her keep the family she's built for herself & him and move foreward. And I respect the hell out of that ...but still ... I'm the burn it to the ground person. There are so many people in this crazy world, why break yourself apart for someone who abuses and takes advantage of you?
Today, us & another friend were talking about it. Other friend was all "build bridges, find common ground and a rule set that works for you" and I was all "fuck that. Burn those bridges and make sure the bastard can't follow you!"
It occures to me that I may have betrayal issues I should deal with sometime in the future. For now, though, I've offered my truck to move her in the dead of night and enough gasoline that they'll see the light from Down Town Crossing.
