Need to be petty for a minute- rant!

Cassi, on September 26, 2019 at 4:59 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 30

Uhg... I just need to rant and be petty for a moment.....

Back story: my FH has a great gig. They pay him very well and he has a company car, phone, they pay for his insurance and gas.... Its an amazing job... bad side... his ex of 3 years works with him. Her family actually owns the company. I don't like this girl I have never been a jealous type but this girl has done everything in her power to insert herself in our lives... examples:

when we first started dating she tried getting back with him and he turned her down and she said she was pregnant... she wasn't.

a few months into our relationship I went on a cruise for my best friends wedding and he couldn't come.. she sat in his ear the whole time telling him I was cheating on him.

she started dating someone and he hit her and she left him and she came crying to my FH.

When we went to TN last year looking at our venue she called him and was crying cause their manager was being "mean" and threatening to fire her -_-

She told FH she wanted to fight me once because I "looked at her funny" at the gym.

Then we went to a company Christmas party last year and she was acting all buddy buddy with me cause she was dating someone with a kid and was talking about how amazing it is being a mom trying to bond with me because I am a mom. Then runs into some of FH's old friends that were around back when they dated and went on to talk crap about me and him and saying he only broke up with her because she lost a bunch of weight and he was insecure... then got so hammered started trying to hang on FH and kiss him.. we left.

there is so much more but these are just SOME of the MANY incidents.

Now my FH is a saint. He despises her but acknowledges he works for her parents so stays corgule but always reiterates to her they are exes and not friends. They work together and thats it.

Well she reaches out to me today and asks if we are registered anywhere... reluctantly I told her amazon.. I try to be corgle too because I know FH has it good there. She messages me and says everyone at AFI (the company he works for) is going in on a gift for us. I thanked her and told her to extend my gratitude to everyone else as well. then she says "I got something special on my own for you guys too" i AGAIN THANKED HER AND BRUSHED IT OFF.

I got the notification that something was purchased and I go look and she got this chess set that my FH registered for (he loves chess, I hate it but I know he loves it so I told him to put it on there). I KNOW this is super petty but I'm actually really agitated she got it for him. She tries to be all buddy buddy with him. Its a gift and I should be thankful (one less thing I have to buy him lol) but the fact it came from her because she knows how much he loves it... just seemed almost sneaky to me. Honestly I wouldn't think twice if any of his other exes did this but HER... everything she does she does it with ulterior motives to win him back and I'm just so fed up with it.

    Ah i know this all too well.

    it feels as if she's doing something underlying on purpose right because at this point there have been so many instances it's hard to think it isn't on purpose? in this case though i'd just thank her again for the gift and just brush her off again. your partner seems like a good guy who is well aware of boundaries and disdain for her.

    Send a thank you note with both of you playing chess! Haha
    I know FH has to be nice to her since they work together and her parents own the company.....but i feel like she is doing and saying these things because she feels like she can. Nobody has ever tried to stop her. Where are the boundaries? You will be married soon, are you going to be ok with her doing these things when you are married? Some sort of boundary needs to be placed

    Totally agree! Just because they work together and he works for her parents doesn't mean she can make you and him uncomfortable.

    I agree with Futuremrsv. Technically her trying to kiss him at the holiday party can be taken as sexual harassment. Her behavior is entirely inappropriate and boundaries need to be placed. It's definitely a tricky situation because it's her family's business, so I doubt any serious action would be taken against her. Especially if she got away with that at a holiday party -- let's be real, everyone sees everything at those parties, so her family turned a blind-eye.

    It's also inappropriate that she comes to your FH with her relationship issues. I honestly doubt her attitude will change after you're married. I think there's a way he can set those boundaries from a truly professional workplace standpoint (i.e. not calling/texting outside of working hours, not discussing personal issues at work, etc.). The second she oversteps those boundaries, your FH can say, "I'm not comfortable with this." and walk away. She can't do anything about that -- it's not like she could tell a manager your FH is being a jerk for not being comfortable about something. If he can set that boundary, she might back-off.

    We have tried these things multiple times. She literally berated him on company chat (that everyone has access too) and was being so inappropriate and she got a talking to and that was it. Our plan is for him to start looking for a new job after wedding when we arent relying heavily on both incomes. I just cant with her its unreal. It's literally anything she can do to be inserted in our lives she does.

    Haha yes! Write the thank you not and be super happy about the gift. I’m sure she would love to see it bother you, probably why she did it. Keep rising above, it’s sounds incredibly frustrating but she will give up eventually! Hang in there!

    I'm glad to read this is your plan. She's completely inappropriate, but in a family business it seems unlikely anyone is going to put a stop to her behavior. I know you think his job has a lot of positive benefits, but they are not outweighed by working with a person like this woman. Once he finds a job and is ready to give notice, I do think he should tell the owners/HR/whoever that he loved his job and the company, but because of this woman's behavior he felt he needs to leave. Whether they are willing to do anything about her behavior or not, they should know it is having a negative impact on the business/work environment. For someone who's acting like she is, it isn't likely a single incident. She may be inappropriate with other employees (maybe not sexually suggestive, but perhaps abusive or bullying in other ways). Good luck to you!

    Dang, she sounds horrible and you are definitely a saint for putting up with it so long. IDK how your FH deals with her like that. Unfortunately it sounds like the only way to escape her is to get a new job. I know his job is wonderful, but it's not worth that.

    After he gets a new job I'd totally cut her off. Block on social media, block her phone number, etc.

    She sounds just terrible, tbh. I'm really sorry you have to deal with this crazy ex! I would've lost my mind a long time ago

    Agree with this 100%! I work in HR so this is the route he should take. You never know, he may get a bigger offer to stay and assurances that he would be left alone.

    Also agree that she is a stage 5 clinger. She legitimately needs therapy. I would also write a wonderful thank you note with a picture of you holding a chess piece flashing your new wedding band and engagement ring! Just know no matter what, you won and got your new life with your perfect guy!
