My girlfriend was looking for a job when a friend of mine told me his mother needed someone to help with her shop. I told my girlfriend, and she was willing to do it. The woman is a very good person. She pays her well and even gives her allowances for food and lorry fare.
I think my girlfriend loves the job because since she started, I haven’t heard her say she’s using the job to look for a better one.
The problem is, every evening when I get there, there is this one big car or another. Cars that no one in my family can afford. Cars that I can only dream of without touching. I mean mansions on wheels. These cars would be parked there while their owners have conversations with my girlfriend.
Sometimes they see me and they leave. There’s this man I’ve seen there more than twice. The first day, he thought I was the owner of the shop from the way I was behaving, so he quickly left when I sat down. These days, he sees me and doesn’t act like he’s seen a human being. I don’t know what my girlfriend has told him.
We’ve fought about this issue, and she told me, “Am I the one who calls them to come around? I can’t stop them from coming.”
I retorted, “Then stop entertaining them. Stop making them feel they can stay and talk to you. Stop laughing at their silly jokes. Be unfriendly, and they won’t come around again.”
When A Man Cheats And Doesn’t Disrespect You, It Should Be OK
She said she can’t be unfriendly to people she expects to buy from her, so the best thing for me is to stop coming to see her in the evening if I don’t want to see what I don’t want to see.
She makes the situation worse for me. I expect her to assure me that nothing will happen, but she takes it as me being controlling and trying to dictate to her. She’s been working at this place for only four months, but cars line up there every evening. One leaves, and another comes.
To make a long story short, I want to tell my friend to tell his mother to fire her so I can have peace in my relationship. If she keeps seeing what I can’t give her, one day, she will desire to have a taste, and that will be the end of our relationship. It feels diabolical to want my girlfriend to lose her job, but what other option do I have left?
