Journal TechnoLust's Journal: Life changes... Brandy and Job 5
Monday Brandy wasn't feeling well, so I went to eat and told her I'd call before I left the restaurant and bring her something home. I called and she said she didn't want anything. I came home and she was sitting on the couch looking mad and upset. I asked what was wrong and she said "nothing". I told her not to lie and asked if she just didn't want to talk about it. She said she didn't. So I said ok and told her Mandy wanted us to come over and asked if she wanted to go. She said she would since she was moving back home the next day. I asked why. She said her boyfriend had started asking about guys she'd slept with before they started dating. He asked about me, and she told him we had slept together WAY BEFORE they started dating. He flipped out and said she was a liar for not telling him and if he'd known that he would "never have let her" move in with me. (Excuse me, "let" her?) Then he said, "How do I know you don't get drunk and fuck him now that you're living with him?" (Apparently he thinks she'd have to be drunk to sleep with me. If it weren't for making it worse on her I'd tell him the details of the first time and how we were not drunk and she initiated it.) She told him to call me and ask if we'd done anything since they've been together, but he said I'd just lie so I could keep sleeping with her. (Trust issues much?) So she moved back home with her parents to appease him. I told her it was stupid and he was being controlling and she was going to be miserable, but she called her dad anyway.
My friend came over yesterday to tell me he'd been laid off. Brandy's dad showed up soon after and she left. He and I went out with Mandy and started drinking. I went to watch Mandy play guitar at this club and he went downtown. I ran into a girl I knew there and when I was leaving I mentioned going downtown to meet my friend for drinks. She asked to come with me. So we went downtown to drink with him and then came back to my place. She spent the night, so I wasn't alone, which was good. When she left this morning, I just rolled over and went back to sleep. I was awakened to the headhunter I've been working with lately calling. She said the place she'd been talking to about a permanent job for me was writing the offer letter and was going to email it to me to sign and fax back. I checked my email, read the offer, signed it and sent it back. I start May 1st.
I also had an email from Brandy saying, "I miss Atlanta. You were right, but I'm not leaving him because I think his intentions are good... at least I hope so." I wrote her back and told her she could come back anytime, and that she needs to look at his actions, not make assumptions about his intentions. I mean, if he cared about her, he wouldn't make her leave her new life and go back to a small town where she has nothing going for her and give up her new friends. Mandy even offered to let her stay with her, but she wouldn't because he doesn't even want her going out to eat or drink with me. I can understand him being jealous of me, but it should be her decision and if she says nothing is going on, he should trust her. If he doesn't, he shouldn't be with her.

2. I may not be popular for saying this, but Brandy should have just lied. Her sleeping with you was in the past, her boyfriend was already wary of her living with you, he has no reason to know that she slept with you in the past even if they were playing the "how many lovers had you had in the past" game.
She shouldn't have mentioned you unless and until her boyfriend specifically asked if she had slept with you in the past unless she was trying to get him jealous
