My roommate just found out via Skype that her boyfriend whom she loves dearly is leaving for a year and they'll never see each other again. I don't kn - Hotkiss Sep 15, 08:21 65
- Let her cry for a little bit, but she's at work so she kind of has to suck it up right now. Take her out after work and let her let it out then. -- nm - Dano Sep 15, 08:33
- As much as it sucks, it's for the best. She shouldn't be with a guy like that. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Sep 15, 08:31 4
  - this could be taken many ways... -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:32 3

- If the whole Muslim thing was a deal breaker for both of them...this was a foregone conclusion yes? - Jim Sep 15, 08:28 14
  - theyve been dating for almost a year. they both refuse to do long dist, and they've both said over and over that it ends when it ends. - Hotkiss Sep 15, 08:31 7
    - Dano is right. Taking her out after work might be a good idea. -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 08:41
    - then she needs to man-up and go bang some other dude. -- nm - decline Sep 15, 08:35 1
      - like the doorman. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:36
    - ahhh (this makes it less of a dumping), just be a friend and listen and console -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:34

      - sure, but at least show a little sympathy, that stuff hurts like hell. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 08:31
    - absolutely. I get it. you just have to live through it. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:29
  - exactly. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:28
- dumped via Skype? She should go to his place and burn all his crap. -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:27 3
  - Well...maybe not *all* of it. - HdnAgnda Sep 15, 08:32

    - it sounds like they are both in Tunis. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:29
- She loves him dearly? Wants to be with him the rest of her life? -- nm - amoxy Sep 15, 08:25
- poor thing, just let her talk and cry. just listen. (also, why did he tell her at WORK?) -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 08:23 4

- honestly ... let her cry. a person has to go through it, even though it sucks. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:22 13
  - ps. two weeks notice for a breakup is bullshit. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:23 12
    - why? it's a job being in relationship. can't we follow the same rules for work? -- nm - Remlik Sep 15, 08:26 10
      - I just hope she gets a severance... package... Hmm, this sentence got dirtier than I intended... -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 08:33
      - i actually get how this could happen. they both knew it would end eventually, but they're in love, then he finds out he's leaving in 2 weeks, and - Andie Sep 15, 08:27 2
        
        Huh, I thought loosi was insinuating that the guy has known for more than two weeks. Of course, we don't know that. -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 08:51
        
        Yes, but the exit interview seems a little over the top. -- nm - pmb Sep 15, 08:37
      - I never got laid off or fired with notice. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:26 5
        
        well then wouldn't two weeks be nice to have? so he's really ahead of the game then! - Remlik Sep 15, 08:27 4
        
        he wants two more weeks of free humping. I'm not st00pid. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:28 3
        
        two weeks of intense goodbye humping -- nm - zork Sep 15, 08:29
        
        the girl is if he gets 2 more weeks of humping -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:29 1
        
        sheesh. i would rather know as soon as the decision is made. he's probably hurting too - kare Sep 15, 08:52
    - it's hilarious. i hope he put it in writing, or the clock doesn't start officially. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 08:24
LYC: I am an Excel MASTER. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:19 2

- Harry's an F, but I don't know the others. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:25 2
  - Did you see Inception? Tom Hardy is the hot one. -- nm - Dano Sep 15, 08:26 1
    - hmmm, is he the M or the F? I could K Harry if the others are hot enough. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:27
When someone gets their e-mail hacked (and sends out spam), is that because that person clicked on something they shouldn't have or did some bot guess - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 15, 08:17 4
- Could be a virus, but they don't actually even need to have been hacked. It's simple to fake the From address. - Ender Sep 15, 08:21
- Maybe, but it's far more likely that their email address is simply being faked -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 08:19 2
  - But how does it get access to the address book then? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 15, 08:21 1
    - in that case it is most likely a virus -- nm - decline Sep 15, 08:34
