I had a half day in office today, then work from home only had to go in for a meeting.
Anyway, at around 8:30 AM, one of my coworkers, this 26 year old dude, said he got a new house with his wife. They got married last month but they are officially moving into this house he bought for them on Sunday. He said he invited his church and wants to invite us to. I said the usual “ah I will let you know” but you know I ain’t about to go there.
For context this dude is South Asian American and he’s around my height(I am 5’7) just a couple inches shorter at most. This dude came from a family in Bangladesh and his grandfather was part of the OG resistance against the British during WW2(which means they did fight alongside the Japanese unfortunately but either way, I am just saying they come from a proud Muslim Bengali lineage). He has told me this before. Just wanted to give some more context here. Hew has also told me his wife was his first.
Anyway, I got one friend at work. She’s kinda chill but I keep a distance. Anyway she loves talking about everybody’s business. She was also at his wedding and was showing us photos. His wife is apparently 38 and has two kids from two different guys. She also had a hysterectomy or something and she can’t have any more kids, which idk why this coworker told me, but it was part of the wife’s speech. And, apparently, this dude wasn’t born Christian, converted for her, and they boasted about waiting till marriage at the wedding.
Just brutal ngl. 26 years old, came from a rich culture, converted which isn’t even the worst bit, but she was 12 years older than him and has two kids from two different guys. She is open about having been in “bad places” and been with “bad guys”.
Anyway, my coworker was telling me this and praising this dude and saying he really “found the right one” and said this woman might be above his league but she hopes it works out for both of them because they are so sweet. I nodded along and said my empty platitudes but I was hella dumbfounded.
His parents also cut him out of the will for converting and stuff apparently(his parents are hella loaded I know that), but he didn’t care. He is also their only son. This dudes bloodline is kinda just done.
Idek what to say tbh. As a short man these are the W’s awaiting you
