I forgave her. The relationship is over and final. Divorce was finalized as of the end of June.


I am happy and actually in a pretty stable new relationship, things at the job are going extremely well I am now the Specialty Sales Manager, in charge of 4 departments and roughly 40% of the Store's revenue.


The decision was the best for me, and ultimately the best for both of us, we don't really speak often at all but I wish her all the best

Got married two years ago at 26. I have known her for the past ten years actually since High School. Thought I was doing the smart thing by marrying someone I've known for awhile but as the age old saying goes, you never really know a person until you LIVE with that person...

Congrats breh! I used to work as a cashier at Best buy many years ago. it was just a temp job and i hated it, but i'm happy for you for your recent acheivements. Store managers actually make good money (75k-100k plus bonuses) so im sure your pockets will be much better off!

Now whats up on that discount?

I was coming out of the Army, deciding what I wanted to do. Decided I wanted to go back to work for Best Buy. She looked me right in my face and said "So your going to be 35 years old making $12.50:stopitslime:".

That was literally the moment where I completely and utterly fell out of love with her. NO woman in the history of my existence has ever been allowed to disrespect me, my work ethic, nor my decision making to such a disgusting level. Especially a woman whose hand I took in marriage...

So I did exactly what I had to do. Started back at the bottom part time and worked myself back to Manager in 5 months. Three promotions, three pay raises (plus bonuses). And after that time period I didn't feel as if she deserved to be a part of my success as she wasn't supportive during my hustle and struggle. Once I made manager she wanted to talk about how proud of me she was and all that shyt but I told her straight up I didn't make it because of her. I made it DESPITE of her and I didn't want her nor the marriage any longer. I actually told her all of this two months ago but she begged and pleaded for another chance talking about how sorry she was and she always believed in me and she was just frustrated during that time period. She wanted to go to counseling and I tried it but nah....the damage had been done. Once you disrespect a man.... TRULY disrespect him, he will never forgive you

The fact of the matter is that I spent two years supporting her while she decided if she wanted to go to Law School, be a paralegal, work at Nordstroms, work at Verizon, or whatever else. I supported her. Even when I was making the majority of the income and she was studying for the LSAT. I never questioned her. Came back from Afghanistan with almost 8K in savings (of which she contributed not ONE penny) and having decided to leave the Army now was my time to decide how I was going to transition back into civilian life.

The truth is I worked for Best Buy before, loved it. I love retail, I love helping customers, I love technology. All of those romantic gifts and surprises and trips she loved so much years beforehand. Best buy checks paid for that. I was making more than $12.50 before all of this, supporting myself, paying all of my bills, etc. BEFOREHAND as an unmarried man. She knew all of this. So for her to at ANY point question my commitment to being successful in wanting to return as a grown ass MARRIED man was the absolute pinnacle of disrespect. I don't give a fukk what your misgivings are, you do not look your husband, the husband who has supported you emotionally and financially since even before we were married, in eye and suggest sarcastically that he will enter middle age as a failure.


It will not be tolerated.


Call me whatever you like Brehs or think what you are entitled to think. But my personal code of living is that to be married to somebody who has that little faith in you after your entire life has been spent proving to the contrary is simply unacceptable.

I got the call today....



I got the JOB!

I am now the youngest Assistant Store Manager in the state of Georgia!


This is a culmination of all of the hard work and dedication that I have put into my career for the past two years. From starting back with the company as a seasonal employee, walking home at midnight, taking the bus and train at 5am in the morning. There were days when people told me it wasn't worth it. Days when people told me I was going backward. But I've been overcoming challenges every since the day I drew my first breath and the doctor told my parents I was 4 months premature and might not live. So I'm writing this with extreme joy in my heart and telling all of you this one simple fact. Your vision is your reality. Never allow ANYONE to cloud your vision... Now we just have one more to go before the dream is realized. General Store Manager here I come!


The feeling when I got that call brehs
