“Once the nausea kicked in, I couldn't maintain my job anymore” … “I am suddenly out of a job”
You didn't quit, but you don't have income, either. Is this really the time to argue the tiny, insignificant detail about if you quit or took a leave of absence or were fired or whatever? You have no income. That's the basic point the commenter was touching on, not if you walked up to your boss and said “I quit”.
Tbh, from your comments, you don't seem mature enough to raise a kid, and the father very obviously doesn't want to be with you or the kid. You seem resistant to people's advice, and combative when you hear something you don't like. This is going to be an extremely difficult uphill road for you.
Honestly, 8’s pretty good. If you go on the truerateme subreddit and look at their rating scale you’ll see that you’re in very good company, like Margot Robbie standard.
He should have continued the sentence like “you’re an 8 but to me you’re a perfect 10”
OK….I assume you would like some guidance and I have some to give
though it may not sound very pleasant to hear it.
1.) Based on your own report you allowed a past relationship to not just
intrude, but to take up residence in your current bond. This was an on-going
pattern or impulse, deceit and selfishness. You were responsible for debreifing
from your earlier Bond so you could give all you had to the new Bond. You
didn't, and the result was months of chaos the New SO had no control over,
and was unjustly required to endure.
2.) Your New SO was connected to you and you purposely misrepresented conditions
so as to keep him enmeshed. To his credit he continued to have hope but is
understandably bitter at the betrayal of the Bonds' Trust.
3.) Your Old SO is just barely less guilty of this as it plain from your report that
he protracted the drama and quite possibly reveled in the trauma inflicted on
your new Bond. I have no window into his heart so I can't know his motive,
however your report makes it clear that he contributed to drawing out this
shit-storm…..and you colluded with him.
4.) Not sure what influence you have over the New SO but by your report it
is apparently waning. IMHO your New SO would be well within his rights
to show you the door. If you have ANY intent on salvaging what you had
you will probably be expected to submit to a kind of “probationary” connection
until consistency of Behavior supports your intent to commit to the new Bond.
Most folks would simply give this shit-storm a decent burial and move on,
but you asked so I gave you my take on this. FWIW.
That's a fair point. I just don't want the reputation of being a TERF when I'm a member of the LGBTQ community myself

New job called old job for reference

He lied by omission on purpose due to his fears and wants. What does that tell you about him? About how he will treat future issues?
No. But people who care about their friends and ask for advice on how to help them shouldn't get told “don't even try, go no contact”
