Today, even though we were together every day of quarantine, now that I’m working my boyfriend has become a completely different person. He’s now jealous, insecure and makes wild accusations. He’s called and showed up to my new job so many times the managers are threatening to let me go. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my (now ex) boyfriend came home from work at 8 p.m., monologued about how he doesn't love me anymore for two hours, and walked out on me. In the middle of quarantine. Out of nowhere. FML
Today, my obsessive ex, who recently cut my phone line to stop me from talking to my boyfriend of three years, got a job at the same restaurant where both my boyfriend and I work. FML
Today, I got yelled at multiple times by my boss because my boyfriend didn't show up to work. FML
Today, during an argument, my boyfriend had the nerve to tell me he'll make more than me at his new job that he starts next week. He can't keep a job for more than six months. I've been working at my job for over two years. FML
Today, my husband typed in my work Teams Chat, “FUCK THIS JOB I QUIT” while I was away from my desk. All this because he’s still jealous of my and a male coworker’s friendship. I was terminated. He showed no remorse for what he did and told me to find another job where I won’t “slut around.” FML
Today, my boyfriend accused me of not coming home at all last week. The truth is, I was up and gone to work before him every morning, and I was home after he went to bed. He didn’t even bother talking to me or asking where I was last week, we both work 24/7 on-call jobs, and he knows this happens sometimes. FML
Today, after recently quitting a terrible job which made me miserable, I went to my first work meeting at my new job. I was excited to start fresh and meet my new coworkers. Instead, I met my boyfriend's extremely jealous ex-girlfriend. She didn't look excited to see me. FML
Today, I received a mass email from my boss saying we had a position open at the daycare I work at. I knew my boyfriend was looking for a job so I insisted he apply. Later at work, my boss takes me into her office and tells me my employment is being "terminated". My boyfriend is replacing me. FML
Today, my boyfriend of four years, who has never been anything but loving and supportive, told me after I made a joke that there has been “a change” in how he deals with people, that he has been “purging,” and that I could be next because he “has needs too.” FML
Today, I found out my ex-boyfriend, who I thought was finally out of my life for good, is now dating my new manager. FML

If he's going to act like that and risk your job then maybe it's time to let him go instead. His behaviour sounds very controlling... You can do better than little boys throwing tantrums

There needs to be boundaries in the form of threats laid down to deter his idiosyncrasies. Tell him to quit his bullshit and either find a job or you and him separate. Or simply stop the paranoid tantrums. He's a danger to you and himself acting like that where he might cost you his job. Complete prick.

He's actually a genius! The job market is so hot now you can probably make double what your old employer paid, and you don't have to go through the hassle of quitting. They might be sweating about a wrongful termination lawsuit, so they'll be nice to you. If your plan works, he's definitely a keeper!

break up with him and get a restraining order or you deserve it

Dump that Ross now. Also, I'm really disappointed in your managers, that they didn't put your safety first by calling the police.
