Lady Finally Gets Put In Her Place After Numerous Attempts To Shame “Immoral” Coworker

We all have opinions about many things, yet it doesn’t mean we get to share them at any time we want. Sometimes it’s not a matter of time, but rather the opinion itself – some things are better left unsaid. And even if you have some conditions that make your life a little harder than for others, it doesn’t mean you get a free pass on this. 

Well, in today’s story, a woman thought she did simply because many people let her do that because of her disability. And so, she used this to spread rather vile opinions. Yet, it was a matter of time before she crossed a line.

    Apparently, a woman from today’s story didn’t know this, as she took every chance to say anything that was on her mind

    So, one day she decided to express her opinion on coworker moving in with her partner and say how she disapproves of them living together before marriage

    The coworker didn’t stay silent – she called out the woman’s hypocrisy of having daughter with a child out of wedlock and her other kids’ questionable birth timelines

    Years ago, the OP was working in a hospital. She had a coworker who was disabled after a long-term illness as a child, and so she had to wear leg braces to walk. Due to this disability, many people treated her as a delicate flower, no matter how nastily she acted. Basically, she felt like she was invincible to say and do whatever she liked. 

    So, she chose to use this “power” to tell people, especially younger ones, how to live “godly” lives. The original poster wasn’t excluded from this equation either. When she mentioned to coworkers that she’ll be moving in with her boyfriend of 3 years, this woman decided to jump in with her judgment. 

    The thing was that she was not simply passing judgment, but she noted that she personally doesn’t approve of them living together before marriage, as any intimacy before marriage in such conditions is a sin. 

    This made the OP lose it – who does this woman think she is that she can tell her what to do? Not to mention the fact that she doesn’t even live according to these morals herself. You see, her sons are problematic, her daughter, who lives at home, has a child out of wedlock with a deadbeat baby daddy. And that’s not even all of it – the timelines of the woman’s child births also suggest that they were conceived before marriage, too. 

    So, if anyone could judge the original poster, it’s definitely not this “saint” woman, as there’s not much saintliness in her life. In fact, we believe that there should be no judgment coming to the OP. After all, moving in with your long-time partner is not such a frowned-upon idea.

    Well, it is when it comes to people like the antagonist of today’s story, but most often it’s driven by their religious beliefs. Evangelicals, unlike some other religions, strictly believe that a couple should not be intimate before they tie the knot, as in their eyes it’s a sin against God. Today’s religious lady not adhering to these ideals is a whole different story – a true religious person shouldn’t cherry-pick to whom these rules apply. 

    Besides that, many couples do not move solely for intimate reasons – there are plenty of others that make this solution the best one. For some, it’s an ultimate “test” before marriage – are they compatible enough to make a commitment to each other? There’s a better way to try it out than to live in a shared space, where it’s basically impossible to hide flaws. 

    Others do it for financial benefits, just as the couple in today’s story. For them, it seemed more reasonable to share rent, since they already spent almost all the time together – it wasn’t just about the intimacy, as the hypocritical coworker made it out to be. 

    Well, at least after the OP called her out, she never really commented on her life ever again, which netizens counted as a win – it’s always satisfying to see a hypocrite being put into their place. 

    Would you have done the same in the OP’s place, or would you have tried to sweep the remark under the rug? Maybe something else? Please, share all your options and opinions in the comments!

    My ex's father once expressed to me that he was disturbed we were living together without being married. I replied, "My dude, you're on your third marriage. It's a bad idea to throw stones when you live in a glass house."

    I went to Christian college. The wildest students were the PKs/MKs (Preacher's kids/Missionary's kids). For most, this was their first experience away from their parents. The first breaths of independence and freedom. Perhaps this is true for the daughter here.
