I'm dubious about the whole thing after reading all seven pages as well. However, I don't think she was saying that he *got* her the job, more that somehow he helped her get the brain surgery that helped her *keep* the job. Of course, that is where it still falls apart anyway. Epilepsy is protected under ADA laws. The brain surgery, however, should have minimized her seizures. My late cousin had similar surgery for her epilepsy. I would assume that the issue with her parents being able to walk in at any time is related to the epilepsy, since in the event of a seizure, it really wouldn't be great if they were locked out, and parents of ill children, as we know, can be overprotective. That he moved to DC to be closer to her and they never moved in together is very strange, although over protective parents could play a part in that as well. Government jobs for those without degrees are not really well paying jobs. People tend to stick with them for the benefits and retirement packages. If anything she said about this guy is the truth, he really was an ass and she is better off without him. A guy who calls her at work to the point of distraction? Who wants her to have sex in the workplace? Ridiculous and selfish. I agree she should tell her parents he wanted her to have sex with other guys, she doesn't even need to say where or divulge any other kink about the relationship. Chances are her parents will become much more understanding if she tells them that, and says he called off the wedding when she refused. Epilepsy can suck, but it isn't a death sentence by any stretch, so I have to wonder why so many bailed on her in the past due to her medical condition. Of course, if she had frequent seizures, it could really be a lot to deal with, but after the surgery, that should certainly have decreased quite a bit. The last thing that made him an asshole? The stress he is causing with all of this nonsense could result in seizures.
