Not looking for pity, and feel free to laugh...I have been.

So I've just started my second contract at the same hagwon. Things are great here. I get good hours, good pay, and I have a lot of friends and extra-currics in the area to keep me busy and my wallet padded.

I speak, read, and write Korean well enough that 90 percent of my friends are non-English speaking Koreans, and I thus I have also dated my fair share of non-English speaking K-girls. I've been lucky that I could be sure they weren't out for English lessons, because we never speak English together.

Anyway, I just started dating a K-girl from work (yup, idiot-move number one). Things were great, and she is hot. We met with her friends and mine quite a bit, and all my friends assured me they thought she was a stand-up girl. Convinced of it, actually. So was I.

A couple months into the relationship I got out drinking with my boss, and leave my phone at work. She's calling all night worried about me, and thus decided to go to my place and wait for me...my roommate lets her in and lets her stay...in my bed. (see where this is going by any chance?)

I get absolutely wasted with the boss, not being able to turn down the ol' bastard Korean-style. So drunk that I don't remember needing to be put in a cab by another female Korean teacher that I work with. Apparently, I was so out of sorts that the cabbie wouldn't take me, so she walked me the 10 minutes or so to my place. As we're walking up to the door at 5 AM, my girlfriend wakes up, freaks out (yeah, it looked BAD), and proceeds to have a huge fight with me (at this point I sobered up right quick!).

I felt terrible about it, thinking we had something great going on, but we tried to work things out for a week or two.

All of a sudden I had that burning feeling. So I go to the ol' urologist, and he tells me that yup, I've got a little gift from the girlfriend. I tell her about it so she can go get checked up, and she goes on to yell at me thinking I was cheating on her (which I wasn't).

Turns out she was cheating on me! Pretty foolish of me and my friends to trust this girl, but she put on a helluva show. Even her friends were convinced that she didn't have this secret life.

It gets better...

I talk to my boss about the upcoming desk moves, and request that I don't be sat next to her again, as it has become uncomfortable working with her since we dated and broke up, which I assumed he knew about (we weren't particularly secretive about it).

His face gets all twisted up, and he starts blabbering on about how she was HIS girlfriend for a year before me, and how he is so heartbroken to hear that she has found someone new. But the guy is and was married during the whole time.

Oops, I slept with the boss' mistress of a year. My bad hehehe

Korean adventures have been crazy fun, but this one so far is the craziest!

Just so none of you caring souls were worried...the gift she gave me was cleared up in a week of antibiotics...long live science!

Good story. You should ask the boss if it burns when he pees, too.

Lessons:

1. Wrap it up.
2. Don't sh()t where you eat.
3. Wrap it up.

The lack of replies to this amusing tale is due to the fact that many regular male contributors to this forum are too busy at the moment asking around in a worried panic about their current local paramours.

Hmm... I wonder if the "present" you got, was courtesy of your boss? She could have had it for quite some time and not known, since symptoms are much more difficult to detect in females. That's messed up. Glad you are able to laugh about the whole thing. Smile

Yes, some girls put on a great show.... but do not trust them farther than you can throw them. True many of them are light, but you still can't throw them very far, can you?

Also... her friends assured you she was a stand up girl... um..and you think they weren't lying to you too? You see, it's called "Let's put on our best face for the foreigner.." In their world... in this country...all women are pure before marriage, there are no homosexuals, nobody lies, cheats, etc...

And...think how many women here have had "encounters" with the boss (in secret of course...they WON'T be telling you this...ever), who, by the way, likely sleeps with prostitutes from time to time (unprotected of course...but who care's right? AIDS doesn't exist here either...!). You may want to "wrap it up" in the future, eh? Best of luck... that story was indeed a gem, but sadly it did not surprise me too much.
