The lowdown sunovabitches

The situation:

Angus and Jen dated for SEVEN years. In the last year, they moved in together, with Daryl and Mel. Daryl and Jen didn't get along. Supposedly.

This summer, Angus, Jen, and Daryl were supposed to come camping with the rest of us - Me, Pie, Matt, Greg, Stefan, Heather, and Travis. In the end, only Angus came. Daryl said he "couldn't handle" being with us 24/7 for three whole days. Jen made some other excuse. Camping was awesome.

Angus and Jen broke up at the end of the summer because Jen moved back to Nova Scotia to do her MA. They split on good terms, but Angus was really upset by the whole thing.

It comes out that Daryl sent Jen flowers in Nova Scotia. As a "housewarming gift."

It ALSO comes out that, when we were camping, Jen supposedly got really upset one night. Daryl comforted her, and she ended up sleeping in his bed. Nothing, apparently, happened.

Angus calls Daryl out on both of these events. Daryl convinces Angus that he is paranoid and has Angus feeling guilty for being suspicious.

Angus confides this in the rest of us before his brain explodes. We tell him that, no, he is not crazy, and yes, he has every right to be pissed off.

THEN it comes out that Daryl is planning to move to Nova Scotia. To find a job. Because apparently there are lots of jobs in Nova Scotia. Which is bullshit. And he's not moving there for Jen. Which is also bullshit.

We speculate. Say mean things. Reassure Angus that he has every right to be a Doubting Thomas.

And now Daryl and Jen are officially dating long distance.

So let's establish that, not only did Daryl commit the cardinal sin of moving in on his friend's ex long-term girlfriend WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT, but he LIED HIS ASS OFF ABOUT IT, and, even worse, MADE ANGUS FEEL THAT IT WAS HE WHO WAS IN THE WRONG.

Jen's response to Angus when called out about this? "It's none of your business."

Bullshit.

If Angus and Jen had dated for like two months and it didn't work out, then fine, you can date other people in the circle of friends. It's awkward for a while, but whatever. But SEVEN FUCKING YEARS and you practically CHEAT? And then LIE? And MANIPULATE?

Fuck you both. You've lost the trust and respect of ALL of us. Way to alienate everyone you know.

Oh yeah, and the best part is that Travis is Daryl's cousin, and Stefan is Jen's cousin, and both boys are going to inform the families of the situation. So now everyone will know what deceitful pieces of shit they are.
