My boss, surprisingly, was the most understanding, as she reduced my notice period from four weeks to two. He even found another dyke who’d sublease my apartment-in our five-star residential society-to which I was contractually bound for another nine months. Vijay, my current best friend, roommate, and colleague, was more understanding. My girlfriend said she had heard this story multiple times, and I told her to go fuck herself. She was leaving her husband of three years, for whom she’d quit college. I was dildo-deep in my girlfriend when Shelly, my childhood best friend, called me sobbing.
