bad in retrospect
About 2 years ago me and the now-ex moved down to brighton, and moved in with my brother and his girlfriend. The house was always a tip and there were always randoms coming and going. Never any arguments about tidying or washing up or noise or anything, just lots of chilling and happiness (well, apart from the sour-faced ex, but never mind).

Anyway, one day my brother's mate Paul moved in after his girlfriend kicked him out. He's a bit of a waster and generally sat around watching porn, getting stoned or drunk and trying to avoid getting fired from his job (which didn't work in the end). Anyway, he acted pretty much like a lot of the people in these stories, but strangely it all seemed to fit and everyone rubbed along alright (well, until he launched into an anti-christian tirade against my brother's girlfriend's best friend one night, and swiftly got given his marching orders...and we got the sofa in the front room back).

So yeah, that was about a year and a half ago...and last Friday I found out that he'd been boasting to some friends of mine that while he was living there he'd taken my ex (my gf at the time, obviously) out to a fetish club after she'd started a row with me and run off, and he'd shagged her. And then continued to pretend to be my mate for the next year and a half.

So yeah, in retrospect he was actually the worst housemate I've had. Still, karma's a wonderful thing - following a lot of incidents including nicking money out of the till at my brother's pub when he'd been given a job there as a favour and generally being a moaning sod, he's going to find that the next time he gets dumped and kicked out his options of places to crash will be limited :D

As for the ex...frankly I'd be surprised if he was the only bloke she was knocking off behind my back. Dumping her felt so good I'd happily get back with her so I could do it again....but that's a different QOTW innit? Girls are funny creatures - watch out for the ones who make unfounded accusations of infidelity against you, chances are they're doing it to cover up their own little adventures.
