Triangle of doom

My church right now is reading the book of Job and today's passage was about the point where Job loses it after his farm and children were taken from him. After reading it, I was reminded of a big pile of awkward that I dealt with not too long ago.

A couple of years ago, I met online a nice, geeky girl from the Commonwealth by way of the Nutmeg State. Some extra baggage, big Mets/Giants fan, Jewish to boot. When I was down for a week, our schedules didn't mesh due for assorted reasons save for one window: She wanted me to go to a Starbucks in Arlington. I was stuck helping a friend move in up in Montgomery County. She falls off the face of the earth after that, I try to contact her a few times, she doesn't respond, I move on.

Fast forward about 18 months. One night I'm heading back to my apartment when one of my roommates opens the door. With him is said girl! It turns out they met online and were dating. Never mind that I was already ticked at said roommate for trying to kick me out of my apartment, he had to rub salt into the wound. If I wasn't a non-confrontational person, I'd be a fat Sean Avery going after a fatter Dion Phaneuf. Lord knows if she put 2-and-2 together or if he knows.

Eventually he left my apartment and is now living with her, however this has opened up a couple wounds. I know people don't screen their dates for the possibility of them having dated people they know, but it just made things worse and I couldn't tell him. Was all of this a test? If it was, I can't see what I learned from it? Was she justified from bailing on me without a real explanation? Or is all this discontent just me? Can anyone identify with this.

I won't even get into #2 this post, but there might be one other Gentile on this planet who has a bigger fascination towards Jewish culture than I do! What's wrong with me?
