Due to immediate circumstances that have occured, I have no pride because of certain words that have come my way and I have been compelled to do nothing more than understand/lash out/express myself about my current situation.

I'm eating my lunch about 5 min before my shift starts at work and my co-worker says to me " Are you and your girlfriend breaking up?" I think to myself no, we are not but we did have a dicussion about our relationship last night on paper in this exact room. OH SHIT! I then understand why he is asking the question and I reply "NO, she just had a few concerns." At this moment I'm crying inside because i assume certain evidences were left behind. Though i could swear all media was destroyed and thrown in the trash, though something must have been left behind. The reason I'm disturbed at the fact that my co-worker(s)(and God knows who else) got wind of our conversation last night is because of what we talked about. I mean, are threre not just some things that are PRIVATE and not meant to be viewed by others? Of course!!! Especially this, I mean we expressed alot of things that we would much rather no other person know because its between us and it has to do ONLY with us! I have no clue what was left behind at this moment, due to the fact that I'm at work and I cannot investigate this matter now as well as, that I don't know how much about the conversation my co-worker(s) know. This brings me to another thing. What would you do if you were that "co-worker" and you found certain writings left behind? Sure, I should be more careful, but if the contents look private then do you read it??? Discuss it with others??? laugh?? What are you suppose to do when you have no idea what others know about your relationship with your girlfriend and especially the things they shouldn't know! I'm kicking myself pretty hard for not being careful and I guess the lesson is to BE CAREFUL or don't talk about certain things at the work place.

I do understand that maybe because my company is small and I can get away with having my girfriend visit me for lunch and have this little talk that we had that, I'm leaving myself open to the posibility that something that is not supposed to be known will leak to others after discovering certain contents of conversation, etc... Should I demand or expect them to honor my relationship and to reject the idea of reading confidential material for the sake and pride of your fellow co-worker? I'm dying to find out how much him/they know because again this means I and my relationship are in a situation to be talked about behind my back. It's the same thing as finding your sister's diary/journal and giving it to your friends to make fun of. The fact still remains, its private, you shouldn't view it and its your my business, not yours!!! There will be more to come as I plan to update anyone that reads this about what I find. I'm simply asking what would you do at this moment if you were me?
