im an american working overseas as an english teacher.about 3 weeks before my contract ended, a new teacher was brought in. i hit it off with her very well. nor romance or anything just a good person. i pretty much teach her how to survive the job and get by in the country.
my contract ends...i go home yet keep in touch with her thru calls, emails and even send her things in the mail (gifts for students etc) to help her out and send a positive impression for her students. (i sent gifts out of kindness as well as her asking me to send things also. )
fast forward to 5 months later. i come back to the same country, then she decides to break her contract and go home for personal issues (i.e. getting back with ex husband). she gets back home and hardly contacts me.h**l, its like she forgot i even helped her when i was gone and she was there.
anyways, about a year later she apologizes for not keeping in touch and seems like she expects everything to be ok.
a few more months pass without saying a word to each other...then i IM her and it seems like nothing has changed and we are are talking terms again.
she sends me an offline IM the next day asking if she can use me as a reference (shes applying for police academy) and wants me to lie and say i was her supervisor and she was a good worker (which she was). then types that i should do it because maybe 'one day you'll need my help'
would u help her? or tell her whats bothering u? or tell her to fly her kite somewhere else?
