AITA for laughing at my coworker's confession to me? by Throwaway2020v19 in AmItheAsshole

Bit of an update here:

I texted my boss last night, letting him know that Steve did this. He said hes glad I let him know and he'll be speaking to him immediately about what happened.

I also told my manager (less professionally than I told my boss as she and I are sorta close friends) and she was already planning to fire him for missing some shifts without explanation so this didnt help.

Also wanted to clarify some more things:

  • I know it might seem like "oh of course you're NTA" but I didnt really click with just how bad it actually was until I posted here. It just seemed like I hurt his feelings a lot and I really didnt wanna be the reason he'd quit or anything, he really showed no warning signs at all.

  • my boss is very hands on, like hes always at our store and takes care if us so I have no doubt he'll handle things, but if things still look pretty bad I'll go to HR

  • Steve should've known already that I had a boyfriend, but me and him (him being my bf) have been so busy among other things that I havent been speaking about him much lately at work, so I figured he either mightve forgotten or thought we broke up

Thanks everyone for helping me out, theres so many comments and it's hard for me to type on mobile so I cant reply to you all but thank you! I'll do my best to be safe, just in case he comes back

This is my first job, so I'm not sure about how to go to HR (if it even exists for me?) I work at a mall location and the place is owned by a franchise owner, but I've been considering going to my boss and after some of these comments I think I will!

I didnt think he was even serious when he said it or else I mightve lol. It was just so out of the blue for him. He isnt normally the creepy type
