What are some of the most unexpected things to happen to you that you have laughed at that you should be angry about?

I just got out of a relationship and I've been really depressed. We were together for 9ish months and she finally said she had to take some time to herself to work on her. I've been thinking about what went wrong and what I could have done, etc. I was embarrassed that she bent so many of my boundaries and upset that I let them be bent. To make things more anxiety driving, she has been saying a lot of things that aren't matching up with her actions. Tonight, I found out that my ex jumped to another guy we work with (we're talking about maybe 40 employees, half don't speak english) so she can use him for his expertise in his field (which is also her own) or to make me jealous or just to immaturely cope with the breakup.

And I can't stop laughing about it.... Things are finally clicking and I'm realizing the bullet I dodged. I'm broke, had to change my schedule to get away from her and now make less money (it's in a restaurant, so there are prime shifts) and she has alienated me from everyone at work because they see me as the problem (who knows what she told them and I had a mini breakdown because I couldn't process her flirting in front of me with this other guy so soon after the breakup with what she was telling me - of course no one questioned why this normally zen motherfucker had a breakdown at work and they all just said I was being a baby about it), but I seriously can't stop laughing at how silly the whole thing is and realize everything is ok and I am so much for the better.

Your turn. What are some times where the universe opened up to you, showed you the truth and you felt nothing but laughter and opportunity where many would see despair?
