Towards a career? or backstabbed?

[Jewels]

i have an arguement that is unsolved i believe that it needs some opinion, me and my friend nick started dating, then we started working together, and this is the update... please anyone opinions would help me ever much so...


at work nick was in the electronic department ful time and almost every day he complained that he wanted to go home early because he was bored, half the time he was given a duty over their, and he would either do it half-asked or he would not do it at all, along with his attitude he is one of them, dont give me **** or ill give you **** back... he even talked back to his boss, (the team leader in charge of that department and hardlines) so, today was the day, they let him go, they told him due to payroll cut and because of his attitude and his performance, believe me there wasnt a day that went by where he didnt complain about his job, so.... they fired him and some positions become available over their, thinking of how i couldnt work with nick in the first place, now is a time for me to apply for a position, since the front end is ever so boring, and this is an oppurtunity to get away from it, so i applied, i told nick, he said he wouldnt be mad at me, i then talked to him about 30 minutes later he was down right pissed, he broke up with me over a stupid job....~! a job to which he got his ownself fired from! electronics having something to do with my career, i applied, thinking he would be happy for me, because its what i want to do in life, work with computers, he is ever so pissed and ended things over a ridiculous job that can easily come and go.... so i told him that its retarted that he wanted to break up with me just over a stupid job. im sorry i care about this kid too much to have things end over a stupid job, he said i backstabbed him, and we argued a bit more, he calmed down sorta and just said ill call ya tomorrow, as far as im certain i am single and will not be going back with him, what do you think did i make a right move? or backstab an asshole who got himself fired?
