I work with my ex. does talking about work considered no contact?
for context, I work with my ex as shift supervisors. he is the main opener, I am the main closer. so, we have little-to-no choice in contacting each other sometimes about work, whether it be individually or in group chats. I think I know the answer, but I honestly think I just want external validation that I'm not using work as an excuse to talk to him.
I literally joke that our workplace is our child of divorce because that's genuinely what it feels like.

when you two talk for work, does it stay strictly about the task or does it drift into old comfort sometimes?
😬🙏🏼 a very good thing to consider lol
what helped me was asking myself if i’d send the same message to any coworker or if i was adding extra softness for him. that little check kind of kept me honest with myself without judging it.
I know this is three weeks later, but considering this heavily going through this process has helped me so much. thank you.
i used to work with my ex too and it really did feel like we were “co-parenting” a job together. every tiny work message felt like this weird mix of duty and wanting connection. you’re not crazy for feeling that way
this genuinely made me feel so much better, thank you
ur still no contact if u dont have a choice but talk
