Hi everyone, or should I say goodbye everyone. I'm back to work, working with him 5 days a week. So I guess thats the end of no contact. Can't really do that if im seeing him and talking to him almost everyday at work. We need to collaborate and talk to do the job so its not like I can avoid him. He seems to be nice and helpful, asked about my holidays and stuff. Helped me when I got overwhelmed today and was super kind about it. We shared some banter jokes as well. It felt nice. But I know I'll never mean anything to that man. I can change how I look, my personality, interests. I could move mountains and that still will never be enough. And although it takes a huge chunk of my heart away, I have to move on. Working together wont be easy but its only till May. Then I can fly out to my next job and never see him again. I'll miss him, our small conversations, the jokes we shared, the chemistry. But it will be liberating, I'll finally work on getting control and love for my own life. And that's what I need to focus on. if there is any last advice/message you want to leave under this please do! Thank you guys for all the support and guidance ❤️

when you say you’ll never mean anything to him, is that something he showed you clearly? or is that the fear talking because you loved him deeper than he loved you?
i had to work with my ex too. same office, same projects, five days a week. the “nice and helpful” version of him almost confused me more than the breakup did. the banter felt normal. safe. and then i’d go home and remember… i didn’t mean what i thought i did. that part HURT. so yeah. i get the mix of warmth and grief at the same time
yeah you dont need to set the nc anymore... its about the community
you can stay here wthout no contact
