How to survive working with your ex after a breakup

Author

Im still devastated from my breakup about a month and a half ago. I am going no contact, but how does one navigate that when we work at the same place and from time to time have to interact or see one another? Neither of us can quit the job… but its hurts every time.

can i ask when you see him, is it the small talk that hurts more, or just his presence in general

i faced the same i had to see my ex at work too and it felt like ripping the scab off every single shift i’d hype myself up all morning just to act “normal” for five minutes around him. it’s exhausting pretending you’re okay when you’re NOT. you’re not weak for struggling with that.

Same situation here! it's hard, but we talked to each other the minimum. I also told a friend of mine at work (I trust her a lot) and my friend supports me at the office. Just keep moving, you are gonna be fine
