We still have to work together!!!
Recent break up.. but he’s my coworker. So we share a very tight knit community. It was a mutual decision and we were doing well, but then a minor work disagreement turned into a relationship issue trigger and now we’re barely speaking. I need him in my life as a friend and coworker. And I know we can get that back eventually. But I’m having trouble regulating my emotions in the meantime. He closes off when he’s upset and I act out, so I’m sure I look like a crazy person. Our coworkers are mostly being amazing and our bosses even more so.. but I still feel like everyone’s watching me process my emotions and judging how I do so,which makes me more anxious and crazy. Moral of the story don’t date coworkers!! Lol
That sounds hard, but the way you describe it tells me you're taking a mature and kind approach to resolving this chapter. Kudos to you! That's an achievement. My ex and I have also talked about being friends at some point. Easier said than done, but definitely worth it to keep people we care about in our lives.
@forcefulPeach1961,
there's two options that come to mind:
1) get yourself together (I know by experience, that can be tough), and focus on other things
2) if you are emotionally too involved, and can't get past it, making yourself feel stuck, then distance yourself, literally. Move, get another job, both.
Very relatable. I have almost the same issue at this moment, so feel free if you want to talk to message me. Im not sure if I can give you any good advice but we might have something in common and we can understand each others problem very well
