StupidHeartbreak Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 I was until recently in an on/off relationship with a coworker. A couple if years ago I was very in love but then it came out he had another relationship (not just an affair, she actually was there before me) and I broke it off. He then seemingly left her and a few months ago I relapsed into dating him. Now I’ve found out he’s got multiple affairs and at least one serious relationship. I feel so sick. I just want him to disappear from my space but I’m forced to see him everyday.

He seems like the workplace wolf and skirt chaser. While you do have some grounds for sexual harassment, it may be better to update your CV and extricate yourself from what seems like a toxic workplace. In the meantime be polite and professional and nothing more, nothing less. 2
BaileyB Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 Do you like your job? If not, it’s time to look for a new job. If you do like your job, I would just ignore him. The best revenge is to live well. You really dodged a bullet with the this one, be grateful for that.

Just make sure to never go back to this man again. It would help you to find a new job.

If he wants to talk about other things, say you have to get back and are rocked with other things that just came up. Right now he has a very loud voice in your head. Make it tinier.
BaileyB Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 Keep it professional. Personally, I wouldn’t have any problem doing that because quite literally, every time I see the man the catch phrase that I would say in my mind would be - “dodged a bullet with that one.” Just look forward, not backward. Good luck.
