Hi

Please help me. I am saturated in tears. I have been crying from 15:00 yesterday. My boyfriend has ended our relationship

We had some differences - a large age gap, divorce stuff going on and religious views (his, not mine..)

Please help. I’m still in my twenties. Please tell me I deserve someone to have sex with, who will love me and be proud of me

He is my boss. My job is not at risk - he has no power to dismiss me - but he sits a few seats away. I cannot transfer nor leave. I have a mortgage and a four year old son

How can I heal? How can I heal while he’s there every single day? How do I stop myself bursting into tears?

I know deep down that this is the right thing. I was forever competing with his ex wife - it had worn me into the ground

He has sent a few messages to apologise and tell me that he loves me, and that he is sorry he cannot give me a future. I have asked him to stop, he has respected this

I can’t cope. Will the doctor help me? Can the doctor give me something to numb this? I have no idea how I’m gonna get through this

Oh my god babe chin up! You're so not an utter fool! Don't have any regrets because they will eat you alive. You're young.. 28 that's nothing! Okay so you had a relationship and it ended, you just need to accept it is what it is and you will be ok you have to be. Start a new day tomorrow, try and wake up positve.. do your hair, put some makeup on and pull yourself together. Don't let him see that you're hurting. You're strong and independent. You got this girlfriend!!

Today is no better. I am a mess. I couldn't make work today but we both have to be in tomorrow

I am seeing him soon. Tonight. A lot has came out - no cheating or anything - but some hidden things he's kept from me out of pride

It's over and done with, I am 99% sure he doesn't want to inflict his life on me

Sharing life with him means some serious sacrifices

This is the hardest time of my life

My stomach is in knots. How do I keep it together in work? I adore him. I just don't want to cry in front of everyone, I don't want them talking

Do you have to actually see him at work? Can you avoid interacting with him?

Sometimes you just have to suck it in and do your best. Head to the ladies if you feel a cry coming on.

Sidneythecam · 09/07/2018 19:47

Yeah, I have a very specific job. He is the boss of our entire office

Silly silly girl

Do your colleagues know you were together? Do you have a friend in the office who you could confide in that would help you through the week?

Sidneythecam · 09/07/2018 19:59

Yeah, our colleagues knew. We were on holiday just a few months ago

He thinks he's doing me a favour. That's the worst bit. He is "protecting me from him"

That's all well and good. Life will go on

But I think I'm gonna need sedated for tomorrow. I have dehydrated myself my head is banging

In the long run he probably is doing you a favor. He's still not over his wife and won't have sex with you. Unless he is extremely religious in all other aspects of his life I don't buy that excuse for that.

Have a big glass of ice water. Keep calm and carry on.

Sidneythecam · 09/07/2018 20:37

He is extremely religious in every aspect

No alcohol. Attends church three times a week. No sex before marriage etc

I have had my questions answered regarding the ex - I accused him wrongly. None of it was about her

Then he no longer wants to carry on the relationship with you for whatever reason. He can do that.

It sucks but there it is.

MrBig1 · 10/07/2018 05:46

Are you really 28?!
You have so much good in your life. Do you know how lucky you are?!

This man is not worth it!! You pull yourself together because you are an adult and a mum not a 15 years old teen! Come on you must be stronger than this for all you have and been through!!

Your colleagues already know, its already humiliating fraternizing with the boss. They already gossip! Just stop all this. Get your priorities right! Of course someone will have sex with you!!! Its not hard finding that. Seriously you need to stop this drama!

Get a fucking grip.

You are a mother. Your child is number one.

He is a man, that's all. Not a demi-god.

You wake up, get washed, get dressed and go to work. You lol after your child. You stop wallowing and you get on with it.
