No contact but I work with him

[fightingback86]

Guy totally messed me about and broke my heart. He was off work last week and I'm off work this week so had no contact. How will I cope next week. I'm still broken
What will be the best way to deal with him at work

You need to fake it til you make it if moving jobs isn’t an option right now.

Don’t engage with him, be civil yet cool if you do have to deal with him. I’m sorry you’re going through this x

That totally depends on how you work with him. Do you have to spend 8 or 12 hours only in his company? or do you sit next to him on desks? give us a bit more detail about the complications of working with him and we might be able to give better advice. So sorry though

im in the same predicament. we finished at the beginning of may. im dreading going back into work, but will probably just ignore him.
luckily we work on separate teams so may not have to see that much of him.

Civil, cool, professional. Only talk about work matters. Only talk if there's an operational need, or if he speaks to you. Politely close down any pleasantries rather than get into a conversation that might confuse you. Don't feel you have to smooth this over. Will you see him regularly or are you just in the same wider company?

Depends on how much contact is actually necessary for the business.

If you share an office and have to talk about work, then you need to be cool, calm and professional.

If you just work in the same building, I'd completely blank him. Any attempts to talk to you should simply be totally ignored. Keep your head held high !

He's a prick, but you are a lady x
