My boyfriend of 18 months who I work with was cheating on me with another women from work. He then left me for her 4 months ago. I am just not coping having to work with them is to much even though I don't see them to often even their names popping up in meetings kills me.
He pursued me for months before I gave him a chance made me feel like I meant the world to him including my little girl from a previous relationship then threw us out like trash and replaced me with her & couldn't care less.
I have been with the company for years & worked my way up but have no qualifications or confidence to go elsewhere.
I feel like I am stuck in this nightmare & no hope of moving on as I am reminded everyday.
Friends & family think I should be over it by now but I am so hurt inside.
After 4 months I hoped to feel better but if anything I feel worse

That is so difficult to get over. What about the other woman he cheated with, do you have to pass by or even see a glimpse of her? If this is intolerable to even hear of them, then you may have to get another job which I know is unfair. On the other hand, if you like your job, maybe decide to tough it out, let it all be like water off a ducks back. The cheek of them, rubbing it in your face. If you decide to tough it out, get angry and say fuck you, I'm not leaving. They might split up, who knows.

@Carmellablend thank you so much for replying to me. I haven't seen her yet but it's always in the back of me mind she's there
I just don't see how I can get over it. I feel relieved at the weekends
I really like my job & am liked there & I have my child to provide for so am worried about moving jobs
I am going to try and get into the mindset you suggested and get angry
Saddest thing of all is that I still think of him how he was and not how he is now
I just want to be over it
Thanks again

Been in a similar situation and it's really hard, I ended up leaving, as needed a change anyhow. In fairness he'll probably do the same to her in a year or so. Defo wouldn't date anyone I worked with after that, lesson learnt! Xx
