I was in a great relationship with my girlfriend. We ended it. The problem is that she won't let me go. We work in the same place. And at times she initiates conversation with me (of course it is work related). But, I am not interested in her, not even as a friend.

 

I don't know how i feel because I understand her, but there is an "independant" side to her that makes her unattractive to me. I understand why she is independant. We were great friends, and I don't want to rekindle this friendship. I have tried many times to walk away, but she keep initiating conversation.

 

I don't want her friendship. Now, is that wrong?

Your needs and feelings are never wrong. Since you work together, however, having all contact ceased isn't really an option. You can either ignore her, or be polite and tell her that it's too soon for a friendship with her.

Nothing wrong at all. Simply tell her you do not wish to be friends and to keep things strictly business. Let her know if she doesn't comply, you will go to management. Meanwhile, don't let this situation jeopardize your job.

there is nothing wrong. you are doing the right thing. i hope that other men thought this same way at the end of a relationship. many men get suckered into being "friends" with the ex and then they end up taking more abuse from her.

Why can't you find a new job? Is the job worth the stress this broken relationship is causing?
