smudge21 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Keep trying to go NC with the ex but there's a slight problem. We met due to film project we were working on together, and as that is still on going, everyone involved is still in touch and having to stay in touch. So as much as I know I should, and want to, go NC, it's difficult when every odd week or month, there's a reason to see her. Any advice on how to deal with this when you have to see (and be friends/get along with) the ex would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
0hpenelope Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Stick to the business things. If anything starts getting personal or too close for comfort or home, don't even think or process the information just walk away. If she comes up to you and greets you, be polite and keep your answers brief. If she starts with "How have you been? I haven't heard from you," or any other variant of that, sidestep it by answering only what she's asking for: "I'm fine, thanks," and then smoothly get into discussion about work again. Seriously, you don't want to prolong any face-to-face conversations with her. You know you can't handle conversations with your ex right now, but just be professional. Don't show weakness or look vulnerable to her, think of yourself all the way. You're doing it for the grades, you're doing it for yourself. You're not choosing to break NC, you have to but for business, that's all. Good luck, okay? Don't let her being there get you down. Get your work done. Link to post Share on other sites
Author smudge21 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 That's kinda' what it's been like when we've had to be together. I'll still laugh along with the group and be myself. I never let her know how I'm really feeling. It's so tough though sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
