Tayla Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 The talk is so often a dreaded experience. If anyone has Tips on how to do it with minimal harm , please share. As the lady I find it hard to do the actual breakup...and to make it worse, we work together. So he can make things even more uncomfortable. I think the final straw was when I asked him to not make advances at work and his response was "F%$* That I'll touch you if I want, I don't care what others think. " It was shockingly disrespectful. To preface, he is a co worker and not a boss, he works another department and I can find ways to keep my distance. It just was a red flag to me that this break up talk will be point blank - nasty. I cannot have the talk alone, he gets very unreasonable. I need to find a way with minimal physical harm and emotional turbulance.
Sneaky Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I don't have much advice, but don't leave him anything to wonder about. Be clear and direct. The last thing I told my ex during our talk was that she should maybe give it a few days to think it over before having another talk. She did not respond clearly to this and I thought she was actually doing that for a long while. Instead she was moving on while I was waiting for our talk, which dragged things out way more than it should have.
Author Tayla Posted September 14, 2013 Author Posted September 14, 2013 Update- A week ago the opportunity arose that allowed this relationship to end maturely. He was 100% different then what I expected when we had the "talk". It was a relief to speak our minds, say our good byes and oddly maintain civility in the work place. Some folks just "know" when its best to move on.
