xxgreen20 Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) My ex girlfriend and I have been broken up for about 3 months now, and she initiated the breakup, saying she lost her feelings for me, and then began dating another guy a week later, and they have been together ever since. We haven't spoken since and I blocked her on all social media and deleted her number. I recently returned to the grocery store we both work at after being on leave for a while, but in a different department than her, and I worked 2 shifts without seeing her once. Then today, my 3rd shift since going back, I go up to the break room, and sure enough, she's sitting there at the table. My heart jumped into my throat, and I turned around and began to walk back downstairs, but my manager saw me leaving and said, "Hey, what's the matter?" I couldn't think of anything to say, so I just said, "Nothing," and walked back into the room. There are 2 round tables in the room, so I sat down at the other table and immediately pulled out my phone without acknowledging her at all. She didn't say a word to me either or make eye contact. So the 2 of us sat there in complete silence for 15 minutes, and I managed to down about half my salad and a little of my drink before heading back downstairs. When we were together, she had a commitment on Tuesday afternoons, so I did not expect her to be there, and I am embarrassed that my manager saw me leaving, and said, "What's the matter?" right in front of her. There are no other places to take my breaks besides outside, and it's cold out, so I'm stuck going there if I eat on my breaks. If I don't eat, I will be sitting in my car for breaks. So just needed to rant, but I don't know if I can do that again. It was so uncomfortable, even three months later, that I could barely eat, and I'm stuck feeling guilty for not greeting her and hoping I did the right thing. Edited December 20, 2016 by xxgreen20
IfonlyIknew Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 I'm just shocked you went back to work there! You could have made small talk, now it's just weird.
Author xxgreen20 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Posted December 20, 2016 I'm just shocked you went back to work there! You could have made small talk, now it's just weird. I decided not to let my ex control where I work, and I love all my other coworkers there. I feel badly enough now, thanks to my parents saying I should have greeted her, but I work in front end and she works in bakery, so we never see each other during our shifts. I didn't even know she was working today until I went upstairs.
