But, what you can do is refuse to speak to your ex about anything other than work. You don’t want to make things awkward for each other or for any of your colleagues, so you can’t just straight up ignore each other. If you’re seeing each other at work every day, though, and worse, if you’re forced to communicate in person each day, radio silence can be difficult. This is so that both you and your ex can create some space and start to think rationally about the circumstances that ended your relationship and you can each decide independently how you want to move forward. If you’ve ever searched online about what to do after a breakup (guilty), you’ve probably come across the “no-contact rule.” The basic concept is that you give radio silence to your ex for about a month: no phone calls, no text messages, no tagging them in memes online, and certainly no hanging out. Here’s what I’ve been doing so far, and it seems to be working: Don’t speak to your ex outside of work (at least at the beginning of the breakup) There are a few do’s and don’ts but when you’re in the middle of the drama, it can be difficult to differentiate them.
GIVE HIM RADIO SILENCE PROFESSIONAL
So how do you deal with a breakup when your ex is part of your professional life? When you work with your ex, though, it’s really hard to create that space. But being able to create space from your ex makes them much easier so you can actually sort out your thoughts and feelings on your own, regardless of what your ex might be doing. Don’t get me wrong –– breakups are never easy. I fall into the latter category, along with many others, and I’m here to tell you (and I’m sure everyone else would agree) that maybe the biggest reason getting involved with a coworker is a no-no is that if or when the breakup comes, that breakup is going to be rougher than most.Īfter a breakup, normally all we want to do is cry, eat ice cream, and avoid our exes like the plague while we try to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and try to rebuild our lives without the other person in them. While this is a sound bit of wisdom, some of us listen and some of us don’t. You’ve heard the age-old advice: don’t get romantically involved with your coworkers, for a plethora of different reasons.
