Whats up everyone? I just joined yesterday! Heres the scoop. I dated my ex for 7 months and we broke up and got back together a few times. She had enough and finally broke things off. Heres the twist. We work together and is one of my managers. I'm curious if anyone has been in the same situation and kept their job. I enjoy my job and I want to continue working at this place but its very difficult to work with her. I think I was in love because I just cant seem to cope working with her. Thoughts?

as the familiarity between you two lessens your feelings for her will fade in time also. it can be stressful at work, if it starts to interfere with job performance you may need to talk to human resources about it.

Hence many company policies were made...no dating co-workers. Its really all up to you and her, because some people can do it, some can't. Just like some can "be friends" after a relationship...others can't.

So its up to the both of you and what you are comfortable with.

Hope this helps!

Very, good idea. Be the bigger "man", and show only controlled emotion at work..

first rule of working is don't go out with a co-worker things tend to get messed up
second rule don't date someone over you as things tend to get messed up
since you did both I would hope that she is adult enough not to mix business with pleasure further

wow thank you everyone who has replied so promply. I'm impressed. Were both fine with each other at work but I know that there is still tension between the two of us. I have a theory. Time can heal all wounds...right? I think that after enough time the emotion can go away. I work in a resturaunt which is a flirty business. I am over her but I when I see her smile and flirt with coworkers (no sexual intensions) I still have that foul feeling inside. I dont get it. Do I need closure of some sort? I wish I could get to the point where I can look through her as if she doesnt exist.I spoke with some friends and they told me I just need to get a new girlfriend and I'll get over her. Yeah yeah? Thoughts?

As you said time heals everything, that will take time =).. Not to get back at her but talk to some other people there to take your mind off of her, i work in a resturant too, VERY flirty business especially if your a cook!
