How do you get over a break up when you have to see the person everyday?

I dated someone I work very closely with for almost 7 months. We hadn't planned to date at all, but the chemistry was there, things moved rather quickly and before we knew it we were in a very serious relationship. We were in many ways spending almost 24x7 together because of our work and relationship. Things were great, great chemistry, similar interests, yada yada yada.





I noticed him pulling away but figured it had to do with another situation. I was wrong and found myself on the ';wrong'; end of a breakup, with someone who admits he still cares for me and for whom I have very strong feelings for. We have to see each other everyday and work 10 feet from each other. We're both trying to move on, but frankly all I want is to put things back on track, even though realistically I know that's not likely to happen.





Changing jobs is not a realistic option in this job market, so I will be seeing him everyday for the next few years.





How can I get past this tight feeling in my chest and the overwhelming urges to cry?How do you get over a break up when you have to see the person everyday?
Get back with him. If you guys are like that and you ';love him'; and he ';still cares'; then it's worth a shot. I don't se why you guys broke up. It was a stupid superstition and he may have just had some family issues.





Go for getting back and if you really can't get back together then you should just see a therapist or talk it over with him. See what happens. Believe!How do you get over a break up when you have to see the person everyday?
i've been in a similar situation


it's truely awful


i guess theres no quick cure for it, is there no way you could change department within your workplace?


the only way to get past this is time, the longer you are apart the easier it shall get, who knows in a few months you two may get back on track or least start talking again
oh god i feel so sorry for you that must be awful. As they say work mates should be off limited but hey you cant help who you fall for. The thing you have to remember is you only life once. Just give that a thought. Do you really want to get over him? This may sound cheesy but if your head doesnt want to do it your heart wont follow. Sounds like you to have some talking to do
you can try having a social life outside of work or start dating again. work is only 8 hours. think of your social life while at work which will take your mind off him. or you can look for another job,go on interview, then decide to switch jobs or not.
Talk to him resolve what happened and just be friends.
