In the period of the two years we’ve been together, he has blocked me about five times already. Every little misunderstanding we have gets me blocked. He doesn’t care how hurt I feel when he does that. He wouldn’t agree for us to talk about whatever happened. He would just block me until I call and text him with different numbers to apologize for whatever happened. Whether it was my fault or his, I would say sorry for the sake of peace, and also work.

It’s because of this kind of situation that I never wanted to date anyone I work with. I had the same reservations when I started working at my current workplace. That’s where I met John. I didn’t expect anything romantic between us when we began our friendship. After all, I don’t date men I work with.

John seemed different though. The connection between us flowed seamlessly. He was nice, or so he seemed. Despite this, I found it difficult to accept his proposal. I gave him my reason and he said, “You are worried about things getting messy between us as work colleagues if the relationship doesn’t work out. But what if it does?” He told stories of couples living happily together even though they met at work.

In the end, I threw caution to the wind and decided to start something with him. What I did not expect to find beneath his nice personality is a man who blocks me when we have problems. We would go to work and he would ignore me. He has gone as long as an entire month, even two, without speaking to me.

I would call him and send him messages with different numbers but he wouldn’t mind me until he felt he was ready to talk to me. And whenever he did, I let go of my hurt and resumed the relationship.

Recently, we had another small argument. It had to do with a lady he was talking to. All I did was ask, “What’s going on between you and this person?” “Who?”’he asked innocently. I mentioned the lady’s name. He said he didn’t know her. I described the lady. He still denied knowing her. The next thing he did was to turn around and accuse me of things I hadn’t done. Then he blocked me.

As always, I tried to reach him through other numbers but he didn’t respond to any of my calls or texts. While I was trying to get his attention, I found out some of the things he did behind my back.

First, he broke the hearts of a long list of ladies right after he had something to do with them. Then he started making advances on another lady one week after our misunderstanding. She keeps rejecting him but John refuses to give up.

How A Man Can Keep A Relationship Going Without Money

At this point, I just want him to go. But here lies the case where we work together. How am I going to get over this knowing I would have to see him every single time I go to work? It’s already hard as it is. When I see him chatting and laughing with other ladies, something inside my chest twitches, and the pain worsens.

I  am trying to be strong but it’s not working. I want advice on how to deal with this issue of always seeing him and working with him. I hate that I am miserable while he seems to be moving on joyfully.
