Why deep sighs?

[Jimmy-672336]

There is this women I work with we used to get a long really well but we have had serious unresolved issues for months. Every time I walk past her office she sighs or anytime she walks past my office she sighs. Also, she puts me in the silent treatment and I stopped trying to fix things. So we haven’t had a meaningful conversation in months. I feel like she’s constantly fighting me in her own way and won’t give up and just talk. Should I start talking to her again? She is my boss.

Well for context I pulled away from her because I thought we were having an emotional affair and that’s when she started acting funny. I found she told me stuff about her kids her husband didn’t know. The trouble is I really do like her but when we do talk there’s to many butterflies and I’m struggling to find a good balance. She’s obviously miserable we’re not talking but I’m afraid it’s going to go to far but she’s so hurt it’s hard for her to even communicate she looses her voice and get nerv

All this to say it breaks my heart and I want her to be happy. I’m actually taking a new job soon because of this but I feel like there won’t be an closer

If she is your boss, you have to be able to communicate with her. Perhaps she is having issues outside of work and that is the reason her behaviour is different. That can happen. I would avoid any non business conversation though. There is no need to get personally involved again, especially with your boss.

What happens when it goes bad, like it sort of has? Things can get really messy. She could target you and make your work life miserable. It is already sort of happening since you are worried about it.

Just keep it professional and just to business at hand. No need to start getting back to those deep conversations. Leave her personal life out of it and focus on your job. She may come back around and have a more normal relationship with you again if you do that.

As for what the problem she is having is... who knows? It could be anything from financial problems to family. Best leave that personal stuff for her to figure out. She also may have concerns about the business. Any number of things could cause the change.

If you can patch things at least to some degree its better
If she is just trying to be an ass I guess ignore her as much as you can and her way of doing it

It's time to sit down and talk with her.
