Running into ex who has moved on, I feel sick to my stomach what do I do?

Anonymous

Hi guyssss, I need some advice. I broke up with someone a couple months ago. It was on and off for like a year. We unfortunately work in the same company a couple floors apart. I ran into him with a coworker getting lunch.

He called me later that day, to which I learned he started dating someone new. Someone who he loves very much apparently and views as “the one”. And he said we can never catch up outside of work because of this.

A couple days later, this made me have a severe breakdown. I can’t stop thinking about it or him.

Then, I’ve been randomly running into him at work. I usually never run into him but for some reason he’s been popping up everywhere. We have a firm wide morning meeting and my manager was speaking on it so I went. He usually never goes but he went this time (and I wonder if it’s because he knew my manager would be there).

Then he seems to be ignoring me. To go to this meeting we have to take the elevator up. We ended up standing directly across from each other in the elevator. I deliberately tried avoided eye contact but he also seemed to just straight up ignore me.

it hurts so much. I feel like physically throwing up. Is it coincidentally he’s popping up right after telling me about his new relationship. Why is he ignoring me. What can I do to stop feeling so shit and resist the urge to reach out. I have an urge to text him and just be like you’re torturing me but he’s not and I don't know what to do.

And should I just keep ignoring him back. We don’t work directly together and I would never need to talk to him. But I may see him in the hallways etc
