Search Results: needing time and space away

I recently am in a situation where my ex and I are in the same work space. I have known her since childhood and we broke up because of her friends kept telling her I was a manipulative creep, since when we got together she had just gotten out of an abusive relationship and it was known at the time that I had feelings for her for a while. Its been a few years since we really spoke to each other. When I got hired and found out she worked there, I tried to talk things out with her on how to go about the situation since we would see each other almost daily. She says she doesn't care about what I do or the past. However, she has been going out of her way to pretend I never existed in her life. She has been purposefully avoiding eye contact with me, talking to me, saying hi to me, and using her our coworkers/furniture as a shield to put distance between us. However she gives and angry look at me whenever I start to talk with other coworkers and walks away. She swears no other coworkers know about our past but one or two of them have been excluding me from office group events like getting drinks after shift is over. I feel like the others are starting to catch on because we have deadlines where I need to get things done but I have to go out of my way to get the information I need from people around her instead of asking her directly. Whenever I do she says she is busy or one of her office friends jumps in to drag her away.
