A WOMAN at work has broken my heart.
She told me from the start she didn’t want a serious relationship but I couldn’t help falling for her.
I’m 35 and she’s 37. We were seeing each other for eight months.
It began when my team started going to the pub on Friday evenings.
One night, we were the last to leave and ended up kissing.
We went back to her place and had sex. After that, we started meeting at weekends.
It felt like a relationship to me.
But she hasn’t been available much lately, and when I asked what was happening, she said she just wants to be friends.
We work together and now I dread going to the office.
ADVICE
She was honest with you from the start. Sad and painful as this is for you, you can’t change how she feels.
Be professional at work to avoid things becoming even more difficult.
In the meantime, concentrate on your work and arrange to see friends to take your mind off her.
