how to survive breakup with a coworker/business partner?
I fell in love with a coworker/business partner, and now it’s over and he has dumped me. I recognize it was unwise to get involved with him in the first place for this very reason – it will be extremely painful to have to be around him constantly. We were very good friends before we dated and our lives are very integrated. What is the best thing to do? Pretend I am not hurt and "fake it til I make it"? How do I survive his dating others, since that is a seemingly overwhelming agony? Our business venture is really starting to take off and it is our mutual dream so leaving it just isn’t an option… Thanks in advance.

i am lost
DON’T MAKE THE HONEY WERE YOU MAKE THE MONEY
Remember that
You should keep as close friends because I know it’s super painful not to be around him but it’s also painful being with him so you should try to act less invovled then you were when you were together but still act as a friend should. The same thing is happening with me except it’s not a work…it’s worse, school. If it really bothers you so much then you really should ask your boss to change your work place or something like that so you can avoid him. Remember to still wave and smile at him but don’t give any hints like winking or flirting or excesive smiling or laughing cuz he’ll think you want to get together. GOOD LUCK!
There is an old saying; "Never sh*t, where you eat"………..that means; don’t date people from your job………he’ll be easier to get over; if you find another man. (but not one from your job) I wish you luck; & wish, someone would of told you about this saying, "before" you started dating a co-worker.
dont look him in the eye and just ignore him
You just have to deal with the reality. I cannot think of anymore advice because you wanted your career so as you said Leaving the business is not an option. You have no other escape but to deal with it everyday. Have patience, it is hard to get over him because you see him around. So, you just have to get that fake smile seeing him everyday. And seeing him dating new guys. Just pretend you are not affected. He dumped you so don’t let him feel he is the winner and you are the lose. What to do right now is prove to him that he was not a great loss and you are so over him. Concentrate on other people and your work. I know it is hard but I hope you will try to move on
I think you should start by talking to him about how you feel. Tell him that you are hurt by what happened, but you want to try getting back to being friends/partners. Especially for the business. If he is going to date, ask that he keep it out of your face while you are still hurt and adjusting. The more he understands your position, the more sensitive he will be to what happened. And finally, I would start going out more with your other friends to meet new people (even if you don’t want to date anyone right now, just talking can be fun!). It will be much easier to accept what happened if you start moving on, not just thinking about it! I hope this helps – good luck!
Am in this exact situation will love a response from someone who has been through this and gotten over that person
