Q: Almost a year ago, I broke up with an ex on fairly bad terms. I thought it was more of a situationship, but he thought it was a full-on relationship. I wasn’t ready for anything like that so I thought we were on the same page with both of us being casual. He took it fairly badly and told some of our friends that he was heartbroken. I started to see someone else, but now the problem is that this ex has now started a job in the same company as me. We don’t work together directly, but our paths will cross at meetings and work events. One of my colleagues said that she liked him, but she isn’t aware of our history. I hadn’t seen him since we broke up and didn’t know he was going to be working here. I am worried about how we will manage to work together with this history. We haven’t spoken yet, just nodded at each other and I was a little shocked to know that I will have to work with him now. Will this be awkward or will I bite the bullet and talk to him now?
