At work, I started work­ing with this guy. The prob­lem? He looks and acts like my ex. The ex who still haunts my dream, and I have loved more than any man. I am really dread­ing work­ing with this guy any longer. He makes me think about my ex more than I should. It’s crazy how every­thing about this man reminds me of him:

The way he walks, his clothes, his cocky atti­tude, his smile, the way he bites his bot­tom lip when he is think­ing, the way he stares at me, how seri­ous he is when he is talk­ing, but in a sec­ond, he begins to smirk

I can tell he is inter­ested in me, but this dopple­ganger makes me want to run the other way. It makes me think about how obsessed and blind I was. When this dopple­ganger talks and stares at me, I feel the urge to pas­sion­ately kiss him, but then I remem­ber that he isn’t my ex. All that is left is this feel­ing of lone­li­ness that has creeped up on me.

What should you do if you work for some­one who reminds you of your ex? All you can do is grin and bear it. One thing I have started to do is not look at this man as much as I was before. If I feel myself think­ing about my ex, I quickly think about some­thing else. Keep­ing busy is key.

Will this lonely feel­ing go away? It will when I stop work­ing with this man. Let’s just hope that it’s soon.
