Hi Sea Monkey

This is what I meant by not developing passive aggressive traits. I know this is hard on you and there is no denying that this will take time to resolve.

Do not reply coldly. Dont be afraid of going to work. Hey, you have not committed any crime here. Instead you should feel very proud of yourself that you have the decency to let this guy sort himself out. How many women are capable of such an act ?

Stand proud and act with pride. If someone judges you, let them do so but you pls dont judge yourself. If you are not kind to yourself, who will be then ? Take some time to show love to your inner child and adult. @lightsource, your insight will help sea monkey greatly.

Be YOU around him. If you cant be, then take this as a challenge to become more authentic YOU. Treat it like a life test in which you are going to come out a winner regardless.

Hang in there.
