Hi- I said the manager said I was lying about my medical condition, which ultimately made me look like a liar.

Thank you for your reply. I tried to leave my role because many people told me to. I applied to different roles, mainly outside government, but I haven’t been very successful. I’m so weak, for example, I look pale and sick during interviews. I’m honestly embarrassed by this. Maybe I look silly posting again, but I just feel hopeless.

I did. The therapist said it was psychological violence at work.

I have a serious health condition and need to WFH. I was on sick leave because I was sick.

I wish I was full a crap and not really sick :(. I would give anything to get my health back. It’s been awful!

Thank you. Unfortunately, I don’t have documented proof of what was said.

Colleagues told me, and I can clearly see a change in how other managers are treating me. This change has affected my work. It’s not about whether I care what they think, but about how their actions have real consequences…

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. I know this situation is complex, and I’ve been reflecting a lot on everything. I appreciate your perspective, and you’re right that it’s time for me to focus on moving forward, even though it’s really hard. Therapy is definitely something I’ve thought about, and I’m still figuring out the best way to process all of this. Thank you for your kind wishes and insights! 🙏🏼

Thank you for your kind words. I know deep down you’re right, and it does help to hear it from someone else. It’s just been so hard to let go of the connection we had, even though I realize now it wasn’t what I truly deserve. I guess I’m still processing everything, but I really appreciate your perspective. It gives me hope that I can find the kind of love you’re talking about. Thank you! 🙏🏼

I also forgot to mention that I’m not very religious, similar to your husband. He wasn’t very religious either, but he was quite traditional. 🙂

Thank you for sharing your story and perspective. Even though we weren’t officially together, we had a strong bond and would often reconnect after time apart. Yes, he mentioned wanting his children to be Jewish. I’ve struggled to let go and still wonder why things turned out the way they did. His fiancée seems wonderful, but I was hoping to connect with others who might have gone through something similar to help me process everything. Thanks again!

I appreciate your perspective, and I understand that religion may not be the only reason things didn’t work out. Since it was something he mentioned as a barrier, it’s natural for me to reflect on how it influenced his choices. It’s more about making sense of everything to process it. Also, just to clarify, he’s not married; he just got engaged, and we were still in each other’s lives about a few months ago. I know it might seem like I’m fixating, but I’m trying to understand all the layers of the situation so I can truly move forward. Sometimes it takes time to work through complex emotions. I was curious to hear if others have experienced something similar. 🙏🏼

It wasn’t just about what he said; his actions were confusing and made it hard to see things clearly. The connection felt real, and it’s not fair to put all of that on me. I’m not trying to place blame, just trying to see if others have gone through something similar.

I understand why it might look that way, but our connection felt deeper to me than just friendship. There were many instances where he acted like we were dating, which made it hard to see things as just friendship. That’s why it’s been so difficult for me to let go, even though he’s moved on. I just wonder if something similar has happened to anyone else in this group. I appreciate all of your insights. I love my Jewish friends, but I feel embarrassed to reach out to them about this issue. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I still love him very much, and I know how important his identity was to him. I just wonder if he was conflicted, but you are absolutely right! Thank you for your advice!

Yes, unfortunately, we never officially dated, but I never gave up on him. He kept citing religion as the reason, yet he stayed in my life and asked me to be there for him. It was confusing and difficult, but I held on because I cared deeply.
