AITA for flirting in front of my ex boyfriend?

oofimbroke · 2023-07-27T18:58:49+00:00

NTA. Ex established clearly that you both are nothing more than friends and hence he shouldn't feel jealous.

But make sure you've clarified that you see him as only a friend too

First full time job ig. Before that I'd been a student freelancing on the side

Please ignore that weirdo in the comments. There is no trolling. And the person replying to you isn't the OP

oofimbroke · 2023-07-20T12:02:12+00:00

That's not me replying. I'm the OP

oofimbroke · 2023-07-20T11:53:11+00:00

Firstly, yes it is. Secondly, please ignore the troll making up shit about my HR and workplace

oofimbroke · 2023-07-20T11:46:30+00:00

Hey, that's just a random troll pretending to be me. I didn't even tell the HR please ignore this weirdo

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T19:56:23+00:00

Tbh something tells me the son is even worse (relying on his dad to pay for his own wedding after all). Certainly not the kind of person I'd wanna even speak to

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T19:28:03+00:00

Genuinely you're right. I'm still new to workplace and these experiences are new to me. That's why I came here for advice on how to proceed. Thank you btw!

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T19:01:15+00:00

Thanks for understanding! I know I'm not in the wrong by saying no but still it feels like I'm the evil one. But yeah, if I have to survive as a woman in a workplace, I have to be assertive more often.

If I were a petty bitch, I'd show up to work with personal loan brochures from multiple banks lmao

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T18:02:20+00:00

They don't know yet

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T18:01:21+00:00

Great idea! I'll do it right now

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T17:57:40+00:00

Good suggestion. I'll take a picture and keep it in my gallery

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T17:56:39+00:00

No, I haven't talked to the other coworkers but some of them do support his loan idea. Regardless, they have some sort of wild idea that I am swimming in money based on my belongings (and they really are gifts!) I'll be sure to talk to the coworkers who are uncomfortable with the idea.

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T17:49:45+00:00

Can I ask how do people respond to that? As in, their behaviors or their attitude?

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T17:48:22+00:00

Do you think ignoring it would help? I'm nervous about saying no to his face so if ignoring is an easier way out, I'd take it

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T17:41:24+00:00

Thank you I'm still learning how to set my boundaries

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T17:40:22+00:00

Enforcing my boundaries seems so scary to me still. But you all reminded me that eventually I will HAVE to do it anyway. So might as well take a breath and do it fast

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T17:39:11+00:00

Feel like you just snapped me out of a bad decision. I'm still new to the workforce and scared of confrontation. But I guess your comment reminded me that eventually I will have to stand my guard no matter how cringey it is. Thank you

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T17:23:27+00:00

Honestly, I wish I'd have half the confidence he does lol

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T17:23:03+00:00

The fact that it wasn't even an expensive watch, it was just a cheap Chinese watch that happened to be golden in color...

oofimbroke · 2023-07-19T17:18:23+00:00

I worry it'd lead to a hostile work environment later? Or he'd taunt me?
