Dated Much Younger Coworker..Big Mistake

I made the mistake of getting involved with a much younger coworker. I can't even believe I allowed this to happen since I am so much older, but I suppose I had a need to still feel attractive after a horrific divorce and raising four daughters alone.
Nevertheless, I wound up feeling used and hurt; he walked away smug and uncaring. Now I'm working with this guy every day in a small office and it's very uncomfortable. Yesterday I was upset and I sent him a text saying F#%@ You....not good. I can't afford to leave my job, but am looking for another to remove myself from the stress I face every day seeing him there. If I had it to do over....no way...wouldn't happen!:sad2::upset::upset:

i know it's gonna be hard, but try to focus on other things when you are at work. try to repair your relationship with him to have at least civil behaviour when around each other. that feeling of hurt and disappointment will go away just give it time.

Poor thing. Hope you can find a new job soon.

Tho, if you are older... any chance you are his superior and can get rid of him? Or make his life hell so he leaves, in subtle non-f-you type ways?

Just asking. I know it was your mistake, but YOU are the one with kids to support, afterall.

Guess I don't believe in rubbing someone's face in spilled milk when they are already lapping it back up themselves, Dig. As you already know yourself.

Guilt and punishment is overrated. Giga's "I will fix this" is more suitable. Her getting a new job or him leaving would work by way of solution.
