I have a particular officemate whom I used to be close with but due to some misunderstandings and some realizations, I have come to terms that my friendship with this person is affecting me negatively and all I can be with that person is to have a civil relationship.
Even before, my officemate was so clingy for some reason. Even in personal matters, he would often be snooping as well as expecting too much from me. I would receive plenty of random messages asking all about the same thing over and over again and it was like a cycle that never seem to end.
When I resigned, I thought and admittedly felt sort of relieved that I won't have too much contact with him anymore. I don't want to burn bridges with anyone but I think that when I left, we were okay.
However, I still get some messages on him on my phone, as well as missed calls on untimely hours and messages on FB. I try to ignore him and whenever I make a reply, I just get bombarded with questions about work. Guess he doesn't get the hint that I quit work for a reason. Some people thought that our failed friendship was the reason I left but that is completely false.
I can't really ignore him as I still need him as my references for my resume. The last I heard about him is from my other officemate who is now feeling the same clingy characteristic from him and even asking for some
