A female , anonymous writes:

I have been with my boyfriend for awhile and work with his ex. She broke up with him a year and a half ago, has a new boyfriend whom she seems happy with so her current behaviour has me puzzled. She is a player and puts on a really good face to others at the office. Last week a group of us from the office went out for lunch and as she walked by me asked me most disdainfully what I was doing there. She will make little remarks under her breath to me when there is no one else around. I am getting tired of this and want to nip it in the bud. I would like to know if anyone who have any insight as to why she is doing this and how to stop it. I have been trying to ignore it to be professional but know now I need to do something.

layla agony aunti think that she is jealous that you have her ex. i also think that she may still have feelings for him. dont let her get in the way i think that if shes doing this to you, you should ask her and tell her boss. i also think shes being a bit childish too dont let her treat you like a child. good luck xx

She is just jealous of you so the power she has over you as far as work she is taking advantage dont let her.What you need to do is go to human resoures and let them know whats going on if that does not help get her on tape getting smart to you and take to her boss if you want to get rid of her or you can ask her why she is acting the way she is towards you or just kill her with your kindness what ever you do keep it pro.GOOD LUCK

Helen1986 agony auntBasically she is jealous. She may have been the one to end it with your boyfriend but she still cant bare the fact that he too has moved on. I expect she imagined that he would stil be pining for her now but because he is not it has damaged her ego. This behaviour has to stop it is childish and above all it is bullying. Take her to one side and ask her nicely what her problem is, explain that you don't want any trouble and you just want to be able to work peacefully. If she doesn't stop then you will have to speak to your manager, it has to stop nobody should put up with being bullied.
