Coping in the office

There are so many unfortunate repercussions of having gotten involved with an N. It never seems to end, as though one were paying for the mistake over and over....

I'm really trying to cope with working in the same office as the ex-N. It is like prison, in some ways. Despite trying to live my life and go NC, I'm faced with his ongoing manipulations and now another woman on his radar (they just took a "business trip" as "co-workers", but I know the truth). After his trip, he had the audacity to make a new connection to the boss on Linked In. He thinks he can win at everything.

They are the losers (cheaters, liars, schemers, fakes), but the things they get away with are astounding. Honestly, some days I just give up--feel hopeless. I can't leave right now (no other options for employment).
