I dated this guy I met at work for about 2 months this summer. Things weren't exactly great, however. He has depression and is an alcohol abuser; I was trying to help him with it but he would never talk to me. Eventually, it got to the point no words were ever spoken between us and I finally brought it up. Well, talking basicly turned to breaking up.

So we've been broken up for over a month, and I've had mixed feelings over it. He wasn't the right guy for me, but I still care about him and still would like to be friends. And here's where I'm completely frustrated! We see each other quite often because I am a bartender and he comes to my establishment a few times a week. He never says a word to me, it's like I'm invisible to him. He won't look at me, anything. I'm just ready to explode! And it hurts me alot to have someone that I was close to intimately to just disregard me like that.

How can someone just shut down like that? I don't get it...I can't do it; and he expects me to just get over it. Idk but I hate this and I'm going to have to deal with it for a while because I can't quit my job. Any advice on ways to deal with someone like this?
