Are you worried about gossip at work????

The only thing I can suggest to you is to hold your head up high. You may not have had this association with him if it was not for your grief....He's certainly an immature young man if he brags at work.(Is that
what's worrying you?). Of course his lying about being available is very wrong.

My bet Depressed, everyone already knows what a conniving creep he is...as you
said one woman blew him off on something he was saying. As I said earlier, keep your head up. Your sense of decency should remain strong, and don't bow your head to anyone over this. a mistake, you have learned from....look everyone in the eye and don't give any leverage to anyone about what he possibly said. Also, don't let yourself get paranoid over this and continue to heal in a healthy way.

Being vulnerable after loosing a loved one is something we all are. Don't beat yourself up over this; as likely this would have not taken place except for that vulnerability.
Needing someone to talk to and share your feelings with.... that's natural. Picking the wrong person to share that with...that's likely true for a lot of us.
Take your pride and dignity to work with you, he's scum!!

Hugs, bj
