Hello /adv/, I think I'm in a predicament, so I thought I'd ask you guys what you'd do in my situation.

I was with a girl for a little over 6 months. We met at work and started seeing each other. (yes, yes, I know, first mistake.)

While we were still together, we changed jobs for better opportunities and pay. She started a couple of months before me at this new job. Let me make it clear that I did NOT take this new job because of her. As I said, better opportunities and pay.

However, we just broke up and it wasn't good at all. I won't get into the details about it, but this is where my predicament is. Should I or should I not go to HR and let them know what happened? It would only be to cover my ass and let them know I'm here for the job and benefits, that I never took it for her. I actually like the job a lot. I want to know if going to HR is a good option, or if I should just continue to do what I'm supposed to and perform at my job well. I'm afraid because eI just started this new job and I don't want to be cut when I know that I'm fully capable of composing myself and not being rude or whatever. I'll be polite and cordial, just as I would be with any other coworker. On the other hand, I don't know if - knowing her melodramatic ass - if I should go to cover my ass.

Hoping for some decent advice. I'm okay with the breakup, but I don't want to lose a job over this. Thanks in advance!

The fact you won't go into it is very concerning. If you won't even tell rando's on a Cambodian Basket Weaving forum then what are you going to tell HR?

>HR is a good option

HR is only there to make sure the company is protected and the way you make it sound its in the companies best interest to "see other people"

Your best bet is to act like nothing happened and go to therapy for whatever the hell you did

If I were you, I would keep quiet and not draw attention to yourself.
