Thanks guys- I do agree with you. If I could stop all contact with him, I would. Unfortunately until I find another job, I see him daily. He's actually in the office right beside me and we 'face' each other with a paper thin wall between us. I hear everything he says (I've startd turning on music)- and no- rearranging things isn't an option. I often hearing him talking to his next 'victim' and I have to admit that it DOES still bother me. It hurts. I believed in him.
On Friday I took him outside and told him straight up that I no longer wanted to be friends. In a tactful, yet, direct way-I told him he was a liar and manipulator and that I didn't have time for that in my life. He said he still wanted to be my friend (manipulation- making ME out to be the bad guy). I told him that if that ws the case to not get upset if I didn't respond to him.
He sat through the whole conversation with a slight smile on his face. His expression pretty much never changing. If someone called me straigh up a liar and manipulator- I would defend myself (and yes- he did try to turn it back around and say I was a manipulator-deflection) I do believe he's been through this before. And do you know that in the course of the conversation he offered to be a reference for me to get another job-----and told me he would LIE about me having experience with something I didn't. I called him a liar- he said he wasn't- and then offered to lie.
I don't think this man will ever get it. I'm 30- he's 57 and he just doesn't get it.
Do you guys have any thoughts on what I did? Do you think it was the right approach? I'd just like to know that I did something right in this whole fiasco.
Thanks for your support--

Yeh, I agree, it's called taking a mental helath
break.
Take time off from it.
It's not an emergency.
They are adults and can take care of themselves.
If it's an emergency they can call 911 (duh!).
