<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

We are physically separated (as in it'd take hours to visit by plane, land, or sea). We were only together ~1 year (a bit less), but she just has this hold on me. Our work environment is very small, and I am afraid that by 'outing her,' I am going to be made to be the bad guy. 

I am using a throw away for this because I want to know if there is any way to marginalize the effect that an abuser has on you if you **have** to remain tangentially related for work reasons? The relationship was emotionally and mentally abusing. At times physically. 

The last 'encounter' we had was her calling me for consolation due to a loss only to be told that she was regretting re-initiating contact and kicking me out again.

Is this a possible situation to manage, or should I leave my job? I care about her too much to jeopardize hers. 

Thank you for reading.
<bot>: Trying to get out of a less than year relationship. Physical distance not an issue, emotional attachment a bigger one. Have to work together sporadically unless I decide to leave my job.
