Five years after we broke up, my ex-boyfriend James Carter showed up at my company to discuss a partnership. After the meeting, his girlfriend, Emily Clark, cornered me in the break room. Her eyes were red, and she looked fragile and pitiful. "I know you still can't get over James, but have some dignity. "We're getting married soon, so don't you think it's embarrassing to cling to him like this?" I was completely baffled. As the client-side CEO for this deal, I had kept things strictly professional the entire time. I only discussed work with him and didn't give him a second glance. His fiancée must have watched too many melodramatic TV shows and started imagining herself as the heroine in some over-the-top CEO romance.
