I'll preserve this lovely work of fiction, since Snappy has apparently taken a shit
Long story short this professor crossed many professional boundaries with me when I was a student of his last semester. I've since graduated and tried to cut all contact and ties with him, including abruptly ending a project I was working on with him, because of his behavior toward me. I'm a young recent female grad and he has used his position of power beyond what is legally and ethically correct.
A couple weeks ago I finally gained the courage to send him an email telling him it's best we no longer work together. I expected this to be the end of anything with him. It was a HUGE burden off my shoulders...until this morning! He sent me a text asking if I work at this shop in town that I mentioned I had applied to last semester. And I got that job and just started there but for fucks sake he is the last person on Earth I ever want to see walk through those doors. The thought alone of seeing him in MY new place makes my skin crawl. Please help. What do I say to him? I don't want him knowing but I also feel like I can't ignore him or tell him to please piss off AGAIN.
TLDR: I want/need to cut ties with a professor I no longer feel comfortable communicating with.
