Generally, people should not date coworkers.  The break up is usually bad.  I don't think this is the case tho.  :)

That is tacky for the other person to bring the issue to work. 

If we knew the issue, everyone might be able to give you ideas on how to play it down.  But, then we might figure out your store.  So, I do not recommend giving details...

Ask him to stop bringing issue up at work.  Either the two of you can work it out outside of work or you won't be friends.

Google Streisand effect.  Try to play the issue down at work and settle it outside of work.  Don't draw too much attention to it.  Don't let it get under your skin or effect your job.

Don't worry, plenty of drama at work so he will latch onto something different eventually.

Good luck.

I only spend time with one coworker outside of work for leisure.  I do not fraternize on social media.  I refuse to sign up for facebook.  I avoid in work drama as much as possible...

   Exactly why I don't make friends at work! It is also the reason I'm glad I don't work in the same store as family members. It just doesn't work out well. Everyone will know your business. Kroger employees love to gossip. This is the main reason I talk to no one.

There's only a couple people i'd say are good friends outside of work out of the 3 stores i've worked in. I hung out with one friend yesterday after work, we've gone to the mall and out to eat and stuff like that. We fight and bicker like a married couple so any drama we'd have, we'd fight it out one way or another, lol. But in your case, if they're really a friend they would stop bringing drama into the work place.

The two very best practices you can do: don't fk anybody from work, don't facebook em either. And tweak your privacy settings as high as they will go, and clean out any potential red flag 'friends' already on your list. Because trust me: there are people who will snoop your page to literally just spy on and talk sh!t about you.

 This is why I DON'T have Facebook or other social media to add folks to like that. And at best I'm "friendly-ish". Meaning I mind my p's and q's at work. Try and be kind, nice enough, and respectful/courteous to my fellow co-workers. And yes, from time to time I may go out to eat with a few here and there. But there is like only one that I ever go out book shopping with or we do lunch or something like that. But for the rest, I think you can tell who you can allow close and who you can't. Based off their reactions and how they treat others is very telling. 

I'm sorry you are going through this issue OP. I wish there was some advice I could give for your situation. But best I can tell you, is to take this situation as a learning one. And in the future be mindful of who you let into your inner circle.
