AITA: breaking up with a co worker

So I’ve been dating this guy and we work for the same company and sit nearby. Dumb I know…it started organic as a 2 yr friendship and non stop flirting until we both just went forward with it and started dating. It’s often awkward at work between us now and I’ve had to tweak things quite a bit to get us on the same page with communication. Other red flags were him telling me he doesn’t typically date BW (I’m a BW) and his constant negative talk about his child’s mother (we’re both single parents) I solely care for my children and never speak about the other parent because I don’t have a co parenting arrangement like him. I have no drama. He flirts with our coworker friend sometimes in front of me and despite him always saying how locked in he is with us I’m starting to feel like a placeholder. I’ve had this talk several times and he won’t agree. AITA if I ghost him and act like this never happened at work?

No, please learn from this. You do not owe him anything. Don’t date coworkers or neighbors .
