Ooooo, Ale, I would nip this right in the bud. I get that working together makes no-contact really tricky, but do not let him do this. He doesn’t get to dump you and then have you as a lunch buddy and a spotter at the gym and someone to do favors for him. No. Fucking. Way. You are not friends.
What I would do is explain to him that, since you’re no longer in a relationship, you need time and space to move on. Let him know you will not be communicating any more than as necessary as colleagues. Cut him off from text, email, social media, etc. Any contact should not exceed a “hi” in the hallway at work and enough civility to not make things awkward or unprofessional. I can see this guy being like “oh, we’re bff’s!” and then the next day showing off some new chick. Protect yourself so you can heal.
I’m on the regular pill, and my period is extremely regular, but every once in a while it’s a day late. Plan B, as I recall, has a lot of hormones (the one time I took it, it made me really nauseous) and I’m sure it throws your cycle off. You’re probably fine, but yeah, just get a store-brand test so you can stop stressing.
They obviously were going well if you had four or however many dates and you were having fun. I’d give him a few days, and if he’s not picking the communication back up, assume he’s probably out. For right now, though, I wouldn’t read much into it, as he’s been dealing with this family tragedy.
Ah, shit, I’m sorry. That must feel like hell. I know three years feels like a long time, and it is… but he could have let you hang on for several more years, uncertain about the future. Now, after a little while of feeling awful, you’ll be available to meet a guy who will be on the same page as you.
