Nobody can stop you. We will all tell you dont do it and you will do it anyway. Eventually after hurting yourself over and over you will stop on your own!! It happens when you face reality and stop living in a fantasy. If its over its over!!! Respect yourself....he is not texting you is he?? Why are you texting him??

When was the last time you've heard from him? And what do you want to say to him anyway that's so important?

Lock your phone in the car! This is especially helpful for those late-night temptations.

I don't have a car, hehe!
I want to text him cos I started NC 10 or 11 days ago, I miss the contact.
Yes he was texting me and meeting me until I said I need space, he wants to see me, but he understands I need space.
He left 4 months ago nearly after 18 years.

Then I think texting him would be needy.

Wait until you are ready to have open and honest conversation with him on the phone. No texts.

Unless your going all out NC, and don't plan to ever talk to him again, which I understand from your situation that would not be practical.

About 4 days ago, but he said to me a couple of weeks ago that he'd see me every day and be on the phone to me all the time if he could (if that wouldnt be bad for me), he wants a lot of contact, but he said he will respect that I need space, he said he'd be thinking of me and would be happy to hear from me anytime.

So...... maybe leave it outside somewhere? Or let the battery run down. Do you know his phone number? If not, and you aren't ready to delete it or block him, write it down and hide it somewhere, then delete everything. Anything that would put a few extra steps between you & the desire.

You don't need to cut everything off if you're not ready, but at times like this, maybe just try to make it logistically difficult for you to give in to the urge.
