SummerLady Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 My ex husband keeps calling me and begging me back, we have been divorced 6 months. I am in a serious relationship and I know he has a girlfriend, not sure how serious. He calls me and goes on and on. He crys, he begs, he says he made a mistake, ect ect. I am sure you get the point. Here is the problem I am sick and tired of this. I feel like I am being harassed. He also has threatend to commit suicide. I am a very compassionate person BUT I do not want to get these calls anymore. Short of getting a restraining order what can I do. My lawyer suggested that when he calls if its not about the kids get off the phone that second. I normally don't entertain these calls but when he starts crying and babbling I get stuck on the call for a couple of minutes. My lawyer said if you make a point to hang up on him if its not about the kids he will get the point in some time. Anyone here have these issues. I just want to move on with my life. Other than the kids I do not want to talk to him period. Thoughts???
sadintexas Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Yeah, if you don't want to talk to him, DON'T. Hang up the phone. Pretty simple IMO.

hopesndreams Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 It's not your job to take care of his emotional needs anymore. Don't guilt yourself into thinking it is. His tears could just be crocodile and if they are not---have no sympathy. He's a big boy and can't lean on you, his "mummy" anymore.

Author SummerLady Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 BINGO! Thanks for the feedback. That is what I will do. I am just so F sick and tired of listening to it. I am done. Next time he does this he will get the sound of the phone clicking off. Move on already!
