trippi1432 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 A while back someone had posted to my thread that I needed to block my ex's number so he couldn't contact me anymore. For those not familar, my ex is a narcissitic verbal abuser with a very ugly temper (according to him, only when it comes to me - but the rest of his family has seen the brunt of it too). I wasn't sure if it could be done with a cell phone but I was able to block his cell number from sending me text or calling. Being able to block the text messages was the best thing since that is an instant communication that you really can't control reading. Just call your cell carrier and ask them to fully block a specific number for you. The time that they can block may vary from carrier to carrier, but you can renew the block at the end of the time variable. (Mine is every 3 months.) In addition, something else I did due to ex emailing my work and home, I use the Outlook rules engine to permanently delete any email coming from his work or personal email address. This works for now, unless he gets another email address to try, but the best part is the one at work bounces back an email that simply states "This recipient is no longer accepting your emails". I thought that I HAD to put up with him for the sake of our son....now I am liberated because I know that I don't have to put up with him anymore. My ex accused me of being a control-freak....I am happy to say, NOW I DEFINITELY AM WITH HIM. Please feel free to post any other ideas here for implementing NC.
