flask Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Does anyone have any tips/tricks for getting a recent ex to STOP CALLING/EMAILING/TEXTING you constantly? I'm mostly concerned about texting, as I can filter emails and my phone allows me to block calls (...not texts though, oddly). I could change my number as a last resort, but then there's the headache of letting all my contacts know my new number while simultaneously making sure my ex does not know. I run a petsitting business and a lot of my clients have landlines. Any tips for streamlining that process? I still love the ex and am breaking it off because he doesn't treat me well, and I'd like to start healing without being alternately angrily harassed and pleaded with several times a day. I'm worried that my willpower's going to break and I'll get back together with him if he keeps begging, even though I know he won't stay on good behavior for longer than a week or two if I do. First relationship and still very heartbroken, I don't need this to be harder than it already is.
SendHope Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Have you tried looking at apps for the purpose of blocking text messages (if you have a smart phone)?
mammasita Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 That /\.. All smart phones can block texts. If you don't have a smart phone, a number change isn't that difficult. I think you're rationalizing not doing it because of your ex.
Author flask Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 Nah, unfortunately I just have an old-school Motorola flip phone. I've called both my service provider and the phone company and the most I can do is block calls, not texts. I'll definitely change my number as a last resort, but it's just such a pain, you know?

Agreed, BUT if you truly did not want to hear from your ex - there would be no question.

First relationship and still very heartbroken, I don't need this to be harder than it already is. First of all to answer your question it seems like your only option is the number change. Secondly respond to this part you said, it's quite ironic because people often say don't beg etc. but you actually believe that if he keeps doing it you will crack and get back with him Also have you guys broken up and got back together before?
eduardo23 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 buy a smartphone and get an app to block it.
