7 ways to keep your ex from contacting you for good
Here are some of the steps you can take to ensure that your ex gets the clear message that you want to go into the “no contact” phase.
#1 Say it right from the breakup. When couples break up, what you usually talk *or fight* about is the fact that you no longer want to be with each other. What many couples fail to mention is what you expect from your ex after the breakup. Some say they want to remain friends after a certain period of time. But if you want a no contact phase from the very start because you think you need the time to heal, say it clearly.
Tell your ex that you don’t want to talk to them or see them for a while. Clearly state what “a while” is, whether it’s a week, a month or even a year. A clear timeframe gives your ex a specific time in which he/she can contact you again. Also, you can use phrases like “If you care about me, please respect my decision to not be in contact with you until I’m ready.”
