that keeps on giving.....any one else have an ex that wont leave you alone? any tips on how to get them to leave you alone? I left him in april and it is the best thing i have ever done. i didnt realize how unhappy i was until got out. and since then, he will not leave me alone. randomly texting or calling, going from nice i just wanted to see how you were to really mean things like telling me that he cheated on me how ever many times and with who and that it was my fault it didnt work and whatever else. bottom line...i am seeing someone else, and i am very happy with where im at and where im going. and i jsut want him to move on and leave me alone. telling him to leave me alone doesnt work.....im out of ideas..yawn

All you can do is ignore the calls, text messages and email and wait on him to get tired of trying. Best of luck

I thought about that too....but then thats just a piece of paper and he live an hour away and doesnt know where i live now. and as one of the client's (from work) significant other said once..."aint no piece of paper gonna keep me away from you!"

Change your phone number perhaps?

i could change my number....only problem with that is that i have literally had the same cell number for 11 years, and really kind alike having the same one- makes it easier to connect with old friends

Change your phone number is the best solution. If he doesn't get it through his head then, you might have to take other steps.

Telling him to leave you alone may not work. Blocking him won't work, because he will use another phone number to call.

Block him online, but change your phone number. Make sure your friends and family know what is going on and make it clear to them why you are changing your number and you don't want him to know the new number

It may be inconvenient but which is worse? Changing your number and contacting others to let them know the new one or having this guy bother you?

Let him know the next time he texts that you are done and you have nothing to talk about with him and from that point on carry through with that statement by not talking, texting, seeing, asking about, ect... If he is true to form you will get a visit after doing this for a while but you have to tell him you have nothing to say and you wish him well.

You do not have a reason to fear he will hurt you do you? If so you need to take safety measures.

Could you ask your cell company to block his number? Tell them you're being harassed.

delete his text (before reading them) and never, i mean never, return his calls.

by answering him (either way)you are giving him reason to continue this behavior. when you stop so will he.

Wait...I know this is rude but, did you just ask if anyone has gotten the gift that keeps on giving from an ex?

Oh wait...ok, I was about to hi-jack this thread with something else. My bad. I see what you mean now!

I wouldn't even try to deal with this guy. Sometimes you can't remain friends with ex's. You said "telling him to leave me alone doesnt work" so I wouldn't bother trying. Could lead to more trouble or drama.

As annoying as it is....I would change your number.

Like i said before, blocking doesn't do any good....using another number gets around that.

Just ignoring him doesn't do any good. You will still be annoyed and he might try harder or more.

Telling him to not contact you doesn't do any good.

Just put your foot down and stop it yourself. If this doesn't help, you may need to look into legal options.

Best of luck to you. I've been there, done that and know how it feels

Unfortunately it rarely stops until they meet someone else, then they finally move on. Other than the advice above like getting a massive new boyfriend, or the cops - it will continue....
