Hi everyone,

Thank you all in advance for your input.

It’s been a difficult couple of weeks and coming here has made it more manageable. I recently asked for space from my ex, yes he is an ex now . Things got really, really bad just over a week ago , he called me every name under the sun and was incredibly rude and disrespectful, it ended and whilst it hurt I was glad to be out of it. I wished him well and said goodbye.

I have made no attempt to contact him in anyway, i deleted his number out of my phone , I blacklisted him on texts and calls but didn’t block him completely on other instant messaging systems as I really did think that that was the end of that but lo and behold he text me one morning to say hi and good morning. I did not answer .

I decided that he will never hear from me again in any way , his behaviour was atrocious , the things that came out of his mouth was incredulous, thankfully , I didn’t believe any of the terrible things he said about me . I only want to take care of myself now and recover . He has been sending me emails  and has messaged me incessantly today, in one email he’s talked about going to counselling together and how I am the love of his life etc. I believe none of it , I think it is just to draw me back in and I don’t want to be drawn anywhere near him. On one hand, I want to tell him to go away and never speak to me again , move on with his life as I don’t want to be any  part of it. On the other hand, I do not want to engage with him on any level, how could he think I would have anything to do with him after his behaviour?  I’ve started deleting the emails but there are other messages I have not even read. Should I just block him everywhere without acknowledging any of his messages and keep ignoring him  or should I send him a reply of some kind to reiterate that the relationship is over ? I really don’t know but it’s like he is in denial and hoping that I have forgotten and this is all just a phase or something . It leaves me feeling…disturbed .

Thank you for your support.
