My ex wont stop calling/IMing me. He is too dependent.

I don't want to talk to him and I really hate not answering phone calls/IMs. I feel bad for the poor guy but he's a little manipulative. He's weak emotionally and really dependent. I can't have that right now. I'm too young and too inexperienced to take care of someone else in addition to myself. When I DO answer the phone, we end up staying on there for at least an hour and it is SO FRUSTRATING!! How do I DEAL WITH THIS??! It's getting very frustrating. Should I give him some closure? Would that help?


End.



:D

Change your number and do not give it out to anyone that might give it to him. Do not answer his phone calls. Simple as that.

My ex called me today, I missed the call but it was odd. He is a fisherman in Alaska now. I hope he doesn't come back here. *crosses fingers*

How can he be dependent on you if you have told him you don't want him? Because if he calls you and you oblige him in conversation for a whole hour, independence from you is not what you're telling him.

You are leading him on by answering the phone or IM's. Stop answering after you tell him not to call any more and stick to it.

if you don't want to keep talking to him, it's important that you do give him closure. He obviously doesn't understand that its completely over between you two.

You need to tell him that you're trying to start a new chapter in your life and that you need some time to just be alone. And, don't enable it if you don't like it.

Do not answer his calls. Do not answer his IMs. Block his access if you have to. He's only prolonging your pain and his.

Block his screenname.set your privacy settings so that only people who you are friends wih can contact you (This should be under privacy settings)
And as much s you hate it, don't pick up his calls. When he leaves you a voicemail delete it before you listen to it.
I've been through this and I know that the only way to get him out of your life is to keep him out. After a while he will get the hint.

Yes we all need closure to end a relationship. That maybe want you need to do by telling him you have moved on and he needs to move on to.
