What should i do?

i cant seem to get over my ex.

I doubt we will ever get back together (been split up 3 months) and hes treated me pretty badly and i feel as though i would never want to get back with him, even though i still love him, but i just cant help ringing and texting. I know that the more i ring the more hurt i feel so why do i keep doing this. My ex only phones me when he wants something or he's drunk.

Id really love to hear peoples experiences and advice.

thanks x

hlskitten agony auntHi

You are really going to have to go cold turkey on this one.

Like people have to do when they stop smoking for instance. Like Rhythmandblues2 said, this is an habit for you! Its much the same for anyone that comes out a relationship, you were in a habit.

But you need to claw back some pride because you know it wont work & you dont want him back so i would say the reason you're finding it hard is because your pride is hurt he doesnt want back & like we said, the habit.

I personally would delete his number & be extremely strong & never ring him or txt again! Txt him once & say to him you need to do cold turkey & you dont want to hear from him again. Maybe in the future, then put the phone away, have a cry, then thats it! End of. End of an era, start of the new!

Do it! It will hurt like mad at first but if you carry on like this you just wont move on and it will be prolonging the pain.

Good luck.

You have made him a bad habit, and you are just unwilling to move on with your life....it hurts but you have to sit on your hands, put the phone in the freezer and leave it at home if you have no will power....just stop, give yourself time to grieve and move on to other activities and family and friends to support you during this time, it will get better and you can do this....this guy does not deserve any of your attention.
