How many of you change your phone number after a bad breakup?

[Anonymous]

And isn't that a tad drastic...

[rdr005]

I've never experienced a break-up... so I can't say yes or no to that,... however... I have grown away from certain people... and it got to the point where just hearing from them bothered me and became annoying. I was tempted to change my number just to avoid these people... but I'm way too lazy. Perhaps when I get my phone upgraded I might do it.

That said... I can see that its not really drastic if the mere notion of just seeing that person's ex pops up on their phone annoys them, then it might be a relief to not have to worry about that person contacting you anymore. Then there are the ex's that like to harass by asking questions like, "how are you?" out of the blue and play mind games. If issues as such can be avoided, then there's no problem in changing you number... furthermore you can get your contacts transferred to another phone if that's what happens, so you can just tell your friends that you care about your new number and avoid other people you don't want to have it.

That is a tad drastic, unless of course the ex starts harassing you 24/7 and sends threatening texts, phone calls, and the like. At that point, change of address seems reasonable.

Usually ignoring the text/calls is enough.

i changed mine after one bad break up, but he had an alcohol problem and I didn't want him calling/texting when drunk. I didn't change it after the last break up, which was a pretty messy break up. It depends on the guy, ifyou know him well, you'll know if you should change your number!

[tyt_2012]

I didn`t change my number but I did block his number and no, it wasn`t drastic to block him. It was the only way to get him to leave me alone. It would have been drastic to get a new number though but if persisted I would have changed my number too.

[lananoel]

I blocked his number because he wouldn't stop calling and txting me. I had a new boyfriend and he wouldn't accept the fact that I was serious about him. Couldn't change it. Had filled out to many apps.

[Summeroflove]

I haven’t but I have heard of it. Nobody should be forced to change their number from someone. Some people are crazier then a bedbug and you just never see it until after you let them into your life.

I’ve met people myself who seemed like good upstanding people who turned out to be crazier then a outhouse fly. It’s why it takes time for me to really trust someone.

Look I’m a bit crazy myself lol. But not to the point where I just do stuff like that

[OlderAndWiser]

Why? You can just block your ex.

i've had my same phone number since the day i got my first phone in like 9th grade.

i never had a breakup, let alone a bad one. but i've had terrible issues with guys being rude to me but that was their problem, not mine. they simply could just block me if i was an issue or vice versa.

[Sour-rose]

Change my whole number... because of a n*gga who decided to drop me before I dropped him? That's... very drastic. :) Wouldn't do at all unless this mofo was blowing up my phone trying to get me back

[molonski2]

I wouldn't probably go that far , if getting harassed or the like , I'd simply block them there are so many available means of communication open these days , I'm not sure that simply changing your number would work too well anyhow.

I lost my phone last year, which I've had for years and is paid for by my employer. They couldn't get me a new phone with the same number quickly so I opted to go with a new number and get a new phone asap. I will never do that again. It's been a bigger PITA than I ever imagined. My advice is don't ever change your number unless you absolutely have to.

[WeaponZero]

I've had the same cell phone number for as long as I've had a cell phone. It would take a hell of a lot for me to change it. And I can't see a breakup being "a hell of a lot."

[Juliana7]

I had to change it when I broke up with my ex because he was stalking me...recently I also had to change my bumber again because some weirdo was stalking me too.

[DermalPunch]

It isn't drastic. It's a good idea. Bought me so much place of mind. Also, it's a goodreminder to br very cautions so I don't have to go through such a disruption again.

[Nikki1989]

Nah, my phone is turned off for most of the day anyway, so I don't care who has my number.

[exitseven]

No, but I think it might be hot to have a girl call me at all hours calling me all kinds of names and yelling at me. It would be sort of a turn on and maybe I would get back with her

[strateguy632]

no doubt. we have option to block numbers. so no need to change. if they call me from another phone, they did, i ask who? and disconnected.

[qwert1234]

I don't because it's a hassle to update all things.

So unless a person harasses me, I won't just talk to them. Thankfully never happened yet.

[WeaponZero]

I've had the same cell phone number since I moved from FL to Pittsburgh in 2002. And I've never once changed my phone number over drama.

[DonMichelle]

Very drastic, a bit sad to be honest. Don't give the person you've split up with the satisfaction

[worldscolide]

Based on my ex's abusive behavior, and her attempts to hurt me and ruin my life after i kicked her out, yeah i changed my phone number and moved to a different town, i also changed my name...

[Legendarylegacy13]

Yes, but I change my number a lot anyway. thats so they can't call you if they miss you. Cause you could be doing a lot better without them but be very horny.

[sheikalana]

Never done this. Never had a break up that made me change my number. If it was that bad I'd rather just block their number.

[whorable]

i’d they’re crazy and using a temp number app just to harass me then yes

[TrueConfection]

I haven't been through a bad breakup before, but my phone has a block feature.

[midnightmoon05]

Never have.
i deal with the situation and be clear with my intentions.

[jjamiie]

I'd never change my number because of a breakup. I'd block their number, if I had to.

[Peter_Penetrator]

Just block there number. If they harass you from a different phone, get that restraining order.

[humanearth]

Never change it. I had the same phone number since 1986

[7gnat]

I have had to. Some women just stalk and stalk and stalk

[InMyHeart]

not me. If I don't want to talk to him, I'll just block him.

[Wise4myage]

I've never done that, but I might consider doing that if an ex wa blowing up my phone 24/7.

[Likes2drive]

Never have changed it in 20 years and it’s a cellphone number

[Sparkie460]

I only had landlines when I was dating. I never changed my phone number.

[Luopio27]

I changed mine after a male toxic friend. I dod it because Im scared of him.

I change numbers rarely, sometimes you want a fresh vibration, new energy
