How can I refrain from texting me ex back or getting back together with him?

[Anonymous]

We broke up yesterday over false cheating accusations. He’s always mentally abused me & accused me of cheating but this time it went too far. I cannot do this anymore but it’s so hard because he’s constantly trying to get a reaction, even if I block him he’ll get ahold of me some other way. How can I refrain from texting him back or wanting to get back together with him to minimize this pain I have in my chest. My heart wants him so bad but my brain knows he’ll never change.

You and only you can stop yourself from doing it again, whatever advices you given. Learn to love, value and respect yourself. This is an example of gaslighting. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim’s mind. www.newportinstitute.com/.../

You gotta steel yourself and realize what's best for you. At the end of the day knowing your self worth is the biggest thing, and if he's abusive and toxic then you should know what's best for you, even if your heart disagrees

Meeting other guys would make it much easier to put him in the rear view mirror
