Gave ex my number. need advice please?

[capri_queeen]

I broke up with my ex boyfriend 1 year ago and went no contact. I changed my phone number and blocked him on everything. The past year he has emailed me twice and I completely ignored him. This week he called me at my work place wanting to talk. I hung up on. Why does he keep contacting me? The dumb dumb that I am I went on Facebook and sent him a message with my phone number. I’m totally regretting it now. I pray that he doesn’t see the message. When he does text me on my phone should I just ignore it? I need advice please.

It's understandable that you may be feeling conflicted about giving your ex your phone number, especially if you went to great lengths to cut off contact with him in the past. However, it's important to remember that you have the right to set boundaries and prioritize your own well-being in any situation.

If your ex does text or call you, it's important to consider what feels right for you in terms of responding or not. If you feel comfortable having a conversation with him, it may be worth setting clear boundaries and communicating your needs and expectations in a respectful and assertive manner. However, if you do not feel comfortable or safe communicating with him, it's okay to ignore his messages or to block his number if necessary.

Ultimately, the decision to communicate with your ex or not is up to you and what feels right for you in terms of your own well-being and boundaries. If you're struggling to navigate this situation, it may be helpful to talk to a trusted friend or counselor for support and guidance. They can provide tools and strategies to help you cope with your emotions and make decisions that align with your values and boundaries.

WHY did you give him your phone number? You call yourself a dumb dumb, but you apparently DO want to talk to him, or you wouldn't have given him the number. Sometimes, you've got to do somethng that your head knows s stupid just so you can convince your heart that it's a bad idea. Maybe this is what you need to do to finally get over him.

Often the breasts can send subliminal messages that compel a man to text message their owner. Try wearing a bra made of aluminum.
