How to tell my ex to leave me alone

[Melodic]

Instead of asking about being in a relationship or ending one, I'm asking how to tell my ex to leave me alone cuz I don't like him.

Now to be noted, my ex doesn't have any emotional attachment to me whatsoever. He either cheated on me or used me for sex, I don't really know nor do I care anymore. However, he contacted me today after 5 months of not talking to him. I declined his friendship request and I felt happy for doing this. However, he started messaging me like nothing happened. I don't even care about him and I don't have feelings for him. However I felt the need to respond to him because I hate ignoring people, I feel like a dick when I do it because of how many times people have done it to me.

I'm also extremely horrible at confronting people because I like to avoid the problems that come from it. So I have been blocking him from everything he tries to talk to me with. However, It's really getting tiring having to do that, and I just need to confront the guy so he can leave me alone.



So what should I say? How can I confront this guy?

Ask him why hes talking to you, then if he says anything about getting back with you etc. then tell him that youve moved on

Thanks for the advice. However I just sucked it up and told him I didn't think I could continue talking to him after everything that happened.

Yes that still does the important goal so well done to you. Have you had a different name i think i remember a madie here but not a melodic

I think being straight up and honest with your response was the best thing you could have done. Well done for being mature.

Eh yeah. It caused quite a big argument afterwards but I handled it well. I feel actually 10 times better finally telling him how I felt, even if he kept denying what he did.

Congrats: I'm really glad you feel good about it!

Just say it out directly. Don't care if he's going to get hurt or something.. He didn't even cared about you when he used you months ago. I'm guessing he's asking you to come back to him but trust me, we don't break up with someone then gets back with them. That's just like using the same underwear over and over again.

A friend of mine was pestered by his ex, and what he did was to be really disgusting when she was around. Farting, blowing snot out of his nose in front of her, scratching his balls etc. Eventually she left him alone. There's no guarantee that will work, of course, but maybe it's worth a try? ;)

"I don't like you, leave me alone"
