What do I do if my ex keeps contacting me?

Show how strong you are, and dont reply, stand by the decisions that have been made. That is one thing about being a grown up, you must stand by your decisions,

No relationship should be deprived of compassion - But, do give them the clarity of where you stand with them, and you can't fulfill their expectations for certain reasons. Personally, I would try and keep things on a positive note. However, if they're abusive or irrational then you might decide to take a more firm action...

Ignore it. Don't get yourself in that situation, and is she/he keeps on contacting you, then block them.

If you are comfortable in talking to him/her , then go ahead answer his/her call. But if you are not then politely ask them to contact you again .

If my ex boyfriend keeps contacting me I take a step back and remember the reason why we stopped talking in the first place.

Avoid at all cost. Your ex,consciously made a decision to keep you away from being a part of their life. Now they are back either because they are curious or because of desperation to

ignore Possibly politely, this is a very unfriendly way. But it should be cut off early, there is no need to continue contact. For ex-boyfriends/girlfriends, many of us can't bear our hearts, and always have an illusion about our ex. In fact, the best way for us is to give up. Another is to be a normal friend This may be the best practice for some people. It is not impossible for an ex to become an ordinary friend. Just imagine, if your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend took the initiative to contact you, there must be something special. If there is nothing, people will not come to you. Be a good friend, help when you are in trouble, and chat when you have something.

Depends on the situation If they hurt you in anyway, you ignore them. Never run back to what hurt you. If you both still love each other, try it again. Everyone deserves a second chance, but not for the same reason.

I found that difficult. I was with my first partner for nearly 9 years. We split up just before he went to prison. I then discovered that he had been living a double life and had another partner in another flat in London. I had no idea. When he went to prison (money fraud - again - I had no idea), I felt so stupid and gullible. Of course I should have known. The signs were there but I ignored them. Then he contacted me and wanted me to visit him in prison. I thought - why? He's just put me through hell. But I did visit him and, looking back, I realise that I did it for me. It helped me put him into the past. It also helped me accept that I would possibly never get all the answers to all the questions that I had. But that was ok. I could move on. When I started dating again, it was difficult to trust someone. I remember following a boyfriend to work one day just to double-check that he was actually going to work! So it took a while to re-build my trust for someone else. But, one step at a time, I did learn to trust again. Years later, I'm happily married and that time feels a lifetime ago.

Don't look backwards, keep moving forward onto something new. Theyre your EX For a reason, don't forget.

Politely tell them to stop trying to contact you and if they still try to keep in contact then you should block them from whatever they are contacting you through. They will get the picture and its simple.

try your best to explain your position and that it is best for him/her to move on. try to be patient and understanding with them with possible, but always keep your personal boundaries your top priority.

block him or just talk to him about that, you won't feel better until that happend

If you hate him, call him back and make sure he sees or hears and regrets the one that he let go. Boom.

If your ex keeps on contacting you and it makes you feel uncomfortable or doesn't do you any good (i.e. in terms of moving on, for example,) then you can be honest with him and tell him that you don't want to talk anymore and would want to have some time alone. Just make sure that you don't sound rude, but be honest with him as well. Tell him why you don't want him to contact you anymore. After that, you can wait for his response. If he still contacts you, and if you are really bothered by it, then maybe you can block him.

That depends on what you want. Do you want to stay in touch and try keeping a friendship? Or do you want her to stop? You can everytime communicate to other people what your wishes upon such topics are!

Ask them to stop politely. Usually we tend to give a reaction but if we surprise them with calm and polite manner then they'll be overwhelmed to a point they don't know how to react

I would ask him politely ask him to stop. If he does not, then I would try blocking his calls and text messages.

Tell him/her how U feel on the subject hope he/she stops and comes to realise what it's doing to you

That depends on whether you want the contact. If you don't, politely ask him/her to stop. If they won't, change your cell/mobile number/home number and ignore contact with them. Block them on Facebook. If they are a danger to you, call the police - don't think they will just "go away" - some people can become aggressive and if you're dealing with that type of person, it's best to seek professional help (ie. the police).

If blocking fails,and he still tries to contact you.Then save all his messages,calls and text and file a police report.Inform close friends and your work that you want no contact with this individual.

well if you want them to contact them then ok but if not tell them how you feel about them contacting you but do it in a polite manner

I'd start off by asking him/her to stop and if that doesn't work I'd block the number and if he/she found a way to contact you again I would warn him/her that you are going to report him/her harassment and if he/she does it again report him for harassment

I recommend you speak to them and explain that they're bothering you or maybe block their account or phone number

Simple solution. Block their number and just ignore them. Simple. Just don't talk to them and if it gets to harassment then tell someone

You should ask him to stop or block him or her. You don't need to have him or her intruding ........

You should reply him in a mature manner. Although, if you're not comfortable with it, you could bring it up to him, and told him that you may need some space at the moment. Avoiding it wouldn't solve the issue, approaching it may :)

tell him/her you don't want to talk to him and block him if he keeps bothering, you can also call police and ask for a restraining order

If you've asked them to stop and they wont maybe try and block them on whatever platform they are contacting you on. On the other hand, you could try talking to them, asking why they keep contacting you.

Its okay to stay in contact with your ex its even fine when you are friends its okay. But if you don't like to be in contact with your ex maybe you should consider telling them about it.
