remove them from your contacts (facebook/whatsapp/..) and ask your friends to distract you, especially if you feel like talking to your ex again.

It is best to cut off any contact for 60 days following the breakup, this gives both sides time to recover and begin moving on, by the end of 60 days you will hardly feel the need to speak to them.

Delete his number, his address, block him everyone and delete your pictures. Realize that's over, and start thinking about your future, instead.

You can block their phone number or on social media. If you are in highschool or college you can completely ignore them.

I know this sounds grotesque . However, you should picture your ex taking a dump in front of you so you feel disgusted by him/her and / or block him You can write him a good bye note. FInd a temporary replacement. The best thing to do is block him/her.

You can tell him/her that you will know break contact. That's a major step. Then you can seek help of friends or family to help you not fall back. If you are still unsure, deleting and blocking are always available options :)

The breakup occurred for a reason. The best thing would be to implement the no contact rule, regardless of the situation. Talking to someone when you or they are in a distressed state would be adding fuel to a flame. Block their socials, delete their number, remove their items from immediate view. Use this time to invest in yourself: read, exercise, be with friends etc. Take time to reflect on yourself and the situation. When you are ready and with clear mind feel free to unblock them, or contact them to reflect on the situation. But the main point is really to not have any contact with them.
