How do I stop myself from texting him?

This is a very broad question... but here's some perspective from my point of view. I was in a relationship for about two years, and I thought that my significant other at them time was the one I would spend the rest of my life with. I was naive and clueless because now when I look back and reflect upon this relationship I had... I've come to terms with the fact that it was very toxic. He just wanted to keep me there as his 'trophy' and my ex used me. I lost my independence and self respect. because of this. I had no voice, and I lost a lot of friends because I couldn't explain why I couldn't go out and be free. He was my only friend during this time so I depended on him a lot. Basically, this is a really broad topic, so I'd say in order to cut off contact, keep your chin up and respect yourself enough and have enough self-control to get out of that relationship. And even afterwards, have the strength to refuse his advances and keep reminding yourself that the relationship ended for a reason, and it was probably better that way... so, chin up lovely~ be strong!

Ask yourself: Is he really worth it? If yes, ask yourself why you think so. If you can't find 5 reasons why, tell yourself you deserve better.

The first thing that you have to remember is that the relationship you had is over and if he wanted to be with you, he would have already texted you back. The first thing, which you should do is the obvious one..delete that person from your contact list.Remove him from all social media.There is much in this world than relationships and being in a relationship with somebody.Take this time to improve yourself, take this as an oppurtunity to grow your talents. Work on that hobby you've been putting up for years. Go and hang out with your friends. Read books, write books. You dont know the power you have!! :D

Block his number - it's only for your own good! Letting go is the best thing you can do. Becoming independent is the best thing to do for yourself - you do not need a guy. All you need is yourself :)

Remember the reason you stopped texting him in the first place. The situation was most likely a toxic relationship that was not positively affecting you. I don't recommend you rekindle that particular flame.

It is not very easy letting go of things. It is difficult especially when without your recognizing it, texting him had become a habit. There are two reasons to stop texting, one because you get abusive replies, two because you are never replied to and ignored. Either way it is you who lose your peace. So, think about it every time you try texting him. Some people are not worthy enough to lose your cool over, so just ignore them, stop sending texts, and it will definitely boost up your self-esteem.

Its hard, but if want to break from a relationship, you have to focus on yourself. You've seen your happiness for so long as intrinsically linked with him, and so refocusing your sense of value to yourself has to be your priority. Isolate some memories that don't involve him- and consider deleting your message history.

Honestly, you need to delete his number from your phone. And if you already have his number memorized, tell someone to hide your phone from you. I'm not even kidding.

I think you have to be your own motivation. I'm sure you want to text him. Saying all things you want or even have a normal chat. But focus. You doesn't make you feel good, does he? At the end of the day, it's your life. Don't text him. Don't make it worst. Let him go. Sometimes, it's the only option for us to be okay.

Focus your energy on something else. Realize that texting him will give you momentary relief but can cause you hurt later. Keep your future self in mind.
