I completely understand that feeling, but why do you want to text him? What do you think will happen?

Hide your phone, Delete his number, if you remember his number by heart try forgetting it. If you're trying to refrain from texting him to give him space or to stop doing it as much those options still apply, but give your phone to a friend or someone that you trust to hold for a least a couple of days or you can just simply block his number from your phone. Some phones you can't do that, you would have to talk to whatever service you use such as Straight talk or at&t and connect to a customer service line and they would assist you, by doing that for you. Honestly if you want him back or you like/love him if you give it enough time depending on why the relationship ended in the first place, they will wind up hitting you up.

First, realize there is a reason you want to stop - you wouldn't be asking this question if there wasn't. You are mature enough to ask this question and recognize this isn't the normal texting - there is something about this that makes it wrong. Focus on that reason, whatever it may be. Text another friend; watch a movie; turn off your phone and go out - do whatever it takes to distract yourself, and every time you feel that you want to text him, remind yourself of the list of reasons why it's wrong or makes you feel as if you shouldn't. You can do it!

Sometimes it helps to write out a list of the reasons that you shouldn't be texting him, encouraging yourself, and giving yourself alternatives for texting him. For instance, WHY NOT: 1) I am protecting my emotions. 2) We broke up because... ENCOURAGE: 1) I am strong 2) I am an overcomer... ALTERNATIVES: 1) Call up my best friend on the phone. 2) take a warm bath... Writing out these lists serves as a reminder, gives encouragement, and presents an alternative. Good luck, you can do it!

It's not going to be easy, sometimes you just have to do it and learn from it, but if you really don't want to ask friends and family for help it can be fun they can stop you when your about to text or call him!

As hard as it may be, if you are trying to cut off and and all contact, blocking his number is really helpful because you can't see if he sends you anything. He also won't show up in your contacts.

To not text someone is difficult. Even picking up the phone is enough to start something. What you need to do, is delete him from your contacts, as well as block him. If you really want to stop texting him, you'll have to completely disconnect.

Try not to focus on 'not texting him'. Instead put your energy into positive action and activities: Pursue hobbies, get in touch with friends, go watch a movie, volunteer - make your life better and you'll be drawn to love and light :)

This is a hard one! I would know! I love to stay in constant contact with my boyfriend. Not that I don't trust him but I like to feel connected and reassured that he is thinking of me too. I try to think of all of the things he is probably busy doing! Your boyfriend probably has a job and commitments just like you do. I always find a way to be able to text him during the day but he isn't so lucky. I also try to keep in mind that even though he isn't texting me doesn't mean he doesn't care. Men tend to have a hard time with multitasking and need to focus on one thing at a time and are easily distracted. I'm sorry if i'm generalizing but this is just from my experience. Women can seem to handle more interruptions and therefore don't typically mind lots of texting. Try focusing on your own task at hand and take a step back from your phone. You might be surprised at how productive you can become if you just let go a little and focus on yourself!
