Just reminding myself the reason they became ex. The pain that I felt, I see if that person is alright not talking to me.

Its best to block off any ties that could give you access to contact your ex. I blocked my ex on Facebook and deleted the number and the messages so I couldn't talk to him. It took alot of willpower but it helped me so much and eventually I came to a stage where I forgot that I forgot that I blocked him. If you feel that you need further support, maybe rely on a friend to help you avoid temptation?

That's a tricky one. They're your ex for a reason. If you broke up with them, you had a reason to do it. If they broke up with you, you probably got hurt... think back to why you broke up in the first place... that's always a good place to start

Just remember why we broke up in the first place. We always tend to rewind the happy times and convince ourself that we are nothing without them. Try to remember the times when things didnt work out as well. This will stop you from messaging your ex.

Well i personally found it easy to resist the temptation is think why we broke up. If he hurt you, Its best to never run back to what hurt you in the first place.

Remember what they did to you and why you are no longer together or try and talk to a good friend instead

Remember why you ended things with them. Contacting them would only make it harder for both of you to move on.

The temptation is very hard, but as a step in your life you must move on. Wether you broke up with them, or they broke up with you, you must always move on. What I do is, go to the gym, play video-games, or listen to music to help deal with the temptation.

Remember why I am not with them in present time. It really depends on why you are no longer together. If it was your fault forgive yourself & if it was their fault move on & don't open yourself up again to be hurt.
