In my experience, answer them firmly and assertively by telling them that you have moved on/are trying to move on.

It depends whether or not you keep contacting them back. It depends upon whether or not you secretly enjoy it.
If you honestly want your ex out of your life, block them. Unfriend them. Unfollow them. All that jazz. It's okay to remove someone from your life if all they add is pain and regret.
If you want to stay in contact, whether as friends or as more, be careful. Remember why they are your "ex." Remind yourself what made it worth ending that relationship. Don't let them tie you back into that same trance you started with. Be polite. Be frank.
If you truly think they've changed, and your intuition tell you so, give them another chance. That's all your call. Just be wary of this option. I would not recommend it.

Talk to your family and ask them to support you along with your friends. The route a lot of people have taken in this situation is to get a restraining order but that really depends on you and your situation. If they're contacting you over social media, simply block their accounts. If they're contacting you by phone, block their number using one of the many phone blocking apps out there. If they're contacting you by e-mail, put into your spam folder. When they start coming round to your house, stalking you or pretending that they've just run into you in the street, you could always threaten them with a restraining order but don't say it to them if you're not willing to go through with your threat. It is a difficult situation and I don't know all the details and this step really is a biggy to be left when you have no other options but it's worth it. Some people say there's no point, they don't care about it but the more they break the restraining order, the more trouble they get into and it goes on their record. I'm sure it won't come to that but the information is there if needed. I hope your problem is solved soon if not already.

It can be really tricky when an ex or old friend try to maintain contact, where you know that it isn't healthy for you to speak with them. It can be difficult to know the best way of letting them know that you'd rather they keep their distance.
My best advice would be to make sure they understand what YOU want. Make the boundaries clear. Say to them; " I understand that you want to talk, but I really need to have some space right now"

If you do not wish to be contacted, calmly explain that you don't wish to hear from them under and circumstances and block them from reaching you. If it is still an issue, you may need to set up new accounts online and change your telephone number.

Let them know that you don't wish to hear from them. Make this very clear. If they keep trying to get in touch, consider explaining to them that the relationship is over, really over.Lastly, try to block him/her from your social media profiles, block their number on your cellphone etc.

Start by explaining why things didn't and aren't going to work out. Ask nicely that they leave you alone. If that fails I suggest blocking the number.

He is contacting you because you are letting him. It's up to you what you really want, you have to ask yourself that.

I know how it feels to be ignored by an ex, who I've just broken up with. So knowing the feeling I could empathize. I would smoothen the process of breaking up gradually instead of cutting of contact all of a sudden which is a big blow.
I still love my ex. Should I feel this way?
