You broke up. He didn’t want to. Now he won’t stop calling, texting, or showing up places you didn’t tell him about. Cool.
Most ex-boyfriends eventually get the hint. Some don’t. Here’s how to make yourself unreachable when "I’m not interested" stops working.
1. Change Your Phone Number And Email
Cut off the easy ways he can contact you. New cell number, new email address. If he’s got your landline, change that too.
Call your phone company today. The number swap takes five minutes. Setting up a new email is free and even faster.
Don’t announce it. Don’t post it. Give the new contact info to people you trust and move on.
2. Fill Your Schedule
Stay busy. Not fake busy, actually busy. Pick up extra shifts, say yes to plans you’d normally skip, commit to hobbies that eat up evenings and weekends.
The more unavailable you are, the less opportunity he has to corner you or wear you down. Most guys tire of chasing someone who’s genuinely never around. Some won’t.
3. File A Restraining Order
Last option, but it’s there if you need it.
If he’s still showing up at your door or tracking down where you’ll be, tell him directly that you’ll file a restraining order if he contacts you again. That warning alone usually ends it.
If it doesn’t, follow through. Document everything (texts, voicemails, the times he showed up), go to the courthouse, file the paperwork. Restraining orders exist for exactly this situation.
