I think you did the right thing. I wish I had the strength to finally cut the cord. I'm just not there yet.
In trying to think of a way to keep him out of my life, I'm trying not to think in such big terms because it overwhelms me too much. Never and Forever are huge things. I would say take it day by day. If you put too much pressure on yourself it will wear you down. He likely knows that.
I'm sure he will contact you again. They always do. Just think of all the chaos and drama instead of all the good times. That is helping me.
