well - I guess it would depend on your exA
in my case - it doesn't matter HOW many times I have asked mine NOT to call or text me, how many explanations of how unhealthy it is for me, blah, blah, blah, blah -
Whenever my exah comes up with a reason to call or text me - he's going to - regardless - He is just that selfish, self-centered and self-seeking
For me, I'd be better off talking to a Pine Tree in my front yard then to send an explanation for no contact.
He never honor my boundaries before - he's not going to honor them now.
Soooooooo Tufgirl - it goes back to some of our slogans -
doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. . . .
and if you want something different you have to be willing to do something different. . . .
If you have asked him to leave you alone before and it's worked ~ then go for it, if you have and he's ignored it - then my thoughts are why bother?
But as others have said - You have to do what is healthy and right for you - Keeping your garden of self CLEAN!
