Need some ideas on how to handle this...
 
Thanks everyone for sharing all your stories and advice!!! I am having a problem I am hoping to get help/ideas on how to handle! I have gone no contact with narcissistic xab but he has found a "loophole". Words with friends game on my phone!!! He keeps inviting me to play games and sending miss you messages. I cant figure how to block him! I have changed my user name but that doesnt work..I have other ongoing games and dont want to delete the whole ap because I enjoy playing! I know that responding just keeps me sucked into his game...any ideas for me on how to handle this! Thanks and Happy first day of summer!

you get rid of the GAME. it's just a game...on a phone.

My sister's ex used this as a way to get around things too, she never found a way to block him so she just dumped the game for a couple of months until his short attention span forgot all about it after a period of non-response.

I'm sorry, I agree that the healthy move would be to dump the game. He will see you dumped it and give up. In a few months maybe you can start back up. You dumped him, you can dump the game. Be strong!

Thanks...thats what I figured...feels like he wins if I ignore or delete the game so I guess I accept the things I can not change and change the things I can!!!

IMO, he only wins if he succeeds in contacting you. You win if you delete the game and he can't bug you anymore.
