ok the ex is messing with me

I am sorry for unloading this on you guys. I just don't know how to deal with this crap. I am trying so hard...and he keeps coming back with bs. I guess I need some advice...

First of all, you are not 'unloading' on us.

Second - he's probably trying to figure out which buttons to push so don't reward his behavior by jumping when he pushes. Try to take it all in stride and be non-emotional. If he realizes he can't 'get your goat' so to speak maybe he'll give up.

PS... the only 'power' he has is the power you give him.

Hi Flgirl,

You don't have to deal with him, do you? Can you turn off the phone, ignore the messages, delete the emails?

I hope you can find a way to take care of yourself.

flgirl no one could take U'r Power
if U don't allow it & I could say that
with affirmation, & conviction,

I Remember Replying 2 U about this
on U'r similar thread about U'r Ex

Remember my testimony of how I let
My Husband rob me out of my hard working
5 month I had on my Belt.

don't let it happened 2 U, If U Don't answer,
or pick up, he will give up, Trust me
there is a saying in my Country that
It takes 2-2-Tango & when U out Grow
U'r Old Shoes & try 2 put them Back
it will eventually Hurt cause they Don't fit
U any more,

Why do you have to deal with them at all?

It will all be okay.

Once you get to know me better you'll figure out how to deal with me.

I have the same problem dealing with idiots... especially when the idiot I'm dealing with is me! No, seriously, I can understand. My ex is sort of idiotic sometimes too and it's hard to just ignore him when I'd like to get a bit violent with him.

This too shall pass. Don't play his game and maybe he'll take his balls and go home.

You really want to know how to deal with idiots? You don't, that's how. Any qustions?

Idiots are placed on Earth as a reinforcing reason why it should be ok for Humans to eat their young. LOL

Tommy hit the nail on the head!!! Unless you all have kids there is no reason he should even be contacting you.

If there is no reason for him to talk to you get a restraining order and enforce it.

If you talk to him on the phone you are giving him power over you.

If you open an email from him you are giving him power over you.

If you answer the door when you know it is him you are giving him power over you.

This is one thing you do have control over, but only if you take it.
