How to get your ex to stop calling you

So you've broken up with your boyfriend, and he's turned a little psycho. In fact, he won't stop calling you. He's blowing your phone up so he can ream you out because you kicked his butt to the curb, or he's trying to get you back, or both. Either way, it's annoying and it's abusive. Here's how you get him to stop.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• The desire to hold on to your dignity
• A phone with voice mail
• A notebook and pen to take notes with

1. (Assuming you have made it clear that you don't want your ex to call you) When your ex is calling you DO NOT pick up the phone. I know it's tempting to get into an argument, or to tell him to "fu- off", but really, it's just feeding the fire. When an ex continually harasses you and won't stop calling--- they are essentially STALKING you.
   
   What stalkers want, is to have you acknowledge them, because they want your attention. So, if you pick up the phone, you are acknowledging your psycho ex, and you are thus making the situation worse.
2. Get a new phone and a new phone number. Do not call your ex or anyone you know from this phone number.
3. Keep the number your ex calls you at, active. As long as they can leave messages on your voicemail, they will feel like they are getting through to you. This will 1. Allow you to keep record of this harassment and 2. Prevent them from bothering you at work, or going to your house, etc.
   
   Save these voicemails for two weeks, or whenever your inbox fills up. Make sure you save the call logs.
4. Bring the phone, calls logs, any notes you have from your ex calling you to your local police department and file a police report. Also talk to the police department about filing a restraining order ESPECIALLY if your ex knows where you live. The police will help put a stop your ex from harassing you.

Tips & Warnings

• When an ex continually calls you and harasses you over the phone- this is abusive. You must put a stop to this before it escalates.
• Make sure you file a police report and go to your local court to get a restraining order, you can never tell what abusive people are capable of. Better safe than sorry.
• After you have told your ex "STOP CALLING ME" once, do not speak to them ever again. Otherwise, you are showing them that you will put up with harassing phone calls.
• Your ex will be pissed off you went to the police, so be safe and get a restraining order
• If you don't go to the police about your ex harassing you, you are putting yourself in danger.
