No one ever wishes to encounter a break up because it leaves you completely messed up.
However, the hardest part of it all is that it is quite upsetting when your ex tries to keep the communication with you alive.
It is important to note that you deserve happiness. Here is how to deal with an ex who keeps on communicating with you:
1. Be clear
Be honest that you no longer have an interest in pursuing a relationship with him/her. Avoid giving false hope since this will create space for another attempt. You have to remain firm and avoid any conversation be it in private or in a group.
2. Avoid any form of arguments
If an ex won't let go, it is evident that he/she might not want you to move on and this can make them sabotage your social life and end up disrupting your life. They can also opt for underhand methods just to get your attention. Do not allow their behaviour to influence how you choose to live your life.
3. Set boundaries
You should never feel guilty of walking away from a relationship that wasn't promising. No one is perfect, we all make mistakes. Do not set yourself in a guilt-filled mood, step up and move on.
Respect is vital in case you had children together. Both of you should have a hand in supporting them. Any business not involving the children should not bring you together whatsoever.
