writes:How can i ignore an ex boyfriend!!!We only dated for a few months, but i cant get him out of my head. I found out he was cheating on me and he was texting alot of other girls too, so i dumped him. But he keeps contacting me all the time for 'one thing' basically, and i keep going back. And now ive found out hes seeing and moved back in with his ex and child but he still seems to text me and wants to see me. And i always look forward to his texts too! Plus he works with me too which makes it more difficult. I want to stay away from him for good but i always give in. What should i do??

You can do better - there is s nice honest guy for you out there but you won't meet him whilst entertaining this jerk! Be strong and ask him not to contact you again...delete his number and ignore! you deserve to be treated better - life is too short :-)

 Have you tried ignoring his texts?
This isn't all that difficult, if you really want to end things.
Just don't respond to him. Sign up a friend as a text buddy and text her/him instead.
Here is a radical idea.
Hand over your phone to a good friend. She will read his texts and handle the interaction between you two. It's very easy.
If you always give in and always look forward to his texts and always keep going back and can't get him out of your head then maybe it's time to go find a good counselor to deal with your inability to say 'no' and to stick to your principles.
Block him, don't respond, if you are struggling with basic things like setting boundaries then it's time to address that in a real and compelling way.
A healthy ego would have told this guy to f**k off a long time ago. So, why are you tolerating this treatment, and why are you failing to find help for that?
Hand over that phone to a good friend who will deal with him appropriately and she will tell him to take that long walk off a short pier. It's easy peasy.

Block his number, tell him you don't want to date (or whatever) anymore, then literally ignore him.

 Can you switch jobs? Or departments? You need to get away from this guy. he's not good. He's a chronic cheater, liar, and manipulator. Cut him out of your life and be done. Oh, and tell his gf what's going on. I'm sure she would love to know.
If you can switch jobs, I would start with that.

 The fact that he cheated with you to begin with just shows that he isnt worth coming back for. Move on, He has a child and a someone he already lives with. The guy may also be talking to more then just you. You've been fooled by him once, dont let him have control over you and your emotions. The best thing you can do is not reply, Move on. He honestly isn't worth it. Good Luck.
