We all have experienced that period after you break up with
your partner and start introducing new things to your life, visit a fashion
hair salon to have a new cut, take up a new hobby, etc. but it turns
out that your ex still follows you. Maybe you are the following one who feels
it ain’t right. It is okay if you are genuinely uninterested in keeping in
touch with your ex. To get on with your current life, you should learn how to
avoid your ex.
1. Phone issues
You should not call or text your ex, as you shouldn’t answer
either. You can use certain services which allow you to block a contact.
Consider changing the name in the address book to “Never answer” or “Don’t even
try”. If phone contacts happen, be brief and polite. Don’t trigger your old
communicating habit with your ex. End the conversation whenever it gets too
far.
2. Boundaries
Both of you might have had mutual friends, contact, and
similar schedules. You should reconsider your schedule to prevent unwanted
encounters. Crossing path may lead to awkward conversations, unwelcome glances,
and seeing him|her flirting with others. Keep in contact with mutual friends,
but you shouldn’t attend hangouts with a group of friends, including your ex,
just because you share friendship. Don’t turn anyone on your side either.
Corrupting the community you are in will affect each participant negatively.
3. Rely on others
If you attend the same educational facility, work together,
etc., you may get into a situation you need to cooperate with your ex. Whoever
is your coordinator/tutor, don’t be afraid to say that you would like to avoid
working with your ex. Awkward situations will affect your efficiency and put
everybody in an embarrassing state; therefore, anyone will understand why you
don’t want it to happen.
Your actions are held to move one, not to restart the
relationship. To miss the edge between avoidance and focusing on your ex.
