It should go without saying, but once you get a new significant other, you need to leave your ex alone. There should be no phone calls, no text messages, and no trying to randomly run into them. Because let's be honest, that would just be pathetic. When a relationship ends, you need to cut the strings, let them loose, and mean it. You can't let them back into your life.

As someone who has that one annoying ex who won't leave them alone, I can tell you that it's not cute. It doesn't make me want you back, and it certainly doesn't make me miss you. Let me just say I got all of the texts. Watching your words go from loving to angry, and then apologetic, was just dizzying. I had already moved on. I found my happiness and you felt like a weight that was tied to my ankle. I got all of your voicemails where you would ask again and again if I wanted to get lunch, and the ones where you kept saying that everything was in the past and that we could be friends.

Let me just say that it's never going to happen. I know that you're with someone else, and yet you never seem to leave me alone. You need to move on. You need to leave me alone.

Take the time to focus on your own happiness with someone else instead of pouring your time and energy into trying to get me to reply. Trust me, I am over pouring my effort into you. I moved on and I let you go. Since we broke up, you haven't heard from me and let's be honest, it's because that is the way it's supposed to be.

I moved on. I got over it. I got myself a new boo and I left you alone. I deleted the photos, I gave back your things, and I put you out of my mind. I let it be.

Now please, do the same and leave me be. Let me live my life.

If you're someone who keeps trying to get in contact with your ex, to no reply, then you need to read the message of this article and leave them alone.

It's not them, it's you.
