ex and new guys

Hi guys.

Split up with my bf at the beginning of the year (beginning of Jan) and we were still talking etc being friendly. Then i kissed some guy at my best friend's party two weeks ago. My ex wasn't there but found out about it, now is constantly harassing me via email, telling me i was too quick to move on etc and basically slating me. Tried ignoring that, then it was text and phone call harassing.

Now mobile's rarely on, don't check email and whenever i pass him in the street he carries on calling me all sorts of names. I try to avoid him where possibly, but he lives near me and works with me (although on a different department)

Any advice on how to get him to leave me alone?

Tell the people you work with what he is doing, perhaps tell your boss he is harassing you?

Failing that talk to him and ask him what he is trying to achieve...he sounds like a ******.

Just ignore him, he has issues.

My ex is exactly the same. I find ignoring them is a good short term solution.

If he's harassing you that bad,try contacting the police and ask if you can get an injuction on him?

It's the end of a relationship, to be honest you should cut out all contact. It really would be for the best for the both of you.

He's being very immature and most likely still holds a flame for you.

It's been five months and you're free to do whatever you like but perhaps by keeping in contact he thought there might be a chance of a reconsiliation.

Yeah, when a relationship's over it's over. You can't keep talking, it never works.
Completely ignore him.

Cheers guys. Its weird, i started off feeling guilty about kissing this other guy, because i thought perhaps i hadn't waited long enough before moving on. But how long are you generally meant to wait after a relationship ending before moving on?! But now its just getting frustrating, and i (unfortunately) can't avoid him all the time since we have to communicate occasionally at work. arghhh its driving me mad!

Most of you are being harsh. Yes it's immature what he's doing, but understand he still has to get over you - he's not only hurt because of that, but because you have managed to do it sooner than him.

And being hurt can lead to unpredictable consuences - many just sulk alone until they realise more fish in the sea, etc., a lot just get drunk - but they can equally carry the feeling that all is not lost and hence pursue you.

What an arse, in most split ups it won't work remaining friends, but my sister has pulled it off with her ex, so its possible
