Hello Hawaiian Girl

First of all, you are not being judgemental in this post. You are referencing a very specific situation.

Secondly, what you need to do is cut him off COMPLETELY. Change your phone number, block him from IMs or if you can't do that uninstall them from your computer.

It might be somewhat of a hassle for others you contact, but if they care for you at all, they will understand.

It's also quite important for you to get out of the house and treat yourself and hang out with friends and family. Don't sulk in front of the computer or by your phone.

The concern I have had with this site over the years is that people who describe their relationships will go back to the bad ones months or even years after a break-up.

It transcends genders and cultures, so do not be surprised if he tries to contact you months or even years later. I can say this from personal experience and from coaching others on dating.

Feel free to come back as often as you like, especially if you draw strength and inspiration from here.
