Block him, on text, on email, unfollow and block on social media, block his number so he can't call you.

Get your coat on and go for a walk for an hour. When you feel like texting him, text a mate instead. Get some stuff in your diary.

Get on with your day, and repeat until you feel better.

In that case yes you have to keep some kind of contact, but not this kind of contact. There's a big difference. You can refuse to engage with anything that isn't child related. He met someone else and moved on. He's not interested in a relationship with you. You are now in the business of coparenting a child, so keep it business like.

You need to decide if you're going to let him keep dragging you around on the end of a rope, or if you've had enough.

When you've had enough, you'll know, and you won't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Just because he says it, doesn't mean you have to believe it, that's your choice.

OP, it’s not been long since your break up really.
It does hurt, and takes a long time to learn to live with a break up when you still have feeling for each other.

Do as @GoldDuster had suggested and keep busy.
Remember why you broke up, sometimes love isn’t enough to stay in a relationship that isn’t working.

When he sends slushy texts again, and he will because these men always come back at some point, shut him down.
Just a polite, “I’m not having that talk with you. Only contact me re our child from now on please” is all you need to say to him.

Stay strong, you are nobody’s puppet.
