Losing the will...

Separated 6 months now but ex is relentlessly trying to change my mind. I told him countless times I don't love him anymore he says he will fight for his marriage and will not give up and says everyone is telling him he should fight for it. I don't know what he meant by this as I can't tell him anymore that it over and I'm not changing my mind. He has lied continuously during marriage about everything, I won't go into the ends and outs but i have zero respect for him and all this relentless 'fighting' for his marriage is unbearable!! How do I get it through to him it's over!

Grey rock. Change the locks if he has a key. Block on all media. Issue divorce papers. Then he'll get that you're serious.

Unless you have dc just ignore his efforts of contact.

Block and ignore. And if he starts showing up tell him you will (and do) contact the police.
Tell your friends / family what's happening and if you feel scared have them come over and stay with you of an evening.

Have 2 young children so impossible not to have contact. Every time he sees them he uses it as an opportunity to beg me to take him back. It makes me feel awful saying to him constantly that I don't love him and don't want to be with him. It proves to me even more he does not respect my wishes or how I feel.

Can a third party do the handover for you for a bit?

JuliaJaynes9 · 02/11/2018 11:57

Don't engage
don't use any of his words
re frame the issue in your terms
And as said ...good Old Grey rock🙂

JuliaJaynes9 · 02/11/2018 11:59

Don't keep explaining yourself, tell him we are done and you both need to move on

Yes I'd suggest a third party to do hand over if possible, if not then grey rock is your friend.
