Changing number to properly move on drastic or good idea

[Mellisax1]

Have struggled with my break up for months my friend suggested I should change my number for a fresh start and he can’t come back in my life when it suits him he plays mind games and cuts me off for months when he decides even after all his terrible behaviour

I don't see why not. But isn't it possible and definitely easier to just block his number on your phone and any social media platforms?

Yeah I have but he’s reached out from private numbers before a want a clean break it’s just going to be so hard to do

If that is what it takes to move on then absolutely do it.

Change your number, your friend is right. People always say 'block and delete' but as you say that is not always final as so long as they have your number they can still contact you. And it is almost worse as it catches you off guard.

I just don’t want him appearing at Christmas time because he was very close to my kids I think he would possibly reach out and then I’m ten steps back again think it’s best I do change the number constant anxiety that he might decide to reply to my last text from ages ago can’t keep going on like this

It's not drastic at all. Do it!

Sounds to me like the best idea. A clean slate and all that.

Make a list of everyone who will need to know your new number and do it.

Thankyou for your reply’s am changing it today

I hadn't thought of this. Good point. I'm glad you're changing it.

Good for you , it does help .

If you are serious about moving on and he won’t leave you alone then yes do it by all means.

Maybe create a new email address as well if he has your current one so you can’t get sucked back in by him.

Another plus to doing the above is no spam emails or telesales calling you 👌
