You might also say, “I need some time to process things by myself. I’ll let you know when I’m ready to text again. "
Alternatively, try something like, “It’s too hard for me to keep talking. I’m sorry if this hurts, but please stop texting me. "
You might also try, “I really meant it when I said I wanted to stay in touch, but I think I need some time for myself first. I’d appreciate it if we stopped texting until I feel ready to be friends. "
You can also text, “I’m not sure why you’re texting me like this when you ended our relationship. Could you see this from my perspective and please stop contacting me?”
As an alternative, say, “Our relationship was really special to me, but it’s over now. I think we should stop texting so that we can move on. "
You can also text, “I completely understand the pain that you’re in right now, and I’m sorry. I still think it would be healthiest for us both if we stopped texting. "
Alternatively, try, “Thank you for your apology. Although it really means a lot, I would like for us to stop texting each other going forward. "
You might also say, “I hope you are doing well. I’ve started seeing someone and it’s getting pretty serious. I think it would be best if we stopped texting. "
As another option, try, “I still think the no-contact rule we agreed to was a good idea. Please stop texting me. "
Other ways you can say this include, “Do not text me anymore” or “I have nothing more to say. Please stop reaching out. "
Whether you tell your ex that you plan on blocking their number is up to you. If you want to let them know ahead of time, you might say, “I’ve asked you to stop contacting me many times now. I’m blocking your number to get the space I need. I hope you understand. "
