    Cut off all contact. That's it. Don't give them any reason to feed into their obsessions. Cut them off on social media and block their number. Don't hesitate to take out a restraining order if you feel even moderately unsafe.

    If the relationship wasn't healthy and the two of you were in a cycle of toxic behavior, your friends may be looking out for your best interests. If it wasn't a healthy relationship, you should listen to your friends.

    Tell your friends and family what you're going to do before you do it. If anything escalates (and toxic exes often do act out), they'll be able to have your back and watch out for you.

    What if they are your best friend who keeps stealing your phrases and you’ve just had enough?
    Community Answer
    Tell them you don't like that they do that and ask them to stop. If they don't, then let them know the friendship is on thin ice.
  • Question
    Is ignoring a sign of love?

    Community Answer
    While it's totally normal to argue or get frustrated with someone you love and ignore them for a time, ignoring someone for a long period of time may not be healthy. If you really love someone, you'll want to try to resolve your issues with them. However, you may need to ignore someone after a breakup or a toxic relationship, and in that case, it may be right decision. But again, it's not a sign of a healthy relationship if you feel the need to ignore someone that you love. It can also be a little immature and mean to play with someone's feelings by ignoring them.

    How can I control my feelings for someone I love?

    Community Answer
    It's always tough controlling your emotions for someone that you loved, especially after a tough breakup or a toxic relationship. But, there are a few things you can do to try to distance yourself physically and emotionally, which can help you control your feelings. Avoid things and places that remind you of them so you don't get emotional, and try your best not to communicate with them. Try to ignore them as much as you can, and in time, you'll have more control over your feelings and emotions. Spend more time doing things by yourself and doing things that you enjoy doing. You deserve to be happy!

    What to do when he ignores me?

    It really depends on the situation, but sometimes, if you give him some space, he may feel better and start talking to you again. If that's the case, try your best not to force him to talk to you. However, if he regularly plays with your emotions and ignores you, your relationship may not be healthy. Nobody deserves to be mistreated, and if you feel like he isn't being fair, you should tell him. If he still won't talk to you or try to work things out, you may want to think about moving on. But try not to overthink things. If he's being quiet, he may just be stressed out or tired.
