\"texting-crossing-street-400x400\"<\/a>Maybe you need to ask your ex something. Maybe she still has your stuff. Maybe his dad is ill and you want to check in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Before you text an ex, try to honour a month-long \u201cno contact rule\u201d first. When you do send that first text, accept that you may not get a response or at least not the response you want.<\/p>\n

Ten things to never text to your ex:<\/p>\n

\u2022 One-word texts. Don\u2019t just text \u201cHey\u201d<\/p>\n

or \u201cYo.\u201d: If you have something to say or ask, do so in your initial text. Get right to the point. Don\u2019t put your ex in an awkward spot of trying to interpret why you\u2019re contacting him\/her.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Terms of endearment or flirty emoticons.: You\u2019re no longer a couple. Avoid using pet names or cute phrases that should be reserved for a relationship. You cannot keep the cute stuff post-breakup.<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u00a0Resentful rants.: If you\u2019re upset, tell a friend. Do not text hurtful things just because you\u2019re tired\/lonely\/drunk and it\u2019s easy to do so. Take the high road into singleness.<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you text me back?\u201d \u201cDid you get my message?\u201d: Send one text. If he\/she doesn\u2019t respond, accept that contact is likely not welcome yet.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Relationship talk:. Don\u2019t debrief or reminisce over text. Beyond an initial post-breakup debriefing, which should be done in person, all relationship lessons should be shared with friends and your journal, not the person who broke your heart.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Booty-call requests.: Never, ever a good idea.<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u201cThinking of you.\u201d: This isn\u2019t helpful. It\u2019s predictable that recent exes will still be thinking of each other. But once you\u2019re no longer in a relationship, your ex should no longer be privy to your thought life.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sexy pics.: See: booty-call requests. Move on.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Desperate apologies and pleading.: Do not try to win back your ex by begging over text.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A second text, and then a third.: \u00a0Once you\u2019ve accomplished what you needed to do \u2013 he agreed to you can pick your stuff \u00a0on Thursday, for example \u2013 quit while you\u2019re ahead. Be okay with being the one to end the text conversation.<\/p>\n

When in doubt, don\u2019t text your ex. Ever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
