      Dear ladies, please can anybody give me any advice on the best way of getting rid of someone and making less his involvement in my life. I met someone on holiday, I dont intend to see him again. He keeps sending me messages on Wattsap, part of me likes receiving the messages and chatting with him this way sometimes. But I wanted to purge all men from my life for a while. I have tried to tell him that i’m busy and can’t message much he is quite insistent. I would like to have him maybe just as a friend but not this, every day messaging sort of thing and him getting possessive if I don’t contact him. I think as part of me is that I’m too ‘nice’ and don’t want to offend, so would find it quite hard just to block him. Thanking you in advance. XXXXX

      The only way to get rid of him is telling him the truth.
      I would be straightforward in my approach and present him the facts. It is up to him then to accept a normal friendship with occasional texts or to give up entirely.
      Btw, his behaviour is very suspicious of another abuser.

      Thank you for your response. I decided shortly after posting this that I had to take the bull by the horns and just block him from contacting me. I have decided recently that I need to purge all male involvement from my life however small. This particular person was really just a holiday fling, we both knew the score. But he has been bombarding me since and getting quite angry when I don’t reply quickly. You are right, abusive red flags. I’m not very good at letting go sometimes but I have done it now. Many thanks. X

      Thanks Confused, its not easy for me sometimes to let go but I have now so that the best thing. I’m now 100% without any man in my life in any way, shape for form, the first time in thirty years. The next few months are likely to be a bit of a challenge. I hope that you are ok. XXXXX
