Draw Boundaries...

Break-up's are messy and they can often be a temptation to maintain some sort of contact with an ex. If he is talking about you behind your back, cut-off contact as much as possible. This serves two purposes. First, it creates a boundary between you two where you are less inclined to share feelings or information that further fuels his trash talk. Second, it guards you emotionally from maintaining an attachment to your ex, helping you to find closure. As you heal and experience the closure process, your ex's words and actions will mean less and less to you.
