Answer 1

Change your phone number. Get caller ID. Get a restraining order.

Answer 2

I know most people would suggest you try and work at your marriage for the sake of your unborn baby but from what I've read I think separating is going to be a better decision for you. This man is completely selfish. Why aren't you able to live with him and his son at the moment? You're married surely that makes good sense, especially since you are pregnant and he needs to be with you supporting you. You guys are married yet he's worried about you moving in 'in case you don't get on'? That sounds like madness to me, if he did not believe you guys could live together and build a future together he should never have married you and made the decision to have a baby with you. He should certainly not be mentioning the way his ex raised her child, especially when he is not allowing you to live with him and when you do visit he ignores you and goes on the computer! You are the pregnant one and he should be doing his bit to look after you, as the father of the child! He wants to 'wait and see'. He can't leave you in limbo like that when you are pregnant. Time is kind of running out and he needs to be a man and support you completely! He sounds incredibly immature and like he is trying to recapture his youth. You could do better than a man like this. Could you move to be near family or friends so you have the kind of support you need when the baby arrives? I feel strongly that you should leave this man. If he is letting you down now he'll only continue to do so in the future.

Answer 3

Block her number; get yourself an unlisted number; use your caller ID to know when she's calling and continue to ignore her; get a restraining order; knock your phone off the hook when you know it's her on the phone and make noises like you're having sex (NOT by yourself lol); if she calls your work, have somebody else answering your line and consistently tell her you are "not available"; tell her you decided to be gay because men were less annoying than her; have some sexy girl put the message on your phone that says something like "Joe is REALLY busy right now. Please don't leave a message because he will be REALLY busy for a VERY long time and won't be able to call you back later"...use your imagination

Answer 4

Call the authorities and get a restraining order. tell them she has been threatening to harm u physically. If she violates a restraining order or as it is called in the states an Order of Protection she gets to have a criminal record and spend a night in jail with some really nice cell buddies.
Don't be a victim of harassment and don't play stupid games, get serious, involve the police, put her in her place, you are doing her a big favour in the long run, she will finally get the message and move on, and so will you.
Best of luck,

Answer 5

Get the privacy manager by AT & T, then let her know that all of your calls are being monitered and if she doesn't stop you will obtain the records from the phone company and file harrasment charges with the police. Sometimes we get a ego boost when this is going on their are alot of things you can do to stop this, it seems like you may be getting a boost from this.

Answer 6

1) Change your number - this is a pain and you should not have to do this
2) Get caller ID so you know when she is calling - she could still call from a different number and you would be stuck.
3) Screen your calls with an answering machine - you would need to tell all your friends that you will not answer until they leave a message and then call them back.
4) Get a restraining order - it will cost you to file and drag her into court over this. She will be told to stop, but there is no guarantee it will work.

Answer 7

I went through the same thing with my ex husband, but we have kids together so it's not like I could just quit answering. Thing is, he would call most of the time when he knew they wouldn't be there, like on my cell while I was at work.
Not answering just made him crazy, and he would call 10 times more. Answering usually led to him saying something nuts, and then us arguing, or me hanging up on him. It was neverending. Finally, I figured out that he was just still trying to have a way to control me, even if it was just emotionally by being able to get a rise out of me....to make me feel SOMETHING, even if it was negative. So I started just answering the phone, Keeping the conversation short, dull, and monotone. I didn't allow him to bait me into any actual conversation-just yes, no, awkward silence, I'm busy, etc, and never even changed the tone of my voice. It took about 2 weeks of doing that, but he lost interest and doesn't do it any more. That was 3 years ago. I still have to let him talk to the kids, but he doesn't even call them often, and only on the house phone, so I just let them answer and leave it at that.

Answer 8

Change your number, get an answering machine and turn off the ringer of your phone and let the machine pick up all calls. Call back the people you want to talk to and delete the calls of the people you don't want to talk to.

Answer 9

She is still in love with you and want you to sill be in her life. Be patient and continue to do as you are doing and she will eventually get over you. She probably is still very torn about the break up.Keep telling her I'am not in love with you anymore I would like for you to stop calling me. Sometimes women need to keep hereing you say hat for a while until it sinks in I don't know why also get your #changed.I have been there.

Answer 10

Do you have any friends that are girls? Have one of them answer the phone like they are slightly out of breathe and when your ex asks if you are there have your friend giggle and say that you are either currently busy or indisposed! That will piss her off especially if it happens more than once- then she will stop calling!
I know it is rude but if she can not take a hint then!!!

Answer 11

Shame on you,remember you loved this woman once.Just because it was easier for you to get over her doesn't mean she got over you.Did you cheat on her ? If you did that's why she keeps calling you.It isn't over for her and probably won't be until she meets someone.Or until she realizes you aren't the man she thought you were.And shame on everyone that answered this question and told you mean things to do . This is for everyone that gave mean answers remember what goes around comes around..May you be treated as bad.
