A Good Excuse Is Hard to Do: Isn't It?

My ex keeps on sending messages on FB last night. I do not want to offend in all directions, so I just informed her that still teaching online. Luckily, she stopped nagging me and it was a good excuse for me, right? I am not sure how do you exit yourself to someone whom you are trying to ignore or get away from. Do you find it not easy to give a good excuse? Image Credit: i.pinimg.com

I am quite straightforward, polite and firm. So if I don't want to talk or entertain someone, I will either put it clearly and politely or just ignore it. I know it's tough but I have learnt it now. I don't want to make excuses.

@arunima25 It is tested and proven to be effective for insensitive people.

I agree. I do not want to keep on having excuses. It is best to ignore all her messages. In this way, she will get the message that I am not interested in her anymore.

@Shavkat You are right. Sometimes silence is more powerful and effective.

Yes, she is really persistent. I just keep on brushing off the idea of entertaining her.

@cherigucchi I did not reply to her today. I was just being polite.

If you said you had a girl friend or got married, then perhaps she would stop contacting with you completely

You have a point. Actually, I did not say more about myself. She is the only one telling me about hers.

I just don't reply to them when I'm done talking. They get the message without me having to give an excuse. You know she wants your booty, right?

@DaddyEvil Oh, my. She wants all of me. I started to ignore her messages now. There is no need to have excuses.

@Shavkat That's probably the best thing to do. It discourages without giving room for hurt feelings.

Your "ex" is obviously still in love with you and can't get over you not loving her anymore. She can't move on that's why she still sends you messages and nags you like as if she is still your girlfriend.

Do you think so? It seems you are right. It has been years and still, she managed to contact me. I hope it is not because of feeling lonely in Singapore and due to this pandemic.

You must have been very disturbed by it. I'll block or ignore the message if I'm in your position

I think it is best to ignore her private messages. I am sure she will stop and move on to her life.

I agree. It is best to ignore her. Besides, there is no need to be connected with her since she ended the relationship with me for finding a new love for a particular person before. Now, she is single and telling all the stories to me, which I am not interested in at all.

Can you just block her? Or just tell you're uncomfortable. But it's not easy to say such things sometimes. Best to block then. She want to get back together with you?

Well, I would have not tried to find an excuse I would have asked to stop, if not I would have blocked - period!

I agree. It is my fault to respond to her at first. As of today, she did not send any messages.

@LadyDuck I guess I cannot give my friendship to her because of her sent messages.

I think I did the right thing. I do not want to go further with the friendship between me and her. She might think more than that.

On some occasions, I might also react the same way.
