<human>: What is the best way to get my ex-boyfriend to stop contacting me?
<bot>: The first step in getting your ex-boyfriend to stop contacting you is to talk to him directly and tell him that you don’t want to be contacted. Explain that you feel hurt and confused by his behavior, and ask him to respect your boundaries. If he continues to contact you, then it may be time to reach out for help from a professional counselor or mediator who can assist with communication between the two of you.
