<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

My ex (M23) broke up with me (F24) back in September.  We were together for 7 years and were each others first everything's.  It has been a real miserable bitch trying to get over him.  The breakup was a bit of a slap in the face to me, sweeping a rug out from under my feet, etc..

Anyway I have been firmly doing no contact.  He started texting me in November to which I asked that he give me space and respect my space.  He complied.. for like a week and a half.  Since November, he texts me at least 1-2x on the weekends.  First they were angry and him trying to guilt me into responding, asking me why I didn't write to make sure HE was doing ok even though he was the one who dumped me.  I ignored it all....

Now with the new year, his texts have turned desperate.  He sent me a poem on Facebook and just wrote me sad, extremely desperate sounding texts saying what a mistake he made, how he needs me..

Should I feel compelled to respond to him? He dumped ME! Now he is sounding so desperate and whining about how I'm ignoring him.. Should I respond and tell him to leave me alone and stop contacting me?  My friend and I both believe that telling him to stop wouldn't work anyway so I don't really feel that compelled to talk to him.

Every time I get a text from him I just get so anxious and depressed.  They often ruin my day and cause me to obsess over all the good and bad of 7 years, and it's making me anxious (like to the point I'm almost afraid of my phone, I hate it) when anyone texts me now because I don't want it to be him.

I'm still extremely hurt.  I don't want him back even though he is the one who dumped me.  What do?
<bot>: He dumped me.  I am no contacting. He is sending me desperate texts. What do I do? Ignore? Tell him off? I just want to be left alone..
