How to deal with an irrational ex who keeps trying to argue?

He keeps calling me to tell me how he feels used and keeps arguing with me. He's the one who started the fight that ended the relationship and he's acting really sketchy and it's scaring me. I want to respond to him in a way that calms him down without agreeing to see him again. If I ignore his calls I'm afraid he will come over or something. Any tips? Thanks!How to deal with an irrational ex who keeps trying to argue?
By responding calmly he will get the idea that there is a chance at getting back together. Next time he calls tell him it's over. It's been over and you are moving on.





If he does come over or sounds like he is going to come over just mention ';restraining order'; or ';blocked number';.

When he starts to lose his temper or argue with you, hang up the phone. Don't say anything, just hang up. When he calls back, don't answer the phone until the next day. When you finally accept his call the next day explain to him that if he tries to argue with you that the same thing will happen. You will hang up again and not answer his calls till the next day. He will learn that if he wishes to talk to you, he had better not argue or you will hang up the phone. The only reason he argues with you now, is because you permit it. Bad attention, is better than no attention. If he learns that he will get no attention from you by arguing he will stop doing it.
