My ex broke up woth me almost 3 weeks ago. He said it’s ultimately up to me if we get back together or not, but I need to get my shit together first regardless.

 We’ve been in contact, and it’s been slowly killing me. He’s thriving from being free of me while I’m dying on the inside. I’m honestly tired of hearing how happy he is with his new friends and how he’s getting hit on and such. I know I need to focus on myself, but I just can’t with these stories and false hopes of him changing his mind.

So, I want to go NC. However, he is experiencing severe compassion fatigue. It’s at the point where I can’t even ask to talk without him getting irritated and cursing at me. Does anyone have advice on how to approach him? How can I ask him to go NC with minimal damage?
