DRAW YOUR LINE
* Spell it out. Don't assume s/he realizes they're texting your relationship into the ground. Talk it out and be crystal clear about what specifically needs to change (in other words, don't just say, 'Quit texting me all the time!'). Texting to make plans or if you haven't seen each other all day? Fine. Texting every five minutes to see where you are and who you are with? Not okay.
* Follow through. Let the person know you're out if things don't change, and mean it.
* Be proactive. If things get nasty, you're being constant messaged anonymously, or are receiving threatening messages, save or make a record of everything, so you have documentation when you report it. Cause you're gonna report it...right?
* Take a break. If you are messaging someone all the time, stop and think about why you can't leave them alone or trust them. Have a real conversation and try to reach an understanding.
* Be a friend. If your friend is receiving multiple unwanted/controlling messages a day, help them recognize the problem by talking it over.
* Call the shots. Your phone company can likely tell you how to block up to 10 unwanted numbers from calling or texting you. See the chart below to find out how:
