Interesting thread but as a man I would like to interject some points. From my experience men often suffer longer periods of time after a breakup than the women. ( don't jump on my back, hear me out) Often when men breakup with women they intitially feel a sense of freedom for the first two weeks and then start to realizing that they made a mistake, especially when the sex has stopped and that its very difficult for men to get another woman, unless famous, rich, or a musician. Conversely, women often suffer the most during the first two weeks and then start letting go when they start getting other offers for dates and much needed support from other women. A woman can replace a man at the drop of a hat since there is always another ready to jump in, you dont even have to look, they come to you. As for the mens repeated efforts to contact you, almost every man I have ever known after a breakup would be considered a stalker under the current laws. You can just claim that and have the man thrown in jail or get restraining orders, the law is on your side not his. But maybe the man is not as evil as you think and wants to continue a relationship with a person they once cared about whether it be an intimate one or not. Often he would still want to have sex ultimately as he is a man and men are very sexually driven. Women tend to grow a deep hatred for their former mates and seem to deal with things better by having the option of moving on easier. Well, thats just my two cents and hope all works out well for you and take care.
