FAQs
Should I explain my reasons?
Only if you want to. You are not required to justify no contact.
What if they keep messaging anyway?
Use mute, block, or reporting tools and document repeated harassment.
Is one warning enough?
Usually yes. Repeated warnings can invite more boundary testing.
Can I use this message in a phone call instead of text?
Yes. Keep the same core point and shorten it to one or two clear sentences for spoken delivery.
When should I switch to a firmer tone?
Use firm tone after your boundary has been stated clearly and is still ignored. Repeat once, then follow through.
