Pestering Ex
Dear Dyke Whisperer, My ex won’t leave me alone! She calls and texts me constantly. And, she’s the one who broke up with me! How do I politely tell her that I don’t want to communicate with her?

Dear Harassed,
Tell her directly and pleasantly — in answering one of the many calls — that you no longer have anything to discuss with her and then hang up. Block her number.
If she calls you from other phones, you might have to get a new phone number. Yes, it’s a bit of a hassle because you have to let all your friends know, but she will stop contacting you — unless, of course, a mutual friend/acquaintance provides her with your new number.
