Advice-Need to end Cell Contract
Find a Conversation

Hi-
I have been broken up w/ex for 3 months. We shared a cell contract in my name, which was to end the month following the break up. So I had agreed to allow him to keep his number, and he agreed to pay the bills. Well I was very poor at NC. But I kept telling him to go to the Sprint store and have a 3 way conversation w/me, so he could have his own line and keep his phone #. During this time, he would not call me. He NEEDED NC. When I finally was able to go NC on my end, I decided the cell contract will end when I can make contact, and not get upset. But I do not know when that will be.
So, should I just get it over with? I have hid the cell bill, as the first one following our break up upset me so much. I refuse to look at this one, why hurt myself, the calls already occured. But how long can I keep this up. I am still very hurt by him, and angry. I guess I could end the contract in February as he agreed to pay for December and January. I will pay the February bill. I still think I need NC, and contacting him about this phone will upset me. It is not a control issue, as I am not even opening the bills, or looking at them on line. At first I do think it was a control issue, but now it is not. I just need to have nothing to do w/him, and just thinking about calling him about the phone, or emailing and having the 3 way conversation, makes my stomach hurt and increases my anxiety.
Any ideas? The best for me would be wait until the end of February.
Thanks.

Having this cell phone contract almost equates with having contact, because it is not allowing you closure.
My suggestion would be to send him a certified letter (so you know he received it) indicating you will be ending the cell phone contract as of such-and-such date, and if he would like to retain his number, you suggest he take the necessary steps to do so before the contract expires.
Short and simple, done and over with and its no longer hanging over your head. And I would not wait until Feb, I would end it with 2 weeks notice to him.

Indefinitely?
Thanks Carrie-
I am so angry w/ myself. I called Sprint this after noon and told them what I wanted to do, get my own plan, and allow him to keep his number on his plan, or transfer it to another company. So the cell Representative, tells me to hold on, and she would call him, and create his new contract, then we would change mine. The phone went dead. I waited about 5 minutes, then called him to see if he was on the phone w/ Sprint. He was not. Then we got into a conversation, which went bad for me, made me upset, and then just said I have to go and am too stressed to do anything. BTW, he said he will pay the bill until I am ready to end it. I told him to be pro active and call Sprint himself to become qualified (which he will be).
I am so upset w/ myself as it was almost a month of NC. He has not changed, and I feel like such a loser.
WHy do I do this to myself?
