52 Things to Do Instead of Texting Your Ex

By Millie O'Neill

Having the urge to text your ex is normal. Acting on it is optional.

We’ve all been there – hovering over the send button, weighing up whether it’s a good idea (spoiler: it’s not). 52 Things to Do Instead of Texting Your Ex is your secret weapon when it comes to mastering your impulses. Discover distractions that actually work, from 5-minute fixes to full-day plans. Unpack why you want to text them in the first place (and why it’s a bad idea). Practise confidence-boosting mantras to give you the strength to resist. And find advice on how to navigate moments of weakness – and what to do if you do give in.

Whether you’re freshly dumped, mildly curious, or just bored on a Sunday night, this book is the key to keeping your phone in airplane mode and your dignity intact.
