Don't Text Your Ex

You know you shouldn't. You're going to anyway. This book is here to stop you.

Don't Text Your Ex is an emergency manual for anyone who has ever found themselves staring at a contact name at 11 PM, composing a message they will absolutely regret by morning. It is funny. It is honest. And it knows exactly what you are about to do.

Written with dry wit and zero judgment, behavioral coach and writer Declan Reid breaks down every flavor of the post-breakup text - the "I just miss you," the revenge text, the 3 AM confession, the drunk dial, the "I've changed" pitch - and explains, with uncomfortable precision, exactly why you want to send it and exactly why you shouldn't.

Inside, you'll find:

• The six lies you tell yourself before hitting send - and how to recognize them in real time
• A section for her, a section for him, and a section for everyone navigating the complicated middle ground
• What "closure" actually is (hint: not a text message)
• Practical alternatives for every version of the urge - including the 3 AM one
• What being "over it" actually looks like, and why it's quieter than you think
• Why the phone stays in your pocket - and what happens when it finally does

This is not a self-help book in the traditional sense. There is no journaling. There are no affirmations. There is just the truth about what you are doing and why, delivered with enough humor to make it bearable.

Put the phone down. Read this instead.
