Whenever I wanted to contact my EX I just found something to keep me busy. I found if I stayed busy I was good. I started cooking some of the most elaborate meals that took hours. But hey it did the trick. I got into retro gaming so that was good. I got myself a motorcycle which the ex hated and I wasn’t allowed to have one in my previous life and that takes a lot of concentration and focus. I started planning trips etc. on really bad days I would try to go places that didn’t have cell service. There’s a hiking trail about 30 mins away that I could go to and spend the afternoon and that did the trick. Are there any hobbies you enjoy that your H didn’t? Maybe some you stopped doing after you got married that you could get back into and there would be no memories to associate with him?
