The best way is to cut off all contact with that person.
Block them on your phone, email, and social media. Avoid places or events where you will likely bump into them. If you have friends in common, let them know about it so they won’t inadvertently help out your ex to come and see you.
It may take some effort, but the distance can be helpful for them to accept your separation and move on.
