Should I call him

Harp
My SO and I broke up (over text) last week. I haven't called nor texted him since. We work together so I haven't even made eye contact with him either. I'll look when he isn't looking. He clearly stated to me in the text for me to not to call, text, look, or approach him. And I haven't. He believes that I deserve someone better since he has no college degree, no money, and has 5 kids. I miss him terribly but when I think bout calling him, I know I'm just going to be miserable. What do you think ladies? Will he ever call me? What should I do?
