I Don't Want to Talk to Him Anymore For A While

I'm in love with a guy that doesn't really treat me very good sometimes. Today he sent some very hurtful messages and I've decided to stop texting him for a while. I'm not trying to play games or anything but I feel like he needs to know how hurt I am. I know he is going to text me and I will want to respond. I feel like I need to put my foot down but I'm afraid I won't be able to follow through. What can I do to stop myself from texting this guy? I'd love to get some advice and/ or suggestions. I know I need to learn how to have better self control but that seems easier said than done.

PS. Off topic, if I post something like this anonymously, will my comments also come up as anonymous? I feel silly asking but I'm new.

Thanks!
