My NC is over and I’ve just found out that he’s blocked me on FB and FB Messenger but is still one of my Instagram followers. I tried to send him a text message but it rejected. I know he’s having huge money problems so I can accept that maybe he can’t afford to pay for his mobile phone right now. But I don’t know where it leaves me? I didn’t break NC or pester or stalk him at all so he had no reason to block me from FB. Maybe he’s still on my Instagram because he hasn’t realised it or can’t use his phone to break that connection too? When we were still together he sometimes complained that his phone wasn’t working properly but I don’t know if that’s a convenient excuse.

Hi Jasmine,

Why did you break up and are you going to do the nc rule?

This guy who I was seeing said he wanted space and wanted to be left alone because he had an anxiety attack. So I did that for a few days but I saw he was still active on Snapchat so I decided to delete him as a friend because I didn’t want to view his stories. If I saw his stories, I would be tempted to actually see how his life is. This happened yesterday. Then later that day, he texted “Deleted me on snap? Kinda surprised you didn’t block my number as well”. That was at night and I was sleeping when he sent that. Then in the morning the next day he sent “Fair enough, well I wish you the best on your journey”. Then he blocked me right after. I am not sure what to do now. There’s no other way to communicate with him and I’m worried I lost him forever.

Hi, thank you for writing this. I’ve been blocked from calls/texts, which is the only form of communication he and i have. He is not on FB. I am, but my posts are private.
He has a POF profile. I know this because he would check it while with me and liked to show me that women wanted to meet him, but said he never has and isn’t really interested (ego thing?). We were only together 3 mths and our relationship was based solely on sex…and a drug, to which he is an addict. It’s not weed, it’s an upper. I enjoyed doing it with him, but do not do it since he’s stopped coming around. From the get go, i wanted to be serious and he told me he had other priorities, but that it wasn’t out of the question. He does have other priorities because he is homeless and lives, for the most part, out of his truck (which is older, but very well taken care of and nice), hotel rooms and family (not really friends, because he is kind of a loner, like me). He works as a plumber, (which he learned from his grandfather) through temp agencies and is trying to get a place to live for him and his youngest son who is a teen. Pretty much, it’s all he can do to remain close with his sons, keep his job, keep his truck running and support his drug addiction. But i am not judgemental, in fact, i respect his efforts and admire his courage. I am not perfect. I am not at the best place in my life, either, but much better than where I’ve been. I am broken, insecure, obsessive, depressed, I pushed him away, to the point of blocking me. Unlike you, he never told me that I should “move on” and that he for sure wasn’t interested in being serious. I’m not sure if it’s the drugs, but i do think it’s possible that he’s skizofrenik. He would come over, leave with some excuse, say he was coming right back, but never come back. This isn’t why I think he’s skizophrenic, I’m just mentioning it. He wouldn’t call or text or reply to mine. He did this many times, and it hurt me a lot.This isn’t why I think he’s skizophrenic, I’m just mentioning it, and I know I’m jumping all around here, sorry, but thank you if you’ve hung in this long. Anyway, when i asked him if he wanted to be serious, he never gave an outright, no…and if I would assume his not saying yes, meant no, he would say, he wasn’t saying that. He has said many times towards the end that “he can’t do this”. I admit I’m not perfect and when I was hurt I would say things like, leave me alone, don’t ever come back here, you make me sick, even…I hate you. It hurt me to say these things, and they were the opposite of how i felt, but I was angry and didn’t understand why he did some of the things he did, that were very hurtful. I know the drugs (one drug, not a variety) don’t help, but if there’s possibly any advice you can give me, setting the fact that we did them and he does them, aside, i would appreciate it. I’m heartbroken and i care very much for him.

Our relationship had a few fights and was getting a little distant. Then he blocked me because he saw me with my ex who is in the same Uni class as me, three times in one day. He hates my ex. I realised he blocked me so I contacted him on phone, to which he says he blocked me because he saw me with x person. He unblocked me but he hasn’t added me back on apps so I have not added him back either. Should I wait until he does?

Hi! So my husband and I have been arguing more over the last few months since I’ve had my first child and last week we started arguing over our level of communication (we are doing long distance for a couple of months). At the end of the argument, he sent a very rude message and I didn’t respond to it because I was angry. I hadn’t posted anything and hadn’t looked at any of his posts. After a couple of days, I looked at his snapchat and I messaged him that since we had time to cool down, he can call me when he’s ready to talk and he sent a thumbs up, but didn’t call. It has been a few days since then and he hasn’t called. I havent sent any messages to him and have been posting positive things,etc. He has looked at all of my posts, but now he has blocked me from Instagram and snap chat. He kept Facebook but has only contacted me about our child and ended the convo with enjoy your day which threw me off because I didn’t know if he was actually being genuine. I responded thank you, but he logged off as soon as he sent the message. I haven’t said anything to him about blocking me, but I’m also annoyed that he won’t just grow up and communicate. I honestly feel like he doesn’t deserve me, but I want to give our marriage a decent try for our kid. I just want him to be able to not hate me enough for the next month and half so we can go to counseling (he agreed to go way before this fight) when I join him at his location. It’s really hard not to say f*ck off to someone who doesn’t appreciate my worth and doesn’t work as hard as me to become a better communicator/partner. However, he is the father of my child and I’m on my second marriage now so I’m really not trying to be known as the woman that can’t work through her marital problems and be an Elizabeth Taylor with five husband’s (although she’s fabulous) lol. I just know I need better taste in men now and maybe my type isn’t who I need in my life. So if there is a chance, can I get a solid game plan? I bought the handbook and online support so you can reference something if u need to.

Hi Elizabeth,

Try as best as you can not to start a fight with him. Keep being the mature and calm one. For now, let him initiate so he can cool down..

Here’s a unique situation. An ex of mine from 7 years ago and I have periodically popped in and out of one another’s lives. Sometimes physical, sometimes just to check up on each other. A couple years ago communication picked up between us, and it almost seemed as if he was interested in a relationship again until he sent a picture of him and his new boyfriend. We’ve still stayed in contact since, and communication has always been very respectful. I noticed though about a year ago he had blocked me on Facebook with no explanation, I asked him about it and he changed the subject. Even after that we’ve continued to be in contact through snapchat and sometimes text. Just recently the frequency of communication picked up again, when my job actually brought me 20 minutes away from where he lives. He’s been messaging me in response to whatever I share on my snapchat story – not even direct messages to him as I rarely initiate contact out of respect to his relationship. About a month ago he invited me out to join him, his boyfriend, and friends but I declined due to illness. At this point he’s been in a relationship for about 2 years. As a joke a couple weeks back I had taken a picture wearing a friends ring captioned “Should I say yes?” A few hours later in the very early AM I got a message from him that just said “b!tch” I asked him about it the next day and he played it off as being drunk and not remembering. Last weekend I posted a ridiculous message I had gotten on a dating app and captioned it “this is why I don’t use dating apps.” Like clockwork he sent me a message as soon as he saw it and said “eww gross hahaha.” We chatted back and forth a bit before I told him to enjoy his weekend with his boyfriend. Later that night I posted a selfie for the first time in a while (great pic if I say so myself) and I saw he was one of the first to view it as he usually is – yet again my story not a direct message to him. The next morning when I woke up I saw he had unfriended me from snapchat. It’s hard to wrap my head around why. It was the same with Facebook. No explanation, no fight, no reason…so my question is, since he has been primarily the one that’s been messaging me – why would an ex block you 7 years later over a selfie on snapchat? The only thing I can guess is that I’m a temptation for him, or somehow an issue in his current relationship. You would think if that is the case though, based on our history and friendship he’d respect me enough to communicate that instead of unfriending me. I’ve always had a feeling we’d end up together someday if the timing was right, but for now I suppose he’s doing the right thing for his current relationship. Just odd that he’s been the one initiating contact all this time just to disappear.

Hi Jon,

Yeah, you’re probably an issue to his current relationship. Either his bf is the one who asked to block you right then there when he did or he just didn’t see the need to say that you because that’s awkward. Why would you say to a person you’re going to block that you’re going to block him or her right? You don’t.. You just do it.

Hi Amor, thanks for your reply. This would be the second time we have broken up. Do I still even have a chance to get him back after being ghosted like this? He’s blocked me from everything, even when I haven’t spoken to him properly since November 2017.

If you are active in improving yourself and in posting, initiate contact to slowly rebuild rapport but if you’re still blocked, that means you have to move on..

This is the second time my ex and I have broken up, we were together for nearly 9 years. The first time we broke up was for around 1.5 years ago, and we got back together after a year apart. I’ve done no contact etc, the last time I heard from him was Xmas day. I replied with a short message.

This is a tricky situation, as he’s literally just ghosted me, there was never an official break up, we had an argument back in October and that’s the last time I saw him. I gave him space and time to calm down after the argument and he was still angry, so I gave him more time. He never said he wanted to break up, but as time has passed on, I feel like we’ve broken up. He’s recently blocked me from all social media and WhatsApp.

I don’t know what to do. After 9 years, I don’t think it’s right to just be abandoned like this. I’m currently getting therapy because of how he’s made me feel with this uncertainty. I don’t understand. What could I do?

Hi so need your help. Me and my ex bf broke up last October we had a misunderstanding that we could not resolve due to emotions on both sides. So I implemented the NC the day after we broke up. We where in a long distance relationship and had been together for Year pretty serious. So during NC he did reach out and I become busy bettering myself lost weight, graduated been actively posting also he does not any social media accounts we have a mutual friend the same one who was the cause of our breakup so been using him. So after NC I sent him a wee text it was a memory one I did not get any response from him since he was on holiday so I waited patiently till he got back which was in Dec, he read it but did not respond. I left him I did not send a follow message, as I thought he was not interested in me anymore so have been moving on but not so today as I was going through my whatsapp I realised he blocked me a bit shook. Why would you after 4mths

Hi Susan,

if you’re still active in posting there, probably to stop himself from looking or to stop himself from contacting you.

My husband and I broke up the day after Christmas, it’s been over a month now. I wanted to get back together and he didn’t. He would ignore me and I would text him over and call and he wouldn’t answer. Eventually like 2 weeks later he started talking to me. Well he kept talking about getting a divorce and I got so angry I told him I was going to sleep with his best friend. (I know). He blocked me. We didn’t talk for another 2 weeks. I reached out to him on a new Facebook account and he was still mad, he asked me have I slept with anyone since we broke up and I said duh! You blocked me and said you wanted a divorce. So then he blocked that profile. And blocked ALL my friends and family. My number is blocked. And he made an Instagram and blocked me there too. His sister blocked me. He blocks my friends when I message him from their accounts. He hates my guts. I hate to say it but I think our marriage is really over. I don’t think he cares about me anymore 🙁 why am I even on this sight.

Hi Samantha,

why did you broke up?

Jennifer

February 5, 2018 at 9:25 am

Hello,

So my ex and I have been dating for about little over a year. We do a long distance relationship and the distance between us got us anxious and we broke up couple of times. We always managed to work it out within a day or couple days. It was 8 days ago when I broke up with him after a huge fight. I was hurt and I needed time to think. After three days of him begging and thinking on my own, I wanted to go back. That day, he sent me an angry message. Then, I reached out to him and I didn’t hear anything back from him. He absolutely blocked me everywhere (emails, Facebook, WhatsApp, phone, etc) Full block outs. And when I tried to reach out to him via my friends, he blocks them too. It has been six days now that he never said anything to me. What does this mean? Does this mean he is completely done with me because he cannot read any of my messages and seems like he never wants to hear from me again.

Hi Jennifer,

give him a week more.. If you’re still blocked at that point, send a clean slate message on channel that even if you’re blocked, he will still be able to read once he unblocks you or make a new account to send that and then start nc. Do at least 30 days.

My ex broke up with me early dec. I said ok, wished him well and went on my way. Never reached out, about 3 wks later he starts mssging me on fb..i respond warmly. He reaches out 2 or 3 times a week, asks to call..sure. we talk.
so he continues reaching out. We hv good convos, when he reaches out i respond and otherwise i leave him b. After a really good convo on friday, i realize today (tues) he blocked me on fb. Umm. Ok, we’re not friends on fb, nvr were. I dont know if he blocked my #, ive never tried to call since he broke up w me. So basically i dont bother him, ever, and after he’s been reaching out to me blocks me. I’m not going to test other social platforms, I’m cool leaving him alone. But i dont get why he’d block someone that did exactly what he asked. He wanted space to focus on his biz. I left him the heck alone. Seems weird to block someone who’s not contacting you. So how do i know he blocked me then? I still check his page! I’m not made of stone…jesus. but i know what i bring to the table, I’m not gonna beg him to eat at it! Just not sure where i went wrong here. Totally didnt pull a crazy ex. I thought we had some potential smdh. His last mssg was super sweet too. Now it feels like it was actually a forewarning to being thrown into the land of blocked bitches. Kinda feel like i don’t belong

January 22, 2018 at 4:37 pm

My ex and I have been going back and forth between talking and not talking. We go to different schools and he said he would rather focus on his last semester and doesn’t want a relationship. However, he said he can see a future but doesn’t want to ruin things now. He then blocked me on calls/texts and snapchat because he thinks we really shouldn’t talk while at school so that we can try to not ruin things further. He says he can see a future together but thinks we really should take some time apart before we can come back together, and then blocks me. I don’t know whether to believe him or not since I feel like he could just be moving on if we aren’t talking, but I am confused and lost because I really want things to work out, despite all the bad. Please help!
