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,

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

Hi Lynn,

when he reaches out again, don’t reply.

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!

Hi there I was blocked yesterday by a guy I’ve been seeing for three months it has been long distance but he drove from Arizona to meet me extended his trip to visit with me longer and I went to stay with him for a week during New Year’s and I really was falling for him and he would tell me to message him anytime I wanted, and he would always respond to me but when I got back from New Year’s, after two months of constant interaction he just seemed a little distant and it felt like I was always playing 20 questions with him and yesterday it really didn’t feel good and I asked him if he was leading me on or if he was seeing other people and he said he was seeing other people and he wanted to be friends and nothing more with me which upset me a lot because if I hadn’t asked him he would’ve just continued responding to me all the time and visited me again while sleeping with other people. So I got very upset and I said he was fake and I didn’t wanna be friends with him I didn’t want to downgrade to a “fake” friendship and that he was gross for sleeping with other people while talking to me every day, and sending me photos etc. saying things that made me feel that he had feelings. Well he never responded to my message I sent that was upset instead he blocked me. I had not read your article yet so I quickly wrote his email address because it appeared he had also blocked my phone number and I said that I felt it was extreme that he blocked me and that I was very upset which is why I reacted in anger and that I never wanted it to go down in this way. I’m not sure he’ll read it but I said it hurt very much that he blocked me. I can’t figure out based on your article of reasons why someone would block, why he did. It feels like a mix. Do you have any insight he would watch my Instagram stories every day usually like every post sometimes respond with Messages or emoji’s to my stories for two months he texted me every day, we talked on the phone, sent me photos of himself. We talked all day Thanksgiving we talked all day Christmas when I spent a week with him over New Year’s I took care of him while he was sick and paid for him while he was in between paychecks, I bought him medicine and food. I’m pretty gutted. I know I said that he was fake and that I didn’t wanna be his friend but I was angry and I didn’t think that would result in blocking me and I couldn’t help myself when I saw that, I had to email him and say that hurt. What reason do you think it is behind him blocking just from your own intuition and do you think he will ever unblock me or do you think it’s the 40% ? Thank you.

Hi K,

I can’t say it from intuition coz I don’t know him but he probably blocked you to avoid arguing and answering your questions.. It was just two months. You don’t know him that well, so, it’s really hard to say why he did that to you. Maybe he also noticed you were investing too much in him and getting too serious too soon while he’s not..

Hi recovery team,
My ex and I have been dating for almost 3 years. We got into a huge argument a few days ago through text about him going away for his birthday day and not telling me. In which he just stopped responding to me. We broke up one time before where he did the same thing there was no break up conversation he just cut off all communication. But today I noticed he blocked me on whatsapp. It’s only been a few days and I figured he would get over the argument I sent two text messages nothing too crazy. One said good morning and when he didn’t respond the other said I guess you don’t want to be bothered with me. I tried to call two times that night which he sent straight to voicemail. That was two days ago. Today I noticed he blocked me on whatsapp. Pretty much I’ve decided I’m going straight into the NC rule for 45 days and use this time to work on my body. I have enrolled in a 28 day work out challenge. His birthday is in a couple of days. Should I reach out to him. Also if he has me blocked and I don’t have him on social media at all how do I talk to him after the 45days of NC. PS I have never really been into social media it has always been a little strange for me so I hardly ever post. I only have one friend that plays basketball with him from time to time. Should I use that friend to talk about me to him?

My ex has recently blocked me. Im not upset or angry. Itso been more of a shock. Starting from the beginning. We met and couple of weeks later I had an operation. This guy was very supportive and came to see me every day and treated me so well during the recovery process. There were no signs of him not being genuine. He initiated everything and he even asked me to go away with him when I got better. He saw me coming out of theatre, being sick and looking terrible and it didn’t fase him. I made sure that he was in control and he could back out if he wanted to. He was always telling me how he’s never met anyone who’s not needy over him and he liked how secure and content I was as a person. However, he would try to make me jealous or insecure on times and I wouldn’t react as I’m not a jealous person. Couple of weeks later, I start to get better, my health is back on track, I’m wearing makeup I start back at work and I finally felt like we could be a normal couple. We had a great few days together, he was planning our future etc. Then all of a sudden he ends it and blocks me. I’m completely shocked as I didn’t see this coming. It’s been a few weeks on and I’m still confused. I’ve been in a 2 year relationship and got over that straight away. However, this time around Im still in shock and a bit of denial. For me, it appears that he liked me being vulnerable, relying on him to make me tea etc and now I’m better and fit he doesn’t want to be with me. Any advice would be great.

Hi Emma,

If that is true, I would move on from him.. Or he blocked you because he doesn’t want you to expect and wants you to continue to move on

Sharon

December 20, 2017 at 6:58 am

My situation is the other way around. I don’t know if its appropriate to ask the question here. Still would like to know your helpful thought.

My ex blocked my facebook…way before we broke up, actually during our dating process!! I think he didn’t want me to know about his past too much. I never asked to add his facebook due to respect his privacy, and also he told me that he’s not active on facebook (which it seems to be true later when I found out). But I never expect that he already blocked me until I randomly discovered his ex’s facebook….

It’s confusing but I’m ok with that. What I’m concerned more is his ex’s facebook. I asked if they’re still in an ongling relationship based on the information I found in her facebook.
Anyhow, few days later his ex blocked my facebook. And of course, he won’t unblock my facebook. But I think he hasn’t blocked me on any other chatting platform which means I can still reach out to him.

Now I’m struggling whether I should contact him after NC ends, because that his ex blocked me indicates they’re still in contact and that he is possibly upset with me. What should I do?

Hi Sharon,

You’re more concerned that he’s upset with you rather than him being secretive?
