Should I unblock my ex? What would you do?

[Anonymous]

Questions i have -
Should I unblock my ex on WhatsApp? Should I wish them a simple happy new year?

When my ex ended things with me he blocked me on Instagram which is fair enough I understand people block others on social media sometimes it can be apart of break up.
We did still talk here and there over the phone until 3 months ago we both had a massive row I felt really hurt by his actions so I blocked him on WhatsApp. Weve not spoken in 3 months since this massive row and his still blocked on my whatsapp. I have noticed on Instagram his unblocked me and changed all his settings so his now got a open profile and I though this is weird. Why do you think his done that to try get my attention or something? Iv been hoping for a apology off of him especially it being the holidays but iv sadly not got one perhaps his not ready to which is fine or perhaps I will never get one. Its Not a apology to to get back together i am after its just in a civil grown up way really.

So I decided to unblock my ex on WhatsApp. I’m thinking I should leave it a few days and see if he reaches out?

Nah; I wouldn't. Don't stay in contact with exes, they are for a reason. If you have a lot of history, like a child then I understand. But don't keep talking just for the cause of talking. It'll make it harder for you to move on and trust me, your new boyfriend/girlfriend will NOT like it one bit. If you need more advice, feel free

[dcinhdguy]

So; what are trying to get out of this? A friendship?

It’s sometimes nice to be civil with someone and have no bad feelings. Instead of blocking & blocking all time.

Unblock him... I am vriends with my exes, except the 2 that blocked me from their life.. A girl that I just blocked me from WhatsApp without the decency to let me even say goodbye has to this day scarred me against just blocking someone

[Asker]

I have unblocked him. His not reached out to me yet? Perhaps I should wait. Would be nice to just be civil with eachother

[RianWolf]

Have you posted a WhatsApp status since having unblocked him? Most likely he would not see that you have unblocked him if that is not the case. I would send him wishes for the new year, but don't expect a reply. Just to break the ice. If he is civil and wants to be civil he will take things further from there.

Not necessarily maybe its for his purposes. If he was interested he would message you.

Why do you care? Only asking because most women never want anything to do with their ex's again and have no desire to ever talk again, but you do, why?

But, unless you are being harassed (which it doesn't sound like you ever were?), there's no reason to block someone. This for some reason has just become "normal" and "acceptable", common behavior and it's mind blowing to me. Totally disrespectful, selfish and immature in my opinion. So anyway, if it were me, I'd be pretty upset that I was blocked in the first place. And to then unblock me and wish me a Happy New Year! What would you think if it was you? lol Also if you do this, it's going to open that door again most likely (for him to communicate), do you want that? You might have to explain your actions etc. So be prepared for that possibly if you do.

Might he have unblocked you to suck you into seeing his posts about what a wonderful relationship he now has?

[Asker]

His not in a relationship 🤣

Do not unblock him. You should never communicate with him again. Move on.

[Twalli]

If he unblocked you he's probably over being broken up.

[Asker]

Just keep someone blocked seems pretty strange to me 🤣

[Twalli]

Yeah, but it takes a conscious action to unblock someone

[Asker]

I’d rather just keep an ex blocked that’s what’s Iv done in past. Seem like mind games what his doing. Weird.

[Hotguyindian]

Yes you should..

[Asker]

His been unblocked
