Blocking ex's on facebook?

[Anonymous]

Guys, if you split up with your other half, why would you block them after 6 months of barely no contact? you still have a previous ex on your account. The blocked ex has left you alone so its not harassment. Neither you or your blocked ex put anything personal on there either. Just doesn't make sense to block one ex after so long but still have the first ex despite neither been a bad break up.
If you have a new girlfriend - I can understand unfriending / blocking the ex to help protect their feelings - but that shows that you still have feelings for your ex? If you were that much into your new girlfriend then why would you be concerned about your ex - esp with no contact?
Just really confused. I'm still in love with him. I have left him alone, despite been tempted to contact him. I just don't understand after 6 months why he would block me? I'd understand if it was closer to the date we split up or if someone had cheated but there's been none of it. He literally (out of the blue) ended stating there was no connection - after been a couple for a year and been best friends for 2 years before that. To cut me off completely for no real reason is killing me. I wish he'd had the decency to explain why.
I have gone on dates, going out with friends etc but my heart belongs to him. I know I sound sad but I really can't help it. Part of me thinks that he still has feelings but instead of been man enough to get in touch (likely knowing him) he has blocked me so there's no reminders? I know I sound hopeful / pathetic. Part of me wishes I was stronger and I didn't care :(

I'll be honest, didn't read all of it because I knew where it was going. Bottomline is you need to move on. Who cares what your ex is doing or thinking. If you guys are done, you need some reflection time which you haven't done. If after 6 months you still thirsty for your ex then you never gave yourself a break from him. Just stop, move on and do your own thing. Don't torture yourself with thoughts about why your ex is doing certain things.

I've tried to move on hun. I wish it was that easy. I personally didn't think / want us to be done. It was out of the blue but you can't force anyone. I've had no contact from him / not seen him and I still think of him. I have tried distracting myself too. Thank you for your reply x

Maybe he is trying to get a reaction from you?

[Asker]

maybe but that would suggest he still has feelings for me? also he can't see the reaction as Im blocked :( . Ty for replying x

[mscott38]

Do you think he still has feeling for you, but it is hard for him to show it? Maybe a way to see if you try to make contact with him. Has he wanted you to makeup with him first in the past?

[Asker]

Personally I think he got scared. He is quite stubborn and I think that would stop him making the first move. We dated for a year and he broke up with me and then after a month was asking me back out - saying he missed me etc. But he made that effort. I dunno I think he's clean cutting me out tbh. I messaged him at Christmas ( I text everyone) and he didn't even reply. He isn't the best at texting but Id of thought hed have the decency to reply. Just hurts as we have both been through a lot and trusted each other (at those times) more then anyone else. Maybe im just finding it hard to accept? but it still doesn't explain the blocking after so long. Sorry I sound pathetic :( ty for replying x

Awe, I’m sorry you are going through this. I have been there, and I understand it is frustrating to message someone, even if is something like to say hi and Merry Christmas. You two have been through a lot it sounds like. He may not want to talk anymore, why some people do what they do we will never know.

[Asker]

I know.. Just hurts :( I always thought (and still do to a degree) that wed be in each others lifes to a degree. Just wish I knew what id done:( Thank you x

[mscott38]
