Is it best to block and remain in no contact with a narc ex?

Anonymous

My ex and I have spoken on and off several times. Usually stop talking after a big fight and silence for months. I know I should have just moved on but he was my first serious relationship and I was trauma bonded to him so it took a long time to undo that.

He reached out to me a few months ago wanting to “talk”, we spoke as friends and both flirted etc with eachother. He said he was single but, I had a gut feeling he was living with a girlfriend. Only wanted to hang out on my lunch break and when I said I couldn’t he would get angry about it. Never saw him in the evenings and never on the weekends. He would also barely talk in the evenings. Then I saw a post yesterday where he said “we are looking for someone to fix a cupboard in our bedroom”. I confronted him, and his excuse was “he had a flat mate”. He then blamed me as usual and then said to leave him alone and blocked me on Snapchat. So I’ve blocked him on everything, I’m truly done. Is no contact and silence the best way thing to do?
