My ex and I broke up two months ago and we agreed that it was best we have no contact because our relationship was very long and very serious so we need space to grow as individuals.
We both agreed that we would keep eachother blocked for at least a year.
However, I ended up unblocking his accounts and number, not long after, even though I was still blocked from his side. I didn't do it for any particular reason, I'm just not one who holds grudges for long and found it brought me some peace and I wanted to give him the opportunity to reach out to me, if ever he needed to.
A few days ago he must of unblocked me on Facebook and Instagram but I did not notice until he randomly liked an old Instagram post and then unliked it. It was then that I searched on Facebook and Instagram and realised he had unblocked me on both.
I messaged through Facebook saying "hey, I noticed you liked and unliked my posts on Instagram and Facebook, no stress ok? I heard you're doing well at the moment, I'm happy for you'".
And he replied "Hey, I wanted to check up on you because I want what's best for you and thanks so much, I hope you're well too, but I need to block you again, I will block your accounts tomorrow and then unblock you in the future, it's the right thing to do, see you".
I didn't reply and a day later he blocked me again.
I honestly, do not know why he would act like that, it's a bit weird.
My heart still loves him and wants to try again but at the same time I feel like I'm so much better without him, so, I'm feeling a bit lost.
Do these actions show that he might feel the same way as me?
Any one have any ideas?

I've been in these kind of "block/unblock" conflicts before with people I used to love/like, and yeah he probably feels the same way - but they are mostly caused by nostalgia trips and a mix of "what if" fantasy. Which usually doesn't reflect the current reality. What very often happens is that when two lovers with a long history that ended on bad note get back together, they start using past events as ammunition in new fights and makes the situation a lot more toxic
Keep each other blocked and just use the experience from your past relationship to help you navigate in future relationships. This temptation you are describing often ends badly.
