Why would you do this?

[Anonymous]

Girls, why would you block someone on social media (even though neither of you ever post on it, only really used it for messaging people) but you don’t block his number?

why would you tell them you still love them during your last talk after the breakup?

why would you not give his stuff back, like his sweater or other sentimental things he bought you that had a connected meaning for the two of you?

Also, why would you not remove his friends from social media as well if you’re done with him?

If the “door is closed” then why would any of these things be necessary

To answer the first question, possibly she has blocked you, but you can’t always tell from your end. Texts and calls may still appear to be going through, but she’s not receiving them? Not sure. As for telling you she still loves you, that doesn’t mean anything really. You can still love someone and want to break up with them. There’s a big difference between loving someone vs being IN love with someone. And not giving things back isn’t weird. They were gifts afterall, why would she give them back? Just because you bought them for her, doesn’t always mean that they hold any sentimental value in that sense. And with not removing your friends from social media, maybe she doesn’t remember that they’re on her friends list, or maybe she just hasn’t gotten around to doing it yet.


None of it is “necessary”, but I think you’re looking too deeply into things and trying to make sense of it when perhaps there is no sense to it. Move on and worry about yourself rather than her.

She specifically told me she didn’t block my number, that’s the only reason I know. I haven’t tried to contact her after the talk we had a couple days after the breakup.

I understand the gifts not being returned but my clothes?

Ah I see, that’s strange then that she let you know that she didn’t block your number. I’m not sure what that could mean.

As for the clothes, maybe she likes them? After me & my first boyfriend broke up, I kept some of his shirts because they were really comfortable and I liked the prints on them.
