Regret blocking my only friend

You haven't blocked your only friend. What you describe is not friendship. Have you ever had a real friend? Or just acquaintances? This might be something to reflect on.

As as for all the rude posts telling people they haven't comprehended you- you have literally taken time to write a post asking if it's unreasonable to regret blocking this creep. Then you're acting surprised that people think you're considering unblocking him/meeting up again.

Have to agree with previous posters too, your responses show no empathy, kindness, self-reflection, humour or emotional intelligence. All of these things are helpful when making and keeping meaningful friendships.

What a nasty horrible man. Certainly needs a police report due his behaviour towards you, his wife and the lady in the bar. You lucky to get away .sadly his wife hasn't yet. You made the best decision to block him

I don’t think your grief is preventing you from making friends, unfortunately I think it’s because you’re simply a really horrible person.

You sound quite young and maybe a naïve (I think that’s how you spell it). He is not your friend and he never was your friend. As a rule of thumb, if a man was at some point sexually attracted to you (ie you dated him) he will probably never be truly interested in your friendship without an ulterior motive.

Also side note - I’m 26 with a masters and I have three kids, it’s definitely not way too young but it’s not for everyone I understand. When you said way too young I was picturing a teenager 😂.

I know quite a few people who practice ethical non-monogamy, but not a single one involves one person going out shagging whoever while the other stays home monogamous with a baby.

Have you had therapy OP? Sounds like you have a lot to unpack with the being in love with the dead boyfriend stuff.

Do you not have the emotional intelligence (aka common sense) to realise that it’s not an appropriate way to speak about people?

Why did you stay with him when he was humiliating you by sexually harassing another person in your own words? Why despite all you know you regret blocking a sexual predator and making a post about it. Do you also have a low self esteem?

You are really coming across as a bit of a twat here, threads like this where the OP is just bitter and scathing about everyone and every response are just ugly and pointless.

This thread is batshit, but I think perhaps the most batshit part is saying that 26 - with a masters! - is way too young to have a baby.

Move on from these people.

Perhaps you’re lonely and are finding it hard to connect in your city because you work online and 2 days a week. You have a Masters so it isn’t clear why you aren’t pursuing a career, and building a social life with single people rather than this misogynistic numpty.

And this is why nobody likes you!!

Why are you not using that magnificent brain of yours to work out that your current way of dealing with people is leaving you lonely and bored. And you can carry on as you are, until you wake up one day, your family have all either passed away or moved on, and you realise that you could die in your armchair and not a soul would notice until you started to smell. Or, you could stop being such an arrogant twat and start being nicer to people. Make some friends. Go to the theatre or restaurants with them. Start pulling your weight as a friend, rather than expecting to be entertained.

Then what's the thread for? If you've no intention of seeing this man again, what are you after? Because if it's friends, you might want to look at how you come across, as other posters have said.

I do hope this is a wind up, because if not, I've read few things as sad as thinking this foul man to be your only friend.

He was never your friend. Sounds like an absolute pos narcissist/sociopath and you well rid of this scumbag.

I would suggest trying a few platonic meetup groups to make friends or join a gym/take classes in something that interests you.

Feel like I should be reading this in a take a break mag

And who are you in love with!? Where did that come from?

If you only work 2 days a week and that’s on the weekend… why can’t you meet people during the week? This whole thread is weird AF

You sound desperate tbh! Why are you even entertaining this?

blocking him is smart and you should not unblock. But I think you need therapy. Assuming your dead boyfriend
was lovely it sounds like avoiding dating anyone who reminds you of him is a huge mistake.

What do you want out of this post?

You've said you regret blocking him.
Then you said you don't regret it.
Then you have laid into his wife and been really unpleasant about her when by your own admission you don't even know her.

You originally seemed really upset but now seem to be enjoying the idea that he is getting into a fluster over you.

So I really dont know what you want people to say.

You know you dont need him and you know he isnt your friend but you are not coming accross very well so I can see why you are getting people's backs up.

Sometimes it's just fine. Today it's fine :-)

You've left and regret it. You seem as susceptible to his charms, so in the right circumstances, could be her.
Who regrets cutting contact with a man who's treated them as awfully as he's treated you?

He is not your friend. He is a dirty predator. Go on your local FB meet up groups. In our area we have Bristol girls meet up groups. Find one near you. Make actual friends

You are equally horrible. No wonder you regret blocking him.
