To wonder why an ex has unblocked me on WhatsApp?

It’s a bit of a strange one. And rather childish which I’m trying to avoid!

Me and an ex split up around three months ago, it dragged out a bit and two months ago we agreed we had to stop and go get our heads sorted out before we could look at either dating each other or anyone else again.

So we deleted each other from social media and I was blocked on WhatsApp. The only way we could communicate was via iMessage and we had a couple of messages about six weeks ago, then I sent a hi how are you message three weeks ago and it was ignored. So I just left it and assumed they were over it and fine now and didn’t message again.

However I’ve been on WhatsApp yesterday and noticed I’m now unblocked. Ex doesn’t use it much other than to talk to me, and the way they go online and offline, it’s like they’re still watching my usage like they used to. So wise Mumsnetters, why would my ex unblock me to then not say anything at all to me? No way on earth am I messaging first, and in an ideal situation I’m sure we’d both love to work things out, but unless ex is hoping I’ve realised and message first, I’m stumped to why they’d do it.

Block delete. If you got on and made eachother happy you'd be together, doing that.

I'd assume he had met someone else and was messaging them btw.

Messaging someone else I’d say!

Maybe you were never blocked and they just hadn't been on WhatsApp.

Why do you even care? Just delete their number.
