To block him even though we will need to be in contact

[theteadrinker]

My bf and I have finished up our relationship.
We were incompatible and basically he treated me like shit on a stick in the end, coupled with some
Uncharacteristically nasty behaviour towards me eg sinister/ cold/ silent treatment etc.
I have him blocked everywhere except for one avenue d that's because we will need contact for legal reasons in the future (witnesses to an accident )
We will have plenty of personal contact over the next couple of years for that reasons.
I am Really hurt and the last couple of weeks have made things easier when we have had no contact so I really
Want to block him.
He could get in touch through my sister or a friend.
I just feel my mental health won't be able to cope with the inevitable waiting for the email notification.
He has a habit of coming back after break
Ups and hounding ex gf and being relentless. I can see this happening and I'm not strong enough.

Advice please and thank you?

I don't see why you need to be in contact with each other because you witnessed an accident - can't you both seperatly be in contact with the insurance company/solicitor/police/etc?

We will be in court together on several occasions.
Plus, his belongings are still at mine.

Back up belongings leave them outside his house and block

Get his belongings back to him

Set up an email address and ask him to only contact you via that channel. Do not link it to your phone etc. Check it once a week at a set time and ignore it the rest of the time

Thanks but I'm not sure i have that self control.
I'm also fearful that he will bombard me when he realises I've blocked him.
I'm reading about control and callous behaviour and the term narcissism or narcissistic traits keep jumping out.

You don’t need to go to court together, you can travel separately and you will be on the stand separately. You can also bag up his belongings and leave somewhere for him

are you looking for reasons and hoping he will bombard you?

Absolutely not.
In fact I'm quite scared.
