To think it’s odd DH’s BF has blocked me?

[Merryoldgoat]

I’ve been with DH 17 years. He’s been best friends with ‘Sam’ since childhood. He recently moved some hundreds of miles away so we see him less.

I have very little contact with him outside of DH. However I sent him a video in October, a picture which was particularly relevant to a joke we share in November. Prior to that no messages since 2018.

He was down last week and I gave him a lift to the station and we chatted about DS who has ASD - Sam is a teacher and we talked about DS’s art (shockingly bad).

Yesterday I found a pic DS drew and it was sweet but dreadful so I sent it to him with a flippant emoji.

I realised a few hours later his profile pic had disappeared and I only have one tick - all other messages are two blues.

That’s a bit odd isn’t?

I’m obviously not hurt or upset, just a bit perplexed.

YABU - normal
YANBU - odd

It's horses for courses isn't it. Some of us block at boundaries or political bolllocks or even to stop receiving messages that might make us dislike an otherwise nice person - all because blocking isn't as intense as drama. Some are the other way around.

I think "I just don't want a hidden channel of communication with you at this time" is fine and doesn't mean there is dislike.

I mean, I wouldn't make a joke about that. And especially not to a teacher. People aren't making up anything to read into, that's what went through my head too!

no. But he’s coming over in a few weeks so I’m going to ask him.

This had the potential to be SUCH a different more scandalous thread. 😞

OP please update when he does!

That would’ve been VERY different indeed 🤣🤣

why don’t you pick up the phone and ask Sam this question?

Then you can let us all know whether or not you are unreasonable.

Will do 👌🏾

It will be such an anticlimax 🤣

Well there are only a few options really:

1. He doesnt like you for whatever reason (although blocking you seems a little harsh and petty) we arent all for everyone so I wouldnt worry about it.
2. He has a crush on you and your jokey texts stir up feelings in him that are uncomfortable (thinking of the scene in love actually with the friend holding up the "to me you are perfect" cards to his best mate's wife
3. He has some weird OTT loyalty to your husband and feels its inappropriate to be texting you privately because it could be misconstrued
4. He has a new jealous girlfriend

I cant think of any other reason!
