(Not a woo thread .. I think haha)
Bit of context — I spoke to my ex (from forever ago) recently after literal years of no contact. He randomly called me one night and we had a very weird conversation that ended on slightly tense terms — not a full-blown argument, but awkward enough. We haven’t spoken since. Very much a “left things hanging” vibe.
Anyway, after that call, I noticed Facebook Messenger had glitched and put us in an ongoing call. I even messaged him at the time like, “lol why are we still on a call?” and he ignored me. So I ignored it too because I didn’t want to rock the boat or look like a weirdo. I just figured it would go away.
Fast forward two weeks later, I go to ring a friend and Messenger won’t let me — because I’m “already in a call”… with him. The same call. It wouldn’t let me leave or call anyone else unless I let it ring out. So I did — quick ring, no big deal, I didn’t expect him to answer. It was my last resort. I even tried logging in/out, deleting the chat (which I did — pic attached — covering his name obviously).
Then I sent a jokey little message to explain:
“Sorry, was just ending the ongoing call — been stuck for two weeks and wouldn’t let me ring anyone else. Even the Restricted Section has tech issues apparently.”
And he blocked me. Immediately.
So… was that actually weird of me? I wasn’t trying to restart anything — just escape a glitchy ghost call that had somehow become metaphorical for my entire emotional life.
Also, just for the record — he called me first. Twice.
Once was apparently a “butt dial” (on a platform we hadn’t spoken on in years, so… okay).
The second time was “to sort shit out” — whatever that means.
AIBU to be baffled by the timing?
Like… if you were gonna block me, why not do it after the kind-of argument? At least then I wouldn’t have been stuck in a digital purgatory call with you for two weeks straight.
