To just block him?

[Wantbotox]

So, I split up from ex of 20 years a year ago, 6 months this after I met a guy on online dating and I was very open with him that I didn’t want anything serious. He was very full on to the point where I had to block him, 6 months later I unblocked him to try and explain where I was at that point and he is trying again, talking about how I broke his heart, he told me he hasn’t so much as kissed anybody since I did what I did but then he admitted that was a lie. It’s such a massive turn off for me as all I wanted to do was say sorry.

Just block and don't contact again. He will never accept any explanation and just use it as a lever to get back into your life

So what is reasonable or unreasonable? Block and unblock. I would guess you are in your teens but you say you were married 20 years.

You shouldn’t have unblocked him in the first place. It should have been obvious he wasn’t right if he was so full on the first time. Sounds like he may have been a love bomber or desperate, and now you know he’s a bullshitter just re block him and move on. No need to have a discussion on an internet forum about him.

I just feel guilty for hurting him,

@Wantbotox no offence but what if he hurts you??? If you keep the door open by staying in contact he will keep pestering you. He's grown man, he won't be hurt for long

Just block & keep blocked. You haven’t hurt him, he hardly knows you and you blocked him for a reason the first time.

I wonder how many women would be alive if they just stopped feeling sorry for men and prioritised their own needs.

OP, you barely knew him if you only broke up with your ex a year ago and met him 6 months after that, blocked him and got back in touch after a time. That’s a few months at most that you were in contact with him.

He sounds like a right weirdo if he was so full on that quickly, and the likelihood is you didn’t break his heart unless he’s very emotionally immature or something. He sounds manipulative and just enjoys the power you feeling guilty gives him and he’s playing on your empathy. He’s a literal stranger. Block him

You didn’t hurt him tho. He’s admitted it was a lie and he has been with other women since right or did I miss read? He’s love bombing you. Just tell him it doesn’t work and you’ll block him again if he continues.

objectively tho you opened the door knowing what he was like last time so he thought he was in with a chance and has picked up where he left off (love bombing). You need to have stricter boundaries and blocking him is one of those should you choose it
