Why did ex block me on facebook?

[RichTee]

(May I apologise in advance for this thread making me sound like a hormonal teenager)

I am very happily married with 3 Dc's. 10 years ago I had my heart broken, I was in a relationship with a man for a few years, he didn't treat me well and it came to a messy end. He got together with his now wife the week after we split up and we have only briefly seen each other twice since.

Two weeks ago he added me as a friend on facebook, I accepted, admittedly I often think about him and what happened, it had a huge impact on me for years afterwards and I have never really had closure - although I am now over it and very happy.

We exchanged a few emails, he 'liked' some of my photos, 'added' some of our mutual friends and then blocked me... Please don't get me wrong, I am not still in love with guy just a bit insulted and perplexed?!

My ex does this all the time on MSN.

Adds me, then deletes me. I ask him why, then he calls me names. I told him to just permenantly delete me if he doesn't want to get along, then he says he does so, I just leave it now.

Whatever to him, really.

His missus might've seen he had you on Facebook and told him to delete you if he really loves her, or something. Just like the others have suggested.

Exes are exes for a reason. :)

"Why did ex block me on facebook?"

there really is only one simple thing to ask here..

"why do you care?"

This was someone in your past who hurt you, so picking the scab off an old wound is a really really bad idea.

If you had ended amicably, then it is easy to be friends on FB, but this isnt the case, is it.

Honestly, you are better off not being back in touch with this person.

Serial shaggers are rarely sensible, thoughtful men of integrity, wobbly, and if only there were a lot less of them around.

perfectstorm is spot on, Tee. Next time he wants to add you as a friend on fuckbollocks FB, get closure by not accepting because he only wants to add you to his store of potential legovers boost his ego.

Of course it's the wife!

She's obviously no fool, knows what he's like and realises that this sort of contact with you is probably only going to lead to one thing

He sounds like an utter mare

See it as a blessing in disguise

You sound well out of there

I've blocked every single ex I've ever had on facebook. In the "old days" you'd probably never see them again and I think life's better like that.

I think his wife's found out. If I added an ex on facebook (not that I would!) My dh would not be happy and would question my motives. I mean why DO you need to talk to an ex? An ex is an ex for a reason. And I don't think its possible to be friends with an ex without all the ex-y stuff creeping in. But that's my personal opinion.

Agree Wigglewoo, fb brings people back together who probably should just remain in the past, this is one aspect of fb which I loathe.

Yes, I agree it is for the best, he should remain in the past and I now realise that I do actually have closure (didn't think I did) - I just can't help feeling insulted that he blocked me!

maybe it was the wife... didn't think about that!

Anyway, whatever it is it is a good thing. Don't pick the scab, don't blur the boundaries.

Abitwobblynow - I did wonder if it was his wife... It seems a bit drastic on his part, I hadn't contacted him, only replied to one of his messages, it was friendly with no hint of 'funny business' just told me he had two children etc, I replied to say the same and how happy I was.

I would never jeopordise my happy, loving marriage by meeting up with him, not in a million years. Plus he's put on a lot of weight and looks pretty unhappy

I agree its probably his wife whose blocked you , however you could also check your own profile as you never know your Dh might have gone onto your Facebook account secretly and blocked your ex !

Jemma1111 - Haha! Quick thinking, I will check, lol!

quietlysuggests - I told him he'd added me and that he had put on a lot of weight, DH laughed. Didn't mention the photos though.
