Would this bother you

Before I start this is an ex and I've noticed people on here day why are you bothered if it's an ex but this is really strange so I thought I would post anyway. Yesterday I was on my blocked list on whatsapp, I blocked exes number a while ago and over the years he has had a few different numbers so I've always had 5 numbers blocked and always assumed they were exes old numbers. Anyway yesterday (after about 2 years!) one of the "blocked" numbers had a picture! There was none before on the old numbers. It is a woman and no one I know, I have no blocked any women and she's appeared with a picture from no where, I typed the number into Facebook after hearing to do that on here and it's again someone I don't know but who lives very close to my ex. Who the hell is she?! And how did she get in my blocked contacts on whatsapp. This is going to really annoy me as I can't understand it. Would this bother you?

That did cross my mind fallen so I'm glad to see someone else suggested it. I don't look at his old blocked numbers on whatsapp it's a list of numbers and he's new one is there which I check occasionally you can't check that one without seeing the list of old ones.

I'm sure my Brother used to do this with his Mrs Facebook that's why I thought so. He's a sly dog and I don't talk to him anymore Hmm If it is the case you had a lucky escape. Hope you're OK x

For how long has he been your ex?

ThisLittleKitty · 06/02/2018 19:01

We've been on and off a while. He keeps telling me he wants to make a go of things again but then will disappear for months on end so I know it's just lies so haven't fallen for it. We officially broke up around 7 months ago.

OP just move on

I really don’t understand this.

If you don’t want any contact with him and don’t wish to have a future with him then yes, block him. If you’re always looking on his profile etc and going into your blocked numbers to check him then you obviously aren’t very over him

This is nothing. It’s obviously an old number of his that is now being used by somebody else. Stop reading so much into this.

ThisLittleKitty · 06/02/2018 19:13

I'm not over him no but I've had no choice but to block him. I doubt I'm the only one who still looks at their exes as whenever a man is caught looking at his exes on Facebook lots of people comment to say how normal it is and they all do it. I've seen it on so many threads on here.

Sorry op that’s a shit place to be. Only time makes it easier. Sorry that’s not really useful. But it’s the only way
It’s almost impossible to not look at social media when you’re not over someone
Eventually it goes away.
Can take years.
I can look at my exes now and feel nothing. That’s 13 years on. For at least 5 years I looked and it made me feel pretty crappy.

You say you assume that the number is one of your ex's but you don't actually know?
Could easily be a mis dialed number, an old friend or someone who once tried to buy something from you via gumtree etc

Ihatemarmite123 · 06/02/2018 19:45

Why on earth do you care?

Messaging them is nuts

ThisLittleKitty · 06/02/2018 19:50

I have never blocked a misdialled number and I don't buy off Gumtree. I know how many people I've blocked and it's only been ex (I don't just go around blocking people lol) I said I assumed they were all his numbers as obviously when a woman appeared I thought it couldn't be his number and wondered how it got there that's why I posted.'

I don’t understand why you care who this number belongs to. Why is it bothering you? Do you care if it’s your ex, your ex’s GF or someone who got allocated the number? Why? Forget it.

ThisLittleKitty · 06/02/2018 20:01

Because someone is on my blocked list who I've never seen or heard of and lives in the same area as my ex! Sorry for finding it weird.

Maybe he did it coz he knows you're constantly spying on him?
