Yesterday I blocked and deleted my ex's numbers and Facebook/messenger. He was manipulative and emotionally abusive and I suspect he was working his way up to full on gaslighting eventually as I recognised the signs. I had been hoping to stay friends because one part of my brain tells me how lovely he is but then I remember how he disparaged all that meant anything to me and criticised lots of things and tried to be dominant in some areas but played the victim or martyr in others. Headfuck really.
