Why would my ex partner from 17 years ago block me on Facebook?

Not that I'm bothered I'm just curious as to why he would do this...

We were together for 4 years when we were in our 20's (I'm now 44 and still single), lived together for most of that time. He was a sh!t to me though and would often turn off his phone and disappear on benders, was a serial womaniser and I caught him cheating on me twice - the second time I up and left but he didn't want me to leave; he moved the other girl in the next day and now they are married with 3 kids. We split up 17 years ago and I cut all contact with him shortly afterwards as I was really angry with
Him. It took him a long time to come to terms with as he continued to contact me for 18 months afterwards and finally gave up when I sent him a strongly worded email.

I've remained single for the most part since. I sometimes look at exes profiles on Facebook out of curiosity and boredom, including his and his wife's. I have no intention of ever contacting them and will go to my
grave having never contacting him again. However, I suspect he also checks my profile out as well. A few years ago I changed my profile picture to one showing I was 6 moths pregnant (used a sperm donor). After no contact for 15 years he sent me a message a few weeks after this picture was put up. I ignored him. A few weeks ago I couldn't find him on FB but when I checked from my mums page I found him no bother - he'd obviously blocked me!! Then a few days ago the same thing happened on his wife's page - she's blocked me too!

Now I'm not upset by any of this. I find it quite laughable. But why would he do this? I haven't contacted him for 17 years and have no intention of ever doing so!

Any opinions please?

Thanks x

Sallycinnamon - but we have never been Facebook friends! I was never on his friends list to be deleted. He could find my profile by searching but that's all. That's why I'm puzzled why he blocked me!!
