Ex boyfriends new partner blocked me?

[HPmummy19]

Hello!
Just a general wondering really and wanted to hear people's thoughts on it.
My exP, also the father of my son, has a new girlfriend (not completely sure they are official but they are seeing eachother). I don't know the girl personally but know they've been seeing eachother for a month or two. Anyway, I've never bothered them, I don't even talk to my ex as he is an absolute tool and disowned my son so why the hell would I want anything to do with him, but funnily enough noticed she has blocked me on Facebook and Instagram? I know this because I was with a friend who brought my ex up in conversation (asking if he has asked about his son lately) and we were on the subject of him having a new partner and she could find her social media accounts but I couldn't?
I personally found it very random and instantly was a bit offended as I can only take from that that my exP has painted me in a terrible light, most likely said I'm a crazy bitch that is going to contact her? God knows 😂
Just wondered what people's opinions were on why she might have blocked me?
I know it's probably not that deep and I am thinking too much into it. Unfortunately my depression and anxiety lead me to over analyse every situation in my life 🤦🏼‍♀️ hence why I've turned to Mumsnet to vent!

Don't think it matters?
It's none of your business who she blocks on social media?
If you're as well over him as you say you'll just ignore and not give another thought to it.
Plus... tell your friend you're not interested in idle gossip.

She probably blocked you because she knew when you heard about her you'd look at her social media

So you can't stalk her on social media while giggling with a mate about her. And turns out she was right to do so.

Erm, I once blocked an ex gf of someone I was seeing because I'd been stalking her on social media and didn't want her to know (by showing up on 'People you may know', or 'Recommended accounts' - which is linked to people you search). Could be that.

Or because she doesn't want the temptation to look you up! Does it matter though?

Are you blocked or can you just not see her? Sounds like a good thing!

What @JurassicParkAha said 👍🏻

Because it's always fun to stop the ex snooping.

Thanks for your replies. Actually it wasn't a case of "giggling with my friend" and stalking her? I have never searched the girl before, and obviously my original post lacks context but I have received abuse left right and centre from my ex and still do. I ignore all of this and know he spreads lies about me regarding his son and why he doesn't have contact. The night I "stalked her" as you have said is funnily enough one of the nights my exP gave me abuse as I opened a CSA claim against him as he has never contributed towards my son. My friend and I were discussing this as I wanted her advice and his new partner came up in conversation, is that a crime? I think it is very silly and ignorant to claim that that topic of conversation would ever come up, it's no big deal?
And ironically, the girl has obviously "stalked" or searched me first to even block me? 😂 I was only after some other point of views, as I previously stated my anxiety leads me to over think every situation and it just played on my mind that this is yet another person my ex has told lies to about me. That's all. Wow didn't expect people to lay into me so much?

Yeah.. it's all random innit

We all do it.
I look at my various ex's new girlfriends whenever they come about. I also look at my partner's ex wife from time to time (but that's because she's a thundercunt and I'm on the lookout for something on particular).

We all snoop and nose. And compare ourselves. It's a morbid curiosity.

We're not attacking you. Just answering your question.

Can I just say looking someone up in social media is it stalking. Social media is a platform for everyone to use and most people at some time or another have looked people up. Anyone, not just exes.
There's a difference between being nosy and stalking.

I think OP that you're overthinking and forget it, this has no difference on your life. Shrug and forget. Like you said, you're pleased you're not with him.

Sorry is NOT stalking.

Maybe she's blocked you to stop her being tempted to look you up?

I’ve blocked my boyfriends ex, she wanted my full name so she could look at my photos and see what I looked like? No thanks. She is now blocked.

Why is it important to you if you are over him and don’t care? It seemed important enough to make a post about it and also search her name!

I blocked my partner's ex when we were first together too.

I did know that she had been stalking me in fairness, but even if not I would have done it as I wouldn't have liked the thought of her looking at my profiles.

I've blocked my DPs ex wife no big deal, why would you care
I don't care who blocks me

He has obviously had to tell her how utterly awful you are and that is why he has nothing to do with his child. Of course it's all your fault, poor wee him, you are a monster and will probably do her untold harm as well, so best she blocks you. Lol, known tool behaviour... he wouldnt want her hearing the truth would he.

@Aerial2020 hi I never claimed that she was stalking me... a few other commenters implied that I was stalking her for doing one search on her to then realise she had blocked me. Which in itself is a contradiction as she must have searched me on both Facebook and Instagram to block me.
You're right - it doesn't matter, and that's her choice and I will forget about it soon enough. but unfortunately I suffer with compulsive thoughts (something I take medication for) and just wanted to see if people had thoughts on why she might have blocked me. Maybe I should have just kept it to myself though and I've been made to feel like a stalker for searching for a person once 🤔🤦🏼‍♀️

I didn't say you claimed it was stalking. I was referring to other posts

@Glitterb nice comment. "Seemed so important to make a post" is that not what Mumsnet is for? To turn to a community for support/advice? As I have previous stated I suffer with compulsive thoughts due to my depression and just appreciated having somewhere to turn to empty my head. I apologise if my post offended you.

Tbh, when I'm befriended by people at first I think why? Esp if someone I know nearby.
But then I think oh well, social media isn't real life. Most of it shit! I've actually come off some social media, deactivated for a while and it actually feels really good!
Maybe try that? Then you don't know and dont have to read other people lives.
Might be worth a go for you too.

I don’t see why you care, still have feelings for him?

Defriended!

@Aerial2020 apologies I thought you were referring to me! 😅 thank you for your input it's appreciated. You're right social media is the devil! It just took me be surprise to see she'd gone out of her way to block me on all social media platforms when I've never met her/spoke to her in my life. But it's none of my business! Just wanted to see what people's thoughts on why she might of done it were but suppose we'll never know :) x
