I’m annoyed I’m upset about this so just need someone to give my head a wobble!
An ex got in touch with me just before Christmas after not speaking for around 10 months. Amicable break up- he just moved to the other end of the country for work, no drama and we hadn’t been together that long at the time- around 7 months. I’m under no illusion that he just messaged to hook up and I was fine with this so we agreed to meet between Christmas and new year as I was going on holiday with the girls at the beginning of January. As it happens it never went ahead as he had to go back home early to deal with a work emergency. I was fine with this and wasn’t hugely invested so just messaged him saying no problem, it had been nice to talk to him and all the best for 2024, he replied with similar new year sentiments and that was that. Fast forward to today and when I went on WhatsApp to reply to a friend I noticed his profile photo had disappeared from our chat in the list and I could no longer see his last seen/online status so I’m clearly blocked.
As I said I wasn’t particularly invested in meeting up with him or anything and it certainly wasn’t like I wanted to rekindle the relationship (he was nice enough but we’d never have worked long term!) but I can’t help but be upset at being blocked after he was the one in got in touch and after a seemingly pleasant exchange and over 3 weeks after we last spoke! I only block people if they’ve done something terrible so that’s probably skewing my thinking but maybe some people are just a bit more liberal with the block button. I just find the whole thing a bit upsetting and bizarre!
