If He Blocks You, He Loves You? Here's The Truth

There seems to be a dangerous misconception making the rounds on the internet lately. It’s this idea that an ex (or a guy) who blocks you, actually loves you.

As if they’re just playing some weird reverse psychology trick on you. Well, today I’d actually like to peel back the layers on this onion and take an in-depth look at what’s really going on with a guy when he blocks you.

So, I’d like to divide this article up into three distinct parts

Answering The Question On If A Man Blocking You Actually Means He Loves You
The Important Role Avoidant Behavior Plays Into Blocking
Why The Mere Act Of Obsessing About This Is Setting You Back

Anyone that blocks you, is bothered by you. You’ve gotten to them in a way that they can’t ignore unless they block you.

[elibenjamen]

if he blocks you, he wants you, but he probably doesnt want to want you. hes most likely in emotional pain

[cherylthompson]

It is sad if anybody thinks blocking someone is an act of love.

Blocking is for children. I don't expect that type of behavior from a grown up man. Incredibly embarrassing whoever does that. Says a lot about them not being able to handle situations, lack good communication skills and emotionally immature. Grow up.

I blocked someone for my own well-being. Tired of being contacted only when he wanted something. Will not unblock and invite more of that behavior.

[danielborrowdale]

No if he blocks you he doesn't want you. If you have to play a game to gain a relationship be prepared to play that game forever to keep that so called relationship alive.

She blocked me so i blocked her too 😅 this is not love this is control and mind games.

[mauricesowerseliii]

If I block you that means I want nothing to do with you.

If a 37 year old man is consistently blocking and unblocking me on social media and texting off and on. I’m good. I’m done with games. If I don’t answer he blocks me than comes back days or weeks later. I don’t tolerate that. Be a man and talk. So I don’t chase, text or call or anything.. if you can’t communicate, we aren’t on the same page.

When he blocks you, he is a control freak, an egomaniac. Leave him alone and move on, preferably with someone else.

My ex of 4 years blocked me and it took a week for me to try and call him to even know I was blocked to begin with.
I admit it hurts and he is constantly on my mind.
But deep down I know that even if he was to contact me after a month that if we got back together the moment he does not get his way...he will pull this shit again and again.
It's about power and control...
As much as this chapter hurts me and I am listening to break up channels to cope...
I know this pain and rejection wont last forever.
It's sad to say but I hope that he does eventually try and contact me...
Just so I can be the one to not respond ever again taking back my power.
Is it childish???
Yup.
And if he never reaches out...well then I am already prepared....
Part of me will always love him and miss him.
And some days will be better then others..
Tonight I am strong...
And I know it will get better.

Me and my ex broke up 3 months ago, he did a hard block on me and his whole personality changed. I did the no contact… he hates me even though I loved him a lot he just became really nasty towards me… his personality changed to “I love you want to be with you forever” to “pretend I’m dead and never ever talk to me again” and he is an avoidant but yeah he was very very harsh to me. I am broken but have accepted it. But yeah sometimes people do come back… but sometimes they don’t it’s just the way things are.

No, blocking means we tried everything to fix the relationship. However, when dealing with an avoidant and narcissistic individual who plays games and hurts us, blocking is a way to protect yourself and move on.

IF SOMEONE BLOCKS YOU, YOU CAN OVERBLOCK
Go to your block list put in their name and block, when they UNBLOCK you they are still BLOCKED
You have the POWER

[neressakotas]

if he makes that decision to walk away just let me go. don't worry about him or what he is doing. get on with your life. if he does contact you. talk to him. is is your choice if you want to get back with him or not

[Chaoticraindrop]

Unblocking means nothing, just that they're ready to start the cycle again

[cherrycola]

I blocked him because it hurts too much to hold onto hope, and i rather pulled the bandaid off and dealt with the pain and not have the temptation of looking at his pictures. He was a real inconsiderate person anyway. I am trying to work on my situationship anyway. Hope is gone for my ex lover. He was too selfish, and he was hurtful. He won't upgrade himself for the better of us.

[shanicehunt]

He blocked me because he's insecure and can't offer commitment because he simply doesn't care enough to. It all good I'm making my peace with that...

[mrreddington]

I got ghosted by my gf of 4 years and it was because I complained that we never see each other and she takes forever to respond to my texts. So instead of talking about it she said she was going to the movies and I said ok bye.
That was it. I didn’t contact her and then she blocked me after like 3 weeks and then I noticed her friend would see my stories even though we aren’t ig friends and now she blocked me as well.
Honestly don’t beg for these types to get back with you. They left so move on.

Does it matter?
For whatever reason, the relationship ended & so has communication. Whatever the reason is, i wouldn't waste my time and feelings into people or organizations that won't reciprocate!
