Heyya folks,
When you are going no-contact, do you delete your ex's number, perhaps even block them from your socials, or do you keep things as they are and not mind them seeing your posts and online activity? I am curious how different people approach no-contact and what has worked best for them. ðŸ’

what worked for me was making no-contact about MY peace, not about being polite or proving i was over it. if seeing them online kept reopening the wound, i stopped giving myself access to it.
when you picture keeping them on your socials, is it because you're genuinely okay with it or because a small part of you still hopes they'll notice you're there?
i learned the hard way that keeping my ex on socials kept me emotionally stuck. every story view felt like a message, every post sent me spiraling, so i muted and eventually removed him. it was the first time i felt my brain go quiet.
did they ever come back reaching you after you removed him on all your socials?
I deleted their number, and blocked them on whatsapp and Instagram. However, I haven't yet deleted our chats. I set strict usage timers for my ig and WhatsApp so I'm not tempted to spend time looking at the old chats.
i deleted all our messages, i unsave his number yet I can't keep his WA blocked (sometimes i still resave his number and upload stories just to let me know how I am doing and wonder if he still cares.. i consider this as my relapse 😔) however i have deactivated my IG account instead, it's been 6 months and I feel much lighter although still grieving ..
to let him know*
I blocked him everywhere, except for WhatsApp. he hasn't blocked me at all. I however unsaved him number from WhatsApp because each time I see stories it triggers me knowing that we are no talking at all. so I'd say it'd be up to you honey
thanks for sharing! i think i'd prefer to just unsave his number at the moment .. blocking didn't really work well with me cause eventually there were times i'd unblock him cause I missed him and kind of wished he would want to fix things with me and get back together again 😔
This is completely up to you. My girl and I broke up last week. We met up in person a couple days later and unfollowed each other together. on my both figured that it wouldn't be healthy to be able to see each other's posts and accounts. I still have her number and it's incredibly hard not to reach out. We discuss blocking each other, but we both decided we wouldn't do that. I don't know how your relationship ended but if you feel like this person must be blocked for your own peace, then do it. We need to keep our peace 🫂
I relapsed yesterday :( i already removed his number it's been days, but he just texted me out of nowhere and I didn't ignore his message but I replied to tell him not to contact me anymore since we are not going to see each other in person (we were in an LDR). He did not take it well because blocking/unblocking had been a recurring issue in our relationship. Not my best moment, but I am getting back on track with no contact 🥺
