Why did my ex block me? the pain of being erased

my ex blocked me on everything you could think of (including venmo) and even blocked my phone number. it’s not the first time he’s done this but I just feel so rejected. I know I don’t want to reach out or talk to him but knowing that he literally made it so I can’t even call him makes me feel so hurt and rejected. like he doesn’t even care about me at all and just erased me out of his life like we never happened…

25 days no contact and I still check every day if i’m blocked. I still miss him and he was actually terrible to me……

there will come a day when he reaches out to you. my question is after everything would you even give him the time of day?

I genuinely feel like he won’t… :( but i go back and forth. I feel like I would explaining how what he did hurt me and then not ever respond but it’s hard to say. sometimes I think about it and i’m super angry and other times i’m so hurt and want him to reach out so I can explain. but explaining never did anything before anyway so why would it now

my ex blocked me everywhere too, even random apps i forgot we shared, and i kept checking like maybe today would be different. it felt less like losing the relationship and more like being erased.

that’s exactly how I feel and I check it multiple times a day like he’s magically going to unblock me :( I feel like he so easily erased me from his life and could care less. I think blocking my number also really hurts because he doesn’t even want me to have the ability to reach out to him :(

that kind of rejection cuts deep, especially when they treated you terribly and somehow you're still the one carrying all this pain.

I can understand. it’s hard to resist. maybe you can try to have good habits like. when the urge of checking if he block you arrive. you can try something that you like. it can be anything sports, playing games, watching series, anime (anime or series that are positive, easy to watch)

at first you will not notice the difference but after 3- 4 days you will see that the urge is less present, still there but less present.

yeah I need to try that, because at the end of the day he may never unblock me and it seems so silly to sit around and wait for that

i think after 25 days that there is no chance of getting back together.

i am going through the same thing. blocked and now won’t answer private number calls.

replied to an email on Friday but not the one I sent Sunday night pouring my heart out.

i feel lost, empty and have pretty much stayed in bed for 2 days. lost interest in everything and the worst part is, I gave him all my time for 7 1/2 years (I am retired). helped him build his business, moved various places with him.

he had children when I met him and I did not. Was too old, could have tried IVF but he’d had the snip.

I don’t have family or many friends and everywhere I go, it reminds me of him

I know there isn’t and I don’t want to get back together…. i just feel so hurt by being blocked… i’m so sorry to hear about what you’re going through :( try to do just one thing a day that you like! i had a hard time eating at first so i would try to eat something that i looked forward to, so things like that.

u check if you're still blocked each day, are you hoping he'll unblock you, or are you hoping it'll finally stop hurting if he does
