What should i do after my ex unblocked me?

Author

Hi everyone! I need some advice.
My ex-boyfriend told me that things were over between us, then we went through 9 days of no contact and he had blocked me. Last Friday, he unblocked me.
Now I'm wondering: should I block him back, or should I just leave things as they are? How should I react to this situation?
I'd really appreciate your advice. Thank you! ❤️

i’ve learned that i feel calmer when i stop treating an unblock like a message. if he actually wants to talk or change what happened, he can say that clearly, and until then i’d leave the door exactly where it is.

you actually want him to reach out, or is seeing that he unblocked you making it harder for you to let go?

Honestly, I do want him to reach out. I still love him, but my pride is stronger than my ability to make the first move. Seeing that he unblocked me has brought back so many feelings, and a part of me is still hoping he’ll reach out. I just can’t bring myself to text him first.

remember how much meaning i used to attach to little things like an unblock, especially during no contact. i’d stare at it and wonder if it meant he missed me, wanted me back, or was just curious, and that guessing drove me crazy.

I can relate to this so much. I keep wondering if he unblocked me because he misses me, wants me back, or is simply curious. I still love him, and honestly, I wish he would reach out, but I don’t want to chase someone who said things were over between us. The hardest part is not knowing what his actions mean while trying to protect my peace.

He unblocked dosent mean he wants you. If you go back, you will realise that he didn't mean to make u comeback. and that will hurt more.

I understand what you mean. ❤️ I’m not taking his unblocking as a sign that he wants me back. I just need to protect my peace and avoid getting hurt again. For now, I’ll leave things as they are and focus on moving forward. Thank you for your advice.

Thank you for your advice ❤️ I really needed to hear this. Sometimes it’s hard to move forward when you still have feelings, but I know I need to put myself first and keep moving forward

I would let it be. Still maintain no contact. If the only thing that’s changed is he unblocked you then that in my opinion isn’t enough. I don’t know the details of the relationship but if it got to the point where it came to blocking… maybe you both need space to work on your selves.

Thank you for your thoughtful advice ❤️ You’re right, being unblocked doesn’t necessarily mean he wants to reconcile. I’ll give myself time and space, and let things be for now. I truly appreciate your perspective.
