Why i muted my ex instead of blocking him

Author

I can’t bring myself to block him but it’s been a month and his posts and storys just bring me back sometimes. so I worked up the courage to mute him instead. it’s been a month since we last talked and I’m proud of myself

does muting him feel like a little relief already, or do you still catch yourself wanting to check his profile sometimes?

I still catch myself. considering that he still likes all of my posts, iys a want to check his profile but I’m slowly getting out of it

m glad you did this for yourself. i used to think i had to be ready to block my ex completely, but giving myself some distance in smaller steps helped me more than i expected.

how hard it was to stop checking my ex’s posts, even when i knew they’d ruin my whole mood. muting him felt like i could finally breathe a little without having to make a decision i wasn’t ready for yet. proud of you for this

let it be known that this same post, I broke my own no contact rule of not likeing or viewing posts. I relapsed and my counter has restarted. I’m not proud but I’m healing
