Yes and no.

Yes, I will challenge thoughts/disagreements. I will try to work through them. Hell, sometimes too much... But no, I will never go beyond that. Regardless if she is the love of my life. Once there’s blocking and some of the other stuff you described, that’s usually the tipping point. Or should be for 100% of everyone.

First of all, your logic is dangerous (and I hope this is a troll post). For example, say a guy is reading this or knows you enough that you want this treatment. Now he’s thinks women want to be stalked/harassed if they get blocked by them. This is already criminal behavior, and could escalate to something violent. This shouldn’t be normalized, because your feelings are not the norm.

There are also several other issues. You’re sending a pretty clear message you don’t want to be chased or with him, whether that’s your true intention or not. So they feel rejected and assume it’s over for good because you’ll never want them. It’s also a pride thing. It’s extremely embarrassing being “that guy” stalking his ex. Other people notice.

I’m sorry, but you are in the wrong on this. He could very well be in love with you. In fact, even more so if he has the respect to honor your wishes. And right now, he thinks your wishes are to not be with him. Show/tell him your true intentions and apologize. Then you can see if he really loves you.
