A few years ago I blocked my ex. We had dated for 3.5 years and the relationship became so toxic. Our break up was mutual, and he really wanted to remain friends. We were both in a fragile state and didn't really know how to stop talking to eachother, because it was what we were used to. He always texted me or called me late at night to tell me he missed me or to vent about him having a bad day. I felt pressured to be there for him because I worried what would happen to him if I wasn't. My anxiety skyrocketed every time we engaged in conversation, to the point where I dreaded us talking because I felt like I was constantly re-opening wounds I was trying to heal. When I started seeing someone new (now my husband) I made the decision to block my ex with no explanation. I have no idea if he ever tried reaching out to me, nor do I care, or really even want to know at this point. I felt really bad about it for awhile because I worried I hurt his feelings by ghosting him after all we had been through, but in the end I know I made the right decision.
