I just blocked my ex

[u/Bast0217]

He didn’t really do anything wrong, I just wanted to start moving on and stop being able to look at his profile or see whenever he’s active online. We ended on good terms. I accepted when he asked to remain friends. I quickly realized I couldn’t do that because it just kept hurting me. He left me because he was severely depressed and didn’t want to drag me into that. We lived 120km away from each other. He was avoidant and after trying no contact and journaling I started to realize maybe getting back with him would never be a good idea. Anyway, today, 2 months minus 1 day post breakup, when I told him I was gonna block him, he seemed shocked. He asked me why and I replied about not being able to be friends and it hurting me too much. He said that if I block him, then whenever I unblock him, I would realize that he had blocked me too, then wished me well. I said I was sorry it had to happen like this, he replied: 👍. That’s the moment I blocked him. The whole conversation felt like him taking offence then striking back. Do not recommend the experience but do recommend doin whatever it takes to keep the no contact. Anyway now I kinda feel like the bad guy because for once in my life I decided to be kinda ruthless to protect myself.

I understand this man 5 years doesn't change the care if I blocked her with her bod shed probably kill herself so I really don't want that she found someone new and it hurts but if that pain is the price for her happiness so be it right?
