My ex blocked me on fb again. This is the fourth or so time. This time I didn’t say anything. I really didn’t. Its all because I typed “k” instead of “ok”. He didn’t give me time to explain that I had to type one handed, with my non dominant hand, or that the reason was that I was trying to stop the bleeding because I fell off the wagon yet again.

Sometimes you need to do what’s best for you. If you’re being blocked for abbreviating words, that might be a sign that the friendship might not work. I’m not suggesting that anybody in this situation was right or wrong… You can rightfully abbreviate words and he can rightfully block who he chooses. However, if obstacles are going to develop due to writing style… and those obstacles are going to affect you… it might be time to look elsewhere for friendship.
what purpose is served by attempting to maintain contact with someone who already made it clear they want no part of your life?
Do you intend to “get your ex back?” If not, why maintain contact? You’re probably better off without him… even though i bet you don’t feel that way right now. Maybe try to find someone who wants you, rather than someone you have to convince or coerce or persuade. You don’t want to be the one doing all the work to maintain the relationship, while the other person simply accepts what is offered because it’s easy and on-tap. People like that tend to not appreciate what they receive, which will make you feel… less valuable.
Plot twist: You actually fell back “on” the wagon. Almost like falling “up” a flight of stairs (I’ve seen it happen before, funny as it sounds, she sure as feck ain’t pretty).
Y’all need to commandeer your own wagon, stop jumping on others, yeah? Your ex ain’t worth the time/effort/salt so disregard him, I hardly think he’s done you any good if your posts from the last couple of months are anything to go by.
And maybe I should school everyone on Combat First Aid or something. It does have it’s uses on Civvy Street.
Well he sounds like an attention seeker. Blocks you, then then unblocks you, repeat.. And blocks you over saying “k”. Listen, you have problems to deal with and obviously so does he. You know what’s the worst combination in the world? Two people who had themselves. It’s like the blind leading the blind. Not trying to be mean, it’s just the way it is. If you ever want a chance at being happy, you’re going to have to go on a journey to do so, and hanging on to people who bring you down will never help you. As much as you want to stay with him or think he’s good for you, right now he’s not. Once you begin to get better, you’ll see 2 things:
1: that only you can make you happy.
2: you’ll wonder how you ever stayed in such a poisonous relationship for so long.
If you’re serious about getting better, you have to let go of the things that hurt you and that you can have control over. Best of luck
hate** not “had themselves”
I never wanted him back. He wanted to stay in contact to prove that he does want to help. Obviously though, he does not. If he does message me again with promises of friendship and other bull, I’ll tell him to screw himself with a flaming cactus.
well then… “we are what we do, not what we say we’ll do.” -Jung
You’ve seen that his actions don’t match his words. Judge accordingly.
