Breakups are bad enough as it is, but I’ll get the occasional question about how to handle your online reputation after a breakup. Sometimes women will write in and say something like:
“My ex boyfriend blocked me on FaceBook! How could he do that?!?”
Well, here are some things you can keep in mind about online activities while you’re struggling with a breakup if you want to know how to get your ex boyfriend back but your ex just completely ignores you, or if you just want to move on.
Don’t block your ex boyfriend yourself
This will just come off as extremely petty. If you’re okay to leave bad blood between the two of you, the go ahead and do it. But if you want to get back together with him or even just be friends with him, you need to be a little bit more mature.
Keep him as a friend if you can, but simply turn off any updates you get from his feed (depending on which website you two are on–Facebook, or whatever).
It’s just going to seem weird to have to re-friend him later on, so just be civil and don’t do it.
But What If He Blocks You?
When this happens, don’t take it too personally. Sure, the two of you may have had your disagreements. Maybe that’s even why you broke up.
But he could have blocked you for a lot of different reasons.
Maybe he doesn’t want any sort of drama in his life right now. Finding out that you’re moving on, getting over him, and dating someone new might really make him feel horrible. Seeing that your ex has a new boyfriend or girlfriend can be a very painful thing to experience. Maybe he’s just trying to avoid this.
Or maybe he just wants some space away from you for now so he can put the pieces of his life back together again. He could be using the No Contact Rule himself (in case you don’t know, the No Contact Rule just means that he’s blocking you out of his life for about one month to give him time to heal).
Or maybe he blocked you because he has a new girlfriend and he doesn’t want the drama of you knowing what him and his new girlfriend are doing. If he doesn’t want you freaking out about every update, he might have blocked you.
Or maybe he is acting out of an intense emotional reaction himself. Could the drama of the breakup have led him to push you out of his life (or at least his online life)?
What to Do About It
Don’t treat it like something big if your boyfriend blocks you. You want to seem mature and in control here. Simply act as though you didn’t even notice or that it didn’t have an impact on you at all.
Maybe there will come a time when the two of you can get back in contact and be friends again, but for now, respect his desire for a little bit of space away from you. Maybe now would be a good time to think of things to do with your ex boyfriend. Try to move on and not get to fixated on this. Remember to be the bigger person here.
