I've blanked my ex.

Things were going downhill and it got to a point where it felt like no matter how compromised I was or how much I sacrificed it felt worthless. The emotional 'home' I had in her became something more like a prison and I felt like I couldn't speak in fear that I would just annoy her or get in trouble again.. though whether I spoke or not I still ended up on the bad end.

When eventually it got to the point where I didn't feel safe around her and I couldn't say anything, I blanked her - it was like a paralysis whenever I saw her messages. Then with the help of some friends and family, I sent her a long break up message and wished her the best, blocked her right after as to not hear her response.

She's tried to come into contact with me 3 times since this happened and I've ignored each one. I tried to make it clear in my message that I need time away from her to heal and it wasn't respected.

And now you post about it years later. Sounds like you have not moved on.

Yes Iv had that a few times but I just don’t let it bother me anymore. I just move on and think how childish and I’m being than that.

I had it once here, the person concerned did not have the balls to tell me to my face so to speak so I faced them off over it. I much prefer people to be direct. I can take anything if they’re being honest with me.
As it happens they were no loss and I didn’t give them a second thought after that. My attitude was good riddance.
It can be a very cowardly act though.

@Primnproper Yes, good riddance. There is more to life.
"Blanked" ? Is that like being "ghosted” ? 🤔
@bijouxbroussard
I was thinking the same. Or silent treatment?
SW-User
@mindstruggle Yes, it’s a cold response.

The other is reinventing the truth. I’ve had that one before too.
@SW-User
Ah, yea :/ I get it.
