Dealing with a Ghosted Relationship: Why Does He Keep Blocking and Unblocking Me on Snapchat?

When your ex-boyfriend[1] decided to ghost you, ditching you for someone he got engaged to, and then blocked and unblocked you over Snapchat, the confusion was understandable. But why does he still seem to obsess over you after 8 months of no contact?

Is He Worth It?

As tempting as it might be to let your friend deal with him, it’s crucial to take control of your own emotions and focus on your well-being. Here’s why:

Your ex’s behavior might suggest he’s not that interested in your well-being, and might do the same to his new girlfriend. By blocking and unblocking you, he may be trying to lure you back into the conversation. Beware of his ploy to get your attention. He might still be thinking about you, even though he is engaged. Your contact can make him question his decision, causing him to unblock you out of a desire to reconnect.

Why He Keeps Reconnecting

Block and forget him, once and for all. This is a common strategy used by exes to regain your interest. Here’s why you shouldn’t fall for it:

He might have just broken up with the new girlfriend and be in a desperate search for someone to satisfy his desires. You might be the answer to his problems, but it's still a manipulative and unhealthy approach. Following up with him will only make you look needy, and he might use that as an excuse to deflect from his actions. He could even suggest he was comforting you with the prospect of a fling.

Ending the Cycle

To truly move on, take these steps:

Completely block him on all social media platforms and delete his number. Focus on healthier relationships and forgetting him. Each time you think about him, remind yourself that you are better off alone. Seek support from friends and loved ones to help you heal and move forward.

The Importance of Setting Boundaries

Dealing with a ghosted relationship can be emotionally draining. Here are some tips to help you set and maintain healthy boundaries:

Stay assertive and clear about your intentions. Avoid giving him mixed signals that might lead to confusion or manipulation. Focus on self-improvement and personal growth.

Final Thoughts

He might be a cruel bastard who enjoys playing games for his amusement. Block him and move on. There are plenty of healthier and more fulfilling relationship options out there. Embrace your newfound freedom and focus on you.
