    I have decided to end a relationship and am having a hard time deciding if I should block this person from messaging me online.  Part of me needs a break and time to get past my feeelings without adding confusion.  The other part of me doesn’t want to show that I’m hurt or seem like I’m being “childish”.  I know it seems like a simple answer but I’m really struggling with this for some reason.  Any advice out there?

    If blocking would set a healthy boundary for yourself, then I don’t see anything wrong with it. If it helps you take care of YOU, then don’t feel guilty about doing it. I blocked an ex last year after I saw him spying on my social accounts. The blocking helped me move forward and gave a signal that I no longer welcome certain things in my life.

    Do you have hopes of you two being friends in the future? If so, then I would hope that you have been completely forthcoming when ending the relationship. In this case, just tell the person that for your own emotional protection that you need to block them and that you hope/expect to unblock in the future when you are just friends.

    If you are completely done with this person, then let them know (if you haven’t already) and block them. There is no need to hold onto connections of any form.

    Hi Ariene,

    I personally love to leave ’em hanging!

    Let the Friend Request languish in your Notifications! Laugh as your Messenger blips that it’s them, but they never get a response! Delete negative comments on your Social Media as unapologetically as if you were the editor of Vogue!

    It drives them CRAZY!

    Then when they’ve seen 12 or so of their comments awkwardly out there with no response, they will realize that no response IS a response! They will “take a break” from you themselves. Then after six months they will Messenger you to see how you “are”.

    THAT’S when you block them!

    Laughing Maniacally,

    Inky
