3. They’re Hurt — Even If They Ended It
People assume that the one who initiated the breakup doesn’t feel pain. That’s rarely true.
Even if they chose to leave, they may still:
Miss you
Feel guilty
Feel conflicted
Struggle with loneliness
Blocking can be a way to silence those complicated feelings. Seeing you happy (or even just functioning) might intensify their regret or doubt.
In some cases, blocking is a sign that the emotional attachment hasn’t fully dissolved.
