GeorgiaPeach1 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The act of one person blocking another after a spur of the moment disagreement (not even a full argument)--is this likely to be permanent, or just a temporary emotional reaction? Is the blocker likely looking for space or to punish? What happens if the blockee never acknowledges being blocked, doesn't beg or plead or ask why, and doesn't initiate any further contact? Wondering if this lack of response would affect the blocker, and perhaps lead to unblocking at some point. Not looking for a debate or harsh replies, please. Hoping for some insight, thanks.

CantTakeMySmile Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) If the blocker and the blockee are normally on good terms and are not usually fighting, then I would think it would be a reaction. I don't think one would be able to determine the reasoning behind it. I also do not think that lack of response would have any effect either way. I am not sure how you can beg or plead if you are blocked anyway, but if someone wants you to not be able to get in touch with them, I would give them that respect.

That's why the question isn't Should the blocked person find another way to communicate? Link to post Share on other sites
CantTakeMySmile Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Of course. That's why the question isn't Should the blocked person find another way to communicate? Then I am confused about the begging and pleading possibility. How could one do that if there was no open line of communication? Were you referring to in-person? If so, on no. I do not think anyone that has been blocked should attempt to communicate on any level with said person. Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 If after a spur of the moment argument, somebody blocked me, I'd be done. I don't date immature people. Mature people try to find a resolution. Even if that resolution is to break up to immediately go to blocking seems overly dramatic to me. So I would not seek another avenue of communication. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, it's immature. Especially since it was over something minor. Thanks for your reply. Link to post Share on other sites

You're still answering a question that hasn't been asked, but thanks anyway and take care. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Who blocked you? If it's the guy from the FB thread you made: https://www.loveshack.org/forums/breaking-up-reconciliation-coping/breaks-breaking-up/657741-facebook-breaking-apart maybe it's better you two just stop communicating because this hasn't been working for a while.

Gretchen12 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) I got blocked a few weeks ago. There wasn't even an argument. I wrote something he didn't like on whatsapp, so I got silence. Next day I find his photo gone on whatsapp, meaning he blocked me. I did imessage him to confirm it was blocking and not a misunderstanding. Then I left him alone completely. After awhile I noticed he deleted his whatsapp account. Ok... So I guess to answer your question, if you ignore a blocker who did it out of spite, then he needs to escalate to get attention. Yes I noticed his move of deleting the account, but it's been awhile and I'm seeing someone else now. He really needs to return to normalcy himself. It's silly to block someone who's not trying to get in touch. The immature person may unblock, only to find there's no longer any attempt to contact him. Then he might block again. Meanwhile the world moves on. Edited July 19, 2018 by Gretchen12 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Meanwhile the world moves on. I appreciate your detailed reply. You're right, it's silly and I'm not going to feed into the game. Contacting him is just not an option. So glad you've moved on. That's what I need to do. Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 As far as I'm concerned, blocking someone is a breakup. Treat it as such and move on. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Author GeorgiaPeach1 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 As far as I'm concerned, blocking someone is a breakup. Treat it as such and move on. Yes, seems that way. I posted this in the breakup section, but it was moved to general relationship discussion. Time to give up on him. Thanks for the feedback. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
