Was this a catfish?


Recommended Posts

Ex boyfriend blocked me yesterday and he NEVER blocked me bfore and what's strange is yesterday before he blocked me I was on a singles site where I also met him a while back and a guy messaged me but it awfully seemed like my ex with same age and height. He asked to ask then sent his phone to text I said I couldn’t already move on to texting, 30 minutes after I wrote that 9:30 am my ex blocked me on viber at 10 am and I know because his online status was no longer visible. When I tried calling the number the guy gave with s blocked number it was one of those made up free numbers from an app. Does it sound like it was him? My ex would also use apps like textfree to get a number form and text me. What would cause him to do this and why would he get angry and block me?

To be honest he may have. He may be seeing if you are moving on and as such is deciding to move on himself by initiating no contact. Its a sly tactic but in the long run it will help him try to get over you and vice versa.

 

If you dont mind me asking, how long has it been since the breakup and who initiated it?

Blocking is standard technique for those who wish to move on without reminders or contact from the ex.

We've been over for a year and I tried going back a few times so it was strange how he did this

It's not strange at all that an EX blocked you. If you are EXs you need to be disconnected on all platforms. The fact that you were still communicating is the strange part. I do think he tried to catfish you on the dating platform & that is just game playing. Anybody immature enough to do that --- well it's a blessing he's out of your life.

Yes but he never blocked me before. So based on this situaton what do you think the blocking means? It sounds like it was him right?

You will never know for sure if it was your ex. And you will never know for sure what his motivation in blocking you is. The only thing you can know for sure is that it's time to move on and learn to love your life without him.

The likelihood and all signs match up to 90% it's him and sinc ehe blocked me 30 min after i replied makes it even more obvious so that was my question. Please don't try to detour and write same general advice. If you're going to detour the question then dont bother replying please.

I would love to be able to get into his brain and give you something definitive, but none of us can do that. I know this isn't the advice you're seeking, but I do know what it is to be twisted in knots trying to guess what's inside someone else's brain, and I also know that it's a fruitless exercise.

 

I write this to support you out of this spiral of questions which will never have an answer.

I am more concerned about what you worrying about it means. You should have already blocked him & not be bothered about what he is doing or not doing. The fact that you are still concerned tells me you want him back. That doesn't sound healthy. He's immature.

 

Him catfishing you could me he wants you back but he's too childish to say so. It could mean that deep down he's a mean spiteful person who wants to further hurt you because he enjoys torturing you. It could mean that he's finally, well & truly done.

Ex boyfriend blocked me last Sunday and he NEVER blocked me before and what's strange is before he blocked me I was on a dating site where I also met him a while back. A guy messaged me, but it awfully seemed like my ex with same age and height. He asked to talk on messenger and i replied later saying ok but he was offline already.

 

He replied later but i was asleep saying sorry i missed your message but lets talk tomorrow with his number to text him. I replied on Sunday at 9:30 am saying sorry I don't know you and cant already move on to texting, 30 minutes after that my ex blocked me on viber at 10 am and I know because his online status was no longer visible. When I tried calling the number the guy gave with s blocked number it was one of those made up free numbers from an app.

 

TL;DR Does it sound like it was him? My ex would also use apps like textfree to get a number form and text me. What would cause him to do this and why would he get angry and block me? Is this too much to be coincidence? Is it likely he has a gf because he blocked me or that it's because of the catfish incident?

Something very similar happened to me last week on Instagram. I suspect Catfish... so just throw him back and go NC. That means stop cyberstalking him. That has helped me the most! I deactivated most of my social media to curb my tendency. I may have to stay off of them for the whole year if necessary but I am determined!

idk

 

I try to identify a catfish asap and then blocked all attempts. I have no clue if I am blocked or not. I'm already hurting enough I sure don't want to bring any more pain to myself by checking.

Well why would he feel the need to block me?

 

Maybe just because you are EXes.

 

As in no longer together.

 

Probably all a coincidence and he's moved on and that is good, so why not move on as well?
