ex broke contact twice,

ex reached out twice

ex broke up with me about a month ago, on her terms. wasn’t an ugly break up but i wanted to stay together. this was about 2 weeks before a huge costa rica trip we had planned as well as 3 weeks before my bday. she asked to go no contact and she didn’t wanna hear from me while i was in costa as she was sad she wasn’t going.

fast forward to my birthday; she breaks no contact and wishes me a happy birthday. a nice but very courteous text and i just hearted it. she then has been liking all my friends pics on instagram, and even dm’ing of my best girl friends (knowing she’d tell me) asking how she’s doing. this past monday, she deleted our pics on instagram. this honestly really hurt as she had pics of her exes on her insta our entire year long relationship.

yesterday, i posted my costa rica pictures; and blocked her shortly after. a couple of my friends unfollowed her and i removed and unfollowed her 2 closest friends. later that night she sends a 2:30 min voice note asking how i’m doing, explaining why she deleted the pics (saying her own pics keep showing up in her feed and she had to delete them for her own sake) - sounds like bs; and then she said there was some stuff of mine over at hers still she’d like to return. she didn’t explain what it was and she had a giant bag of all my things the night we broke up - so seeming like a way to gain control and maybe see me one last time? it was a nice note but a very like “hope you’re okay, everything ended well on my side, no animosity all love” kind of message - when in reality i don’t hate her, but i blocked her for my own peace to move forward. i haven’t replied and not sure if i should or when.

edit: its been 24hrs since blocking and i feel weird about it. almost like petty and i’m letting her win by having her blocked but i know it was the best for myself.
