    If he reached out via email after you blocked him on his phone, his very reaching out is bypassing boundaries you put in place, it crosses a line and could be called manipulative. Focus on the being happier without him feeling.

    That’s a good point! Never thought of it that way for whatever reason, just mainly focused on the fact that this was the apology I was “waiting for” and felt happy to get it that it softened me to him.

    So… you blocked his number and he decided to respect your block?
    No, he went around that and emailed you because he knows you don’t know how to block emails.
    He is not respecting your boundaries. He is not respecting your request for him to leave you alone (request made by blocking his phone number).
    Best to just not engage with him. He gave you the perfect out when he said he did not want to you reply. Even if he did not mean it, take him at his word on that. Respect his boundaries (when he says not to respond) when he did not respect yours (with the block).

    Good point! @Wendy whenever I try to respond, this “Reply” box actually malfunctions and shows me the previous poster’s email address and username. Just want to call your attention to that because it was a strange thing that keeps happening!

    Thanks, yes, I’m aware that’s been an issue for some people. Try clearing your cache and see if that fixes the problem.

    That worked thanks!

    Feeling a little sad today but not sure really why. Was doing well yesterday but have little moments when I miss our friendship. It sucks!

    It’s just because talking to him and fielding his bullshit gave you a dopamine hit and something to do, and now you need something else to take its place. This is totally normal.

    Do something active and out of your head to get your mind off of lame boys.
