I’m debating blocking my ex on social media after 4 months of semi-no contact (we’ve both reached out once or twice to see how the other was doing). We ended on amicable terms because life was taking us in different directions, and we had a long, pleasant history together before we dated. When we broke up we agreed to be friends however I don’t have any interest in communicating or seeing what they are up to right now. I have them muted on social media except I still check to see if we’re following each other for some reason. This causes me to want to check their page and sometimes I end up spiraling and feeling some hurt as a result. I want to move on but I’m afraid that blocking them is burning a bridge I may like to revisit in the future if the stars align (not necessarily romantic but friendly when I’m in a better spot). I think about blocking them so that I’m unable to look up their page and will break this cycle of checking and rechecking that I’m in. The main reason I want to block is for my own peace, and the only reason I haven’t is I don’t want to burn a bridge unnecessarily if possible. What do you think?
