Sent a DM on Pinterest to a former situationship / relationship who blocked me 2years ago. Was this a mistake? (21F) (25M)
(I’m a female)
Hey everyone, I need a reality check. I recently sent a message to a guy I was in a complicated situationship/relationship with a few years back. Things ended badly, I was going through a lot of internal growth and "heart awakening," but I didn't handle it well and my behavior became toxic. He ended up blocking me on everything.
I saw him the other day and felt a strong urge to reach out and apologize not to get back together, but just to clear the air and take accountability for how I acted. Since I'm blocked everywhere else, I sent a DM on Pinterest (the only place I could).
The message I sent basically said:
I understand why I was blocked.
I was in a bad place mentally/spiritually back then and I'm sorry for the lack of grace.
I’ve reached a place of peace and hold no ill will, only respect for the fun times we had.
I hope he's found happiness with someone who treats him right.
My questions for you all:
Given that I was blocked, is reaching out on Pinterest seen as a "boundary cross," or is a sincere apology usually an exception?
For those who have blocked an ex/situationship, would receiving a message like this years later bring you closure, or would it just frustrate you?
Is Pinterest a "weird" place for this, or does the platform not really matter if the intent is pure?
I’m feeling a bit anxious about whether I should have just stayed silent. What do you think?
