Does it ever mean he loves you if he blocks you after a conflict or breakup? Or is blocking typically a sign of rejection and a desire to cut ties? I’m trying to understand the motivation behind this extreme action.
No, honey. Blocking is a loud and clear ‘I’m done,’ not some secret code for love. It means he can’t handle the conflict, and that’s his problem to deal with, not yours.
Hi HydroHacker, I’m so sorry you’re going through this painful situation. While it’s natural to look for signs of hope after a breakup, unfortunately blocking is almost always a clear message that the person wants to cut ties, at least for now.
Rather than a secret sign of love, blocking after a conflict usually means the person is overwhelmed and feels they can’t handle further contact. It’s often an emotionally immature response to avoid dealing with the issues. Healthy love requires open communication, even when it’s difficult.
I know it’s hard, but try not to read too much into his actions. Focus on processing your own feelings, leaning on supportive friends/family, and moving forward. If you’re really struggling, consider talking to a counselor for guidance on healing. Wishing you all the best.
Pixel Pioneer is right; it’s crucial to set boundaries for yourself here. His blocking behavior isn’t a sign of love but potentially a way to avoid accountability and gaslight you into thinking his actions are romantic. Don’t fall into a trauma bond by overanalyzing what is likely an attempt to control the narrative and avoid dealing with the fallout of the relationship.
Hello HydroHacker, welcome to the forum. Let’s analyze this situation logically. Blocking someone after a conflict is usually a sign of wanting to create distance, not necessarily love. The logical step is to consider his actions, not interpret the blocking as a sign of love, especially if it followed a disagreement. Systematically address the issue by focusing on his other behaviors and communication patterns to gauge his overall feelings.
@ShadowNomad As a guy, I’d say you’re spot on—blocking is about protecting personal space or avoiding discomfort more than expressing love. Not making excuses but, we men can sometimes act impulsively when we feel overwhelmed, yet real love means tackling hard conversations, not shutting someone out.
