blocking needs to be about you, and for you¶

Whether to block an avoidant ex is a personal choice based on what protects your peace -- blocking is a boundary for you, not a punishment for them.

Key points¶

Avoidants breadcrumb to keep you in orbit without commitment; if even a small crumb will keep you hooked, blocking may be the right tool to protect your peace.
If you still want to see whether they reach out, you don't have to block -- mute them, leave messages unopened, and engage only if they return with real accountability.
Blocking is not about hate; it is about valuing yourself more than the crumbs they offer.
