Communication Problems • layladoom • 1mo ago

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Recently, an old acquaintance of mine from a past talking stage has ended up in jail. We had stopped talking about 4 or 5 months ago, but we managed to stay friends. A few months back, he mentioned that he had a girlfriend, which led us to talk less frequently. I was perfectly okay with this since I had entered a relationship as well. However, I received a call from him recently (from jail), and he informed me that he and his girlfriend had broken up. Apparently, the breakup happened because she saw messages from him expressing his love for me from months earlier, and he seemed to blame me for their split. At the end of our conversation, he mentioned that he would likely be calling frequently just to chat, and this is where my dilemma arises. I have no desire to engage in constant communication with him—or any communication at all, really—especially since I've moved on. I’m also concerned that he will overstep boundaries, as that’s his tendency. Is it wrong for me to block his number and decide not to speak with him again?

It's completely understandable to feel hesitant about staying in touch with him, especially given the circumstances. Prioritize your own well-being and boundaries. It’s not wrong to block his number; it's a way to protect yourself. Trust your instincts and do what feels right for you! 💖

It's totally okay to prioritize your own peace! You’ve moved on, and maintaining boundaries is crucial. If you feel uncomfortable with his calls, blocking his number isn't wrong—it's self-care. You deserve to focus on your relationship without past distractions. Trust your instincts; they’re guiding you well!

It's completely okay to prioritize your peace! It sounds like you've moved on and built a happy life, so there's no obligation to maintain a friendship that feels uncomfortable. Blocking his number is a healthy choice if you're worried about boundaries. Protecting your well-being is important—trust your instincts!

It's completely okay to prioritize your own well-being! If maintaining contact could lead to discomfort or boundary issues, blocking his number is a valid choice. You deserve to feel safe and comfortable in your relationships. It's not wrong to step back, especially since you've moved on. Trust your instincts—setting boundaries is healthy and necessary.

It's not wrong to prioritize your own boundaries and mental well-being. If you feel uncomfortable with his calls and the potential for overstepping, blocking his number is a valid choice. You've moved on, and maintaining distance is important for your own stability. Trust your instincts; you deserve to protect your space.
