Should I Block My Ex During No Contact? (According to a Breakup Coach)
So you’ve taken the brave step and decided you’re going to do 30 days without reaching out to your ex.
And you’re about 95% certain you think it’s the best thing to block them for right now.
The problem? What if they get in touch with you and it’s important.
Important like, they finally realize all their wrong-doings and have figured out the perfect plan in order to get back together and live happily ever after.
Your immediate inner voice just shouted, “YES! Exactly!”
You might have guessed this but as a conscious breakup coach, a lot of my clients have the exact same worry.
Like, what if they’re blocked and they miss that text that says they want to get back together. And then their ex mistakes their silence and then they just miss their chances altogether at getting back.
I know, it’s compelling to keep your ex unblocked.
So why did your inner wisdom (Higher Self, or what have you) bring you to this article?
Well, in doing this for many years, it’s probably because you want a fresh start after the tumultuousness ending of your relationship and you feel that this would be a good way to just move forward with your life.
Right?
If that’s the case, that’s a really important motivation.
You deserve that fresh start.
And we all know there are plenty of ways our exes can get in touch with us if they want to.
Email.
Twitter.
Even Venmo
Worst case, they see there’s only one checkmark on WhatsApp, and they take another course of action if they’re serious about reaching out.
Because the truth is, sometimes it’s scary to move on and not know what you’re missing out on.
As much as you crave wanting to hear from your ex and get back together, another part of you is at the place where you don’t exactly see that happening right now.
And that you have your own process to go through in this time.
My advice to you today is to see if you can tune into that wisdom that guided you to this particular article.
What is it saying to you about what you will most benefit from?
You might want to ask yourself:
What am I holding onto by keeping them unblocked?

What do I want to get out of this 30-day no contact period that can help me make this decision?
