Why does an ex keep blocking and unblocking me on facebook?

[Leanne]

The relationship ended October last year (so quite a while). It ended very badly and I can't figure out whether he is just being nosy (he can't view my profile if he is blocked obviously!), whether it means he is considering speaking to me or whether he is just 'out to get me' in some way and is spying on me. Am not sure how men think so any ideas appreciated! I have actually blocked him now because it was bugging me! We are both adults in our 30s and not kids, so it just seems weird to me that he would keep doing that.

That does sound very odd, almost has a 'possessive' attitude feel with it.
I'm sure that they are just being very nosy and wanting to see if you've moved on or what you're up to. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless he starts to act weirder and scares you then I'd report it.

If it's his first relationship that he's trying to get over, he probably needs some time. If someone invests a lot of time/love/dedication to a relationship, it's not something that he/she can just suddenly drop. Especially since you're both in your 30s, so it probably meant he really thought you were "the one". The sudden breakup may be devastating for him. Sometimes he'll wonder if it's okay to speak to you, but maybe he thought better of it? Or people sometimes remember the good times, and are just wondering what you're up to. Or maybe he's really angry that you two broke up, but then he still loves you so he's trying to forgive and see how to approach you. Whatever the case, if it bothers you, you should take the initiative to block him and end all contact with him. Because he hadn't said anything yet, you don't know what his intentions are. And sometimes it takes more than a year to get over a relationship. And perhaps tell your mutual friends not share anything private with him. Good luck!
