Why would my ex block me after I blocked him?

I'm sorry for some strange comments, people can be so fast to judge.

I think you will never really know the answer to that. Maybe you can assume, only you know him. I had similar case happening, I had to block due to his drunk messages at early hours. Later he blocked me back, I found out by coincidence on group we are both part of. My assumption is his power and control play. He has strong signs of a sociopath, but if not, definitely a narcissist (truly, not throwing this world lightly). So this was his way of showing anger and trying to show control, or maybe get a reaction out of me, which won't happen. It is a bit funny though, I must admit I chuckled!

Try to resolve you individual case and remember the reasons you blocked him and slowly move on. Sometimes, it is better to cut the contact, and sometimes you can welcome someone back in your life once the feelings are gone. Choose what suits you best.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?
