Moving On : Should I Block Him or Just Ignore Him After a Breakup?

Breakups are never easy, and deciding what to do after can be just as tough.

One big question that often comes up is whether to block your ex or just ignore him.

She kept asking herself the same question: “Should I block him, or just ignore him?”

It’s a question many people face after a breakup. Both choices — blocking and ignoring — can feel final, yet confusing. Sarah’s experience was no different.

Every time Sarah opened her social media, there he was — happy, unbothered, and carefree.
