The last time Id blocked an ex was anything but casual.
Id been wrecked by our toxic love affair, which became the basis for my novellaWomen.
Whats the most niche place youve been blocked?I asked my followers.
(I respected it.)
I miss you, I wrote.
Also, fuck you, I continued.
And I love you, I said, finishing strong.
A week later, Avery replied to the first text, asking, “Did you mean this?”
I was just saying shit!
I thought I was blocked!!!
Then I blocked her.
She emailed me with the subject line, Now that youve blocked me again.
I take blocking as a compliment, I wrote.
Most people dont, she said.
It means I affected you, I responded.
For me its a version of the opposite.
It means Ive hit an unhinged point and need to get you away from me before I lean in.
Avery and I didnt last, but my love of blocking has endured nonetheless.
I blocked her for 24 hours.
