If someone blocks you on facebook and you previously exchanged discussions on messenger.
My understanding is that the last photo they had when they blocked you would be the one that gets shown, permanently and period as essentially their account does not exist anymore.

Lets assume person A blocked person B.

If we say person A has updated their profile with photos 1, 2 and 3.

Person B will see the last photo person A had as their profile picture on messenger when they got blocked.

If person A changes their facebook profile picture, from 1 to 2, then 3 in a space of time, yet person B is currently able to see picture 2 now as their messenger picture - is it safe to assume that person A unblocked and then reblocked person B in a period between picture 2 being their profile picture?
 
ex girlfriend?

Yeah. I was scrolling down my messenger to find a conversation with someone from uni about my exam results and noticed her profile picture had changed from when I was initially blocked. I've then come to learn that isn't her most recent photo so I presume within a period of the previous photo update she's unblocked me for it to update to that photo, then blocked again.

Nothing good will come of this lol

Lol, just trying to understand why she would unblock then block me again or if it is a glitch.
 
Just move on. People are weird on facebook.

I remember commenting on my cousins photo of him and his wife on holiday and then I noticed sometime later they had disappeared off my friends list, but they still had a profile picture in the messenger. So I think I got blocked.

I've noticed one of the main reasons you can find yourself blocked is if they have a new partner.

She does have a new partner, which is why I don't understand the need to unblock me?
I thought I had her blocked on Facebook myself but only had her blocked on WhatsApp.

Everyone is right I should just move on, and I should and have tried; I didn't go seeking her profile and I just couldn't understand the need to unblock me if shes moved on herself.
 
Time is a great healer

Which is what I've tried to do but 2 months on and I still think about her a lot. I'm not interested in getting back with her, we didn't work; I just dont understand her motive to be honest. I called it a day but the feeling felt kind of mutual and my reasons were because of how horrible she was being towards me.

She jumped straight into another relationship within weeks of us splitting up, after being together 4 years and blasted it all over facebook telling people how happy she is etc which I found quite hurtful and disrespectful to the time we spent together but in the same breath she owes me no explanation or thought.
Maybe I'm just pining for my own solace because for me I still loved her despite the fact we broke up and didnt work, I invested a lot of time in her and I've struggled to move on from her and even meet someone else because for me I'm still healing which I beleive is the right thing to do.

Just felt it a bit strange that her picture had changed when I passed her going through my messenger for someone else, cause if she's so happy with someone else then why snoop on me.
 
You're all right, I do need to move on. I've tried though. I've spent every weekend since going places and climbing mountains to distract my mind and I keep failing. I wish it was as easy to switch it off because I would.

You're right there is no point seeking an answer to this.

I want to share my life with the world but I want my privacy at the same time :rolleyes:

'tis scary who can catch up with you.. Technology is a grass.

What do you mean?
 
I was thinking last night what a friend told me when I'd broke up with a girl I'd been in a relationship with for 5+ years.

He said "Why waste your time thinking about someone who doesn't give you a second thought?". It got me thinking and I came to the conclusion he was right.

It's right, I know it is. I'm messing my own head up when I do it. This week has probably been the most difficult week for me despite being broken up since the beginning of August. I just feel pretty lost with myself.
 
Post #28 and it finally comes tumbling out. Sometimes, it's better if they move on to a cage fighter gym rat type, at which point your pining will recede fast.



That's must sting a bit now. Nothing good will come of this. :(


I felt so low and insecure towards the end. I broke it off the last day of our holiday because it just felt strained and my head was messed up to the point I felt the need to ring someone to talk. She was constantly on my back with anything and everything to the point I felt so useless and weak. I know deep down it is for the best but it still doesn't stop me feeling love for her. I should feel liberated but I don't.
 

I actually did read all that. Som e of the pre-breakup ones could have been taken on board. I kinda took the defensive action to break up with her as I felt it was so on the rocks and inevitable anyways. Was a good read regardless thank you.

Are you thinking that she's unblocked you because she almost plucked up the courage to say "Hi" but then bottled it and blocked you again?

No - She would be too stubborn to reach out. I was just curious as to why she would have unblocked me. Maybe to see if she was blocked, maybe to see if she could see my profile I don;t really know.
