My boyfriend has blocked me
by Bec
(China)
I have a long distance relationship for almost eight years. I move from early 40s to early 50s and he moves from early 50s to late 50s.
His work required him to travel so we could hardly meet, but we kept daily contact.
Though distanced, we have made great progress in the last eighteen months. When I visited his town, he brought me to his apartment and to dinner with his sister. I am sure there is love between us.
We have not fought or argued. A few weeks ago, he was still telling me that he was mine. Last Sunday, he sent me an email saying that he would contact me soon and ask me not to text or call him. And he blocked me from WeChat, which is our usual communication app.
It was devastating to find out he had blocked me, like a door slamming right in front of my face. I felt so rejected. Why did he want me to be out of his way completely ?
Is he going into his man's cave ? Or is he breaking up with me ?

You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship. You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before. You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along. Thanks so much for helping us." Rita and Mark |
