Great essay, Ben.

I decided to block her. Felt mean and I pondered a long time before acting, but I eventually realized that it was the simplest way to end the dynamic.

Thank you, Emile!

Suuuuper late reply (clearly haven't checked here in a while) but am glad to hear you made the clean, direct break.

Yes it was best! And I had a phase a few months ago where I was checking back in with people and I actually tried giving her a call... and I found out she had counter-blocked me. Whew!
