He Blocked Me, Then Unblocked Me
The digital door that keeps opening
He blocked you. Maybe after a fight, maybe out of nowhere. Then, days or weeks later, you notice he's unblocked you. No message. No explanation. Just... access restored. What is this game?
What Tarot Sees
This pattern screams The Tower—sudden, dramatic change. Followed by The Moon—confusion, hidden motives. The cards often show Two of Swords—he's torn between cutting you out and keeping you close.
Blocking is a statement. Unblocking without explanation is manipulation. The cards reveal the psychology behind this push-pull—and whether you should respond.
The Cards That Explain It
Two of Swords
He's conflicted. He blocked you in a moment of emotion—anger, hurt, impulse. Then he calmed down and regretted it. But he's too proud to reach out. The unblock is his way of opening the door without walking through it.
The Devil
It's about control. He blocks to punish. He unblocks to reel you back. The cycle keeps you anxious and engaged. This is toxic attachment, not love. He wants you to notice and react.
Seven of Swords
He's being sneaky. He blocked you because of someone else—maybe a partner he was hiding you from. Now that's over, he unblocks. Or he wanted to check your social media without you knowing he was watching.
Five of Wands Reversed
He's moved on from the conflict. The block was emotional. The unblock is peace. He doesn't want drama anymore. He's not necessarily reaching out—he's just done fighting.
Why He Does This
He regrets the block. He acted impulsively. Now he's embarrassed to reach out, so he just unblocks hoping you'll notice and message him.
He wants attention. Blocking gets a reaction. Unblocking gets another reaction. He's keeping you engaged in his chaos.
He's keeping options open. He blocked you when he had someone else. That ended. Now you're back on the roster.
He's curious. He wants to see what you're posting, who you're with, whether you're suffering without him. The unblock is for his access, not your benefit.
What You Should Do
Don't react. He unblocked you? Great. Do nothing. No message, no view notification, no subtle post to get his attention. Let the door stay open while you walk away.
Block him back. If this is part of a toxic cycle, end it. Block him permanently. Remove his ability to play games with your access.
Wait for real action. Unblocking isn't an apology. It isn't a message. It isn't an attempt to reconnect. It's just... access. If he wants to talk, he can reach out like an adult.
The cards are clear: blocking and unblocking without communication is manipulation. Someone who wants you in their life will tell you—not toggle your access like a light switch. Don't play his games.
The Bottom Line
He blocked you, then unblocked you. That's the pattern. The question isn't "what does he want?" The question is: why are you still paying attention to someone who treats your connection like a door to open and close? You deserve communication, not access management.
