Hi all,

Anyone very familiar with WhatsApp? If so.. I have a question..

I ended things with a gemini man (whom I was involved with for a year) recently and I offered friendship etc. as I hate things ending in dramatic, bad terms but he was being all stand-off ish and quite blunt saying he doesn't want to be friends with me and made a dig about me having many other guys (which is ridiculous classic projection on his part) but anyway, I said if he didn't want to be friends, that's fine with me & said bye to him. He immediately blocked me on facebook (I had already unfriended him a few months prior due to a disagreement and we did get back together but I never bothered to re-friend him..

He also had me blocked on WhatsApp already (a month before I broke up with him because I didn't reply in within the hour to him asking how I was, esp him seeing me online and he was feeling very attention-seeky (he is always the type to be thirsty for female attention) but anyway, at the time I blocked him on WhatsApp too (as I realised blocking is only one way in WhatsApp where the person who blocks you can still see your profile pic, when you are online etc.. I just couldn't see his profile pic, online times etc WHEREAS on facebook, blocking is two way.. neither person can see each other's info even if only 1 person did the blocking)...



About 2 weeks after I broke up with him, I noticed he had unblocked me on WhatsApp again (I assume as I could see his profile pic and his online times) .. whereas I still kept him blocked so I think he could not see my profile pic nor online times..

Anyway, I then noticed, whenever he was online and at select time periods, his "last online" time/"online now" would disappear (which I know is normal when people change their privacy settings to hide this but throughout the year I was involved with him, his online times would ALWAYS show... funnily enough, I noticed if I unblocked him, it would reveal his online times during those times where his online info disappeared BUT at other times, I could see his online time regardless of whether I still had him as blocked or not.. and it was often when he is online or shortly a few mins ago was online when this happened.. this kept happening for over 3 weeks, switching between the two states over 25 times each day.... I did think it was probably him switching the rights to see his online times from "everyone" to "contacts only" so maybe I would only fall under the category of his "contacts" when I had him unblocked...? but now thinking about it, it seems crazy if he was spending each day continuously for 3 weeks switching his privacy settings for showing online activity from "everyone" to "contacts" over 25 times each day... just to see if I'd unblock him to see if he was online or just to get under my skin..

so I wanted to ask... any tech experts - is there ANY other reason why this might be happening? This has never happened prior to the break-up nor with any other WhatsApp profiles currently e.g. friends..

Do you think my reasoning is right for why this is happening? Seems hard to believe but I do remember him being quite intense and controlling of me at times when I was with him despite him being a massive player himself.

Just curious 🙂 Thanks
