Did I do the right thing but cutting him out of my life?

My ex and I broke up 4 years ago. He's a Virgo and I'm a Pisces. He told me that he didn't see us having a future and didn't want to string me along. I'm in a new relationship now. I haven't heard from him since our break up. A few days ago he contacted me and we started talking. I opened up and told him that our break up had really hurt me and he apologised. I still have feelings for him but I didn't realise it was going to be like this. I have been thinking about him nonstop since he contacted me. I have told him that I cannt be in contact anymore as I still have feelings for him and I need to focus on my new man. He told he that's fine, he will never contact me again and all my details will be deleted. He deleted and blocked me on all social media. Did I do the right thing? I have missed having him in my life but I don't know if I can just be his friend. Should I have cut him off like this?

Anyone...

You should stay by your word and focus on your new man. If you broke up once, chances is going to happen again.

It seems bizarre to me that after 4 years, you still have such a strong attachment to a person that you have to literally erase them from existence because you can't handle yourself and your feelings.

Doesn't sound to me like he is the problem. Sounds like you need to grow up, and get a grip on yourself.

No future-no go. Stick to your guns. It may have been a better idea for you to have fully healed from Virgo before moving on as its not necessarily fair on the new guy if you're still carrying a torch for Virgo.

Do not look back. It was what it was. Go ahead
