iMessage reacts when blocked?

[Et20]

About a week ago, my bf and I had a fight and I asked him to block me. Me blocking him never works. Anyway, he did block me, my last message asking him wasnt ‘Delivered’. This is fine, I asked for it. This morning I woke up to see two notifications from his number but when I opened my phone only saw one And it was a heart react to a picture. I don’t know which one since I deleted my Messages with him.

Does this mean he unblocked me? I’m not going to message to ask... anyone know?

Please no mean comments...

If you are sure you received a text from his number, that means it came from his number, unless he somehow spoofed it. The message you sent previously that wasn’t Delivered, doesn’t necessarily mean he actually blocked you. It could mean he had his phone in Airplane mode, DND, phone not in range etc.

Not sure why you want to know, if you aren’t going to act upon it or more importantly move on with your life.

It wasn’t a text, just got two notifications and I obviously know his number. It just a heart react on a previous picture I probably sent him but it’s showing blank on my phone. I didn’t block him... I just asked him to when he was being rude. He’s deployed, it’s my first time dealing with this. He did block me, I asked him to... the last message I sent asking him to was never delivered. We were texting and I was asking him to...

I’m sorry, I just didn’t expect to ever hear from him again... so wasn’t sure if the notifications were a mistake...

it sounds like you still care. It can be stressful being in a relationship with someone who is deployed.

Give the situation a little bit of time and then say what you need and want to say (clearing the air) and give him some space as well to decide how or if he wants to respond. At this point, it isn’t really a matter of who is right or wrong. It is more so a matter of stepping back and looking at things objectively and realizing that both of you probably said and did some things you regret due to the stressful circumstances.

Thank you for the kind words... I do still care but I don’t want to bug him. Just since he’s been gone he’s been snapping and he’s the one calling... so I got a bit confused and eventually asked him to block me. I’m ok to let him do his thing. He’s a good guy. I know he’s been flying and out of service some days, and I was ok with that, as long as he was safe... Nothing bad was said from either side.

I honestly just wanted to know how I was getting a heart react on an image I’d sent previously... and it’s obviously a picture I’d sent previously which he would’ve heart reacted to already... Could he have unblocked me now? ...that’s what I want to know, without actually messaging him to check.

I hate being so dumb about this...

There is no way to know 100% on iPhone.

He unblocked soon after I asked him to block me... he only sent a react when he got back just to show me he hadn’t blocked me and was giving me the option to contact him if I wanted to. Ughh, what a pain... now have to ask him to please tell me what he expects from me when he goes away so I don’t get all confused again.
