blackcat777 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 So, I've been 100% NC since the day of my breakup, locked all his stuff away, made him disappear on all social media, I do zero cyberstalking, but never bothered to block the ex on gmail (laziness, I suppose; not that he emailed me, anyway). However, when I log in to check my mail, I do... sometimes... wonder if there will be a subject header that says, "SORRY, I WAS A JERKFACE!" It's better for my sanity to never, ever, not even for a microsecond, have to wonder if something from him will be there. The silence will be better. I can't wonder because I'll know the answer. He's blocked. (I have to do this with my phone, too.) Anyway, I've found a few ways to filter emails right to the trash, or how to save them in a folder for later, but I'm wondering... Is there a way to bounce the email right back at him and so it doesn't even sit in my folders? I don't want to be that loser digging through my cyber trash in a moment of private weakness. I don't even want the psychic disruption of that temptation. Filtering messages to the trash feels like the equivalent of unfriending on facebook; I'd rather full-on block him, lock him out. I know it's easy to make a new email address, but at least I drew the sigil on my door... so to speak. I want to cut every thread, not just ignore them or make them invisible. It's about me making my space even more of my space without any looming mental threats. I'd rather see him at the front door or never again.
