The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Wish you could block your ex?
I just got out of a never-ending, tumultuous relationship. My ex continues to read my blog MANY, MANY times a day. I got toolator but he figured out how to get past that! For some reason it is so infuriating to know he's reading it!
I don't want to make my blog private just for one person. He'll also send me mean texts when he reads something he doesn't like (did I mention it was a terrible relationship?). I just wish I could make it impossible for him to access anything on there.
Is there anyone who knows about your blog that you wish you could block?

not sure about the blog thing, but most cell companies make it easy for you to block texts and calls from certain numbers, if that might help. (I just did this for my sis on Verizon, as all I had to do was login to the account and enter in the number we wanted blocked).
I occasionally blog about my terrible ex from time to time, even though it's been about 3.5 years since we broke up (I have a hard time letting things go, lol...), but things post-break up were kinda rough and not good, so that kinda tainted our whole relationship when I look back on it. I honestly don't care if he reads it though, as what's he going to do? He can't really argue any of it cuz it's all true!
The only thing I can think is to maybe take a step back and don't mention him or anything about your terrible relationship for awhile on your blog. If he thinks maybe you're not going to be blogging about him or it anymore he'll get bored and quit reading and move on elsewhere. If it just happened not that long ago, of course he's probably gonna be annoying for a bit, and while it sucks that you can't write about what you want to maybe just taking time off that subject would be good, as like I said, if he realizes he's not the hot topic of your blog anymore maybe he'll get bored reading it and move on.
Also, I noticed a friend on wordpress has been making certain entries private - not sure if you can do that on blogger (I haven't tried) but it's something to look into - that way you don't have to make your whole blog private but if you need to vent about him or something you could do it, just not make it visible to everyone that may stumble across your blog.

What a loser. Thankfully I haven't had any issues with my ex. It's about time for him to move on, anyway, it's been 5 years!!
I'd love to block my sister in law. To be honest. She has messed with me online too many times, including using my PC to print a private blog of mine (about her grandmother calling me fat, while I was pregnant! Needless to say, it was private for a reason!!) She printed the blog & gave it to her entire family. That was super.
So yes, I can relate on the feelings of wishing you could block certian people easily!!

This is one of the reasons I moved to self-hosted wordpress; I can make individual posts private (so my ex-flatmate, the one I'm trying to hide things from, can't read the stuff I say about her. :D) and my hosting provider lets me block certain IP addresses. It's worked so far and the fact that I'm getting msgs like "bitch why won't you let me on your blog" provides me a case towards harassment..
If you don't feel like moving your blog, all you can do is just ignore him and save every message he sends you. But never reply. Ignore him and if he keeps on going, take your "evidence", and tell him you will go to the police. It's amazing what a simple threat can do... :)

Thank you Susie Q. I guess I didn't realize Wordpress had the power to do this! I will have to seriously consider this if he doesn't stop. The constant contact has stopped but only the constant-ness of it. What a pain!!

Just revel in the fact that he clearly has no life and spends all his time pining after you. Because you're just that awesome. :D

Something about this whole situation that I thought was hilarious is that he was my blog hit #666. I HAD to post about it. I figured it would get him a bit upset but the world needed to know. It was definitely more motivation to me to keep ignoring him! Thanks for all of your guys' advice. I really appreciate it!
