Blocking Your Ex Everywhere You Can Block a Person

While you're feeling all of your feelings, the sight of your ex's face might make you cringe, or worse. For this reason, we're oh-so-thankful that social media has graced us with the "block" button. The ability to virtually erase people might just be the very best thing about the digital world.

And don't give it a second thought if you feel the need to take it a step further by blocking your ex's texts and phone calls. When it's over, it's over, and nobody has time for a 2 a.m. "I miss you" message that really doesn't mean a damn thing in the light of day. Now, if you happen to live nearby or work with your ex, and are therefore forced to see that person, that's a different (and very unfortunate) story. In that case, maybe you could move or find a new job?
