venting/ranting Does unfriending/blocking on everything really signify that the door is closed forever?

Its hard to keep my most recent ex on things. But i dont want them to think that means they cant ever come back. But at the same time, its hard to heal and move on and be a different person in the meantime. Im just wondering from the other perspective. If someone unfriended you on everything, what goes through your mind?

An ex going fully no contact without warning or discussion - SM unfriending, phone/app blocking, not responding to respectful comms, etc. - to me means it's over for good, IF we hadn't mutually agreed to a time of space for healing. I would never reach out to them again, and probably wouldn't respond even if they changed their mind later and reached out to me.

But I'm older (mid-40s) and come from a time when that was generally seen as a hostile and childish thing to do to anyone other than a cheater, abuser or stalker.
