I think you need to protect your personal space, DazedandConfused254. I agree with all the others. It is your life and you have every right to make your own decision. Even though he can offer advice, he should not preach or dictate how you should live it. Perhaps blocking him was a bit drastic. Could you have just ignored his messages or calls? Was he too insistent? Usually I'd reserve blocking for people who bother me too much or I don't want to see ever again in my life. That's just my opinion, though. The final decision is up to you. I'd suggest to do this temporarely and see how he reacts. I don't think you have any obligation to stay friends with him, of course, if you don't want to. Just try to focus on your studies right now. Stay safe and take care of yourself. Feel free to PM me anytime. Let me know if I can do something to help you. Wish you good luck! Let us know how it goes. Sending many hugs to you
