Woman’s Best Friend Randomly Blocks Her in the Middle of the Night. Then She Finds Out Who Actually Did It

A woman turned to Reddit after discovering that her best friend’s girlfriend had secretly blocked her on his phone.

The 31-year-old said she’s been close friends with her male best friend for about five years. Though they live an hour and a half apart, they’ve stayed in touch regularly.

“We’ve gone on a few overnight trips together, met up for dinner, done Christmas shopping, and he even watched my cat while I was on vacation,” she wrote. “We’ve never been sexual or anything like that.”

Her friend began casually seeing a woman who lived in another state three years ago, and the relationship became official about a year and a half later.

“They did the long-distance thing and went on lots of trips together. Now they live together,” she explained. “She moved in back in July.”

Since then, the friends’ communication has slowed down. “He calls from time to time just to check in. I don’t call him because I don’t want to give the wrong impression,” she said. “Sometimes I’ll text him about family drama or guy stuff — maybe once or twice a month.”

Recently, while the couple was traveling, she got a surprise. “He tried to video call me on Snapchat at 4 a.m. Then later I saw a missed call from him. I tried calling back because I thought something was wrong — but I was blocked,” she wrote.

When her friend got back, he explained that his girlfriend had gone through his phone while he was asleep and blocked several people. At first, he didn’t realize who had been blocked, but he later pieced it together — she was one of them, along with another woman, the mother of his son’s friend.

“He asked me how to handle it,” the woman said. “I told him he probably needs to talk to her, and he agreed — but he’s worried it’ll just start a fight.”

She added, “If it were me, I’d be upset. Instead of blocking people, she could have talked to him about whatever made her uncomfortable. Now it’s just created unnecessary drama.”

Seeking help, the woman asked Reddit for advice on how her friend should handle the situation.

“I can’t do anything about it — I’m not in the relationship,” she wrote. “I’m just trying to find some good advice for my friend.”

Many commenters agreed that the girlfriend’s actions were a major red flag.

“I don’t think there’s a gentle way to say that’s incredibly invasive and a huge violation of privacy,” one user commented. “It clearly shows a lack of trust. I’d confront it immediately — and honestly, I wouldn’t stay with someone who did this.”

Another wrote, “If she refuses to talk calmly, deflects, or keeps trying to control who he talks to, that’s a serious issue. He needs to hold firm boundaries and reassess the relationship.”
