<human>: Hi! I'm brand new to reddit and this is my first post. 

I was with my ex for 2.5 years and we had a bad relationship. He was emotionally abusive and manipulative, and I suspect he has un-diagnosed BPD. Every time he would attack my character or call me names or deflect (and then attack) when I would try to tell him how he'd hurt my feelings, I would give him another chance. Foolishly, I wanted to believe that the person he showed me glimpses of from time to time was who he really was and I just needed to be patient with him. I wanted to believe the best about him, and I accepted way way less than I deserve for entirely too long. 

Anyways, I broke up with him and he kept trying to contact me so I had to block him on every form of social media and with my cell service provider. I also had to block other members of his family since he contacted me with their phones etc. I feel much better about myself and I feel confident in my decision. 

I've never had a nasty break up before so I'm not sure, but what is normal in these situations? Do I keep him blocked on everything forever? Do I eventually un-block him and just continue to go no contact? I don't want to be vindictive or anything, and I doubt he'll try to reach out at this point, but I don't want him to see unblocking him as an open door on the off chance that he notices he's not blocked anymore. I don't really have any interest in speaking to him again, but I seriously doubt that most people block all of their exes forever and ever lol.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Broke up with bad ex and blocked him. How long do I have to block him for? Do I just keep him blocked forever? Is that weird or bitchy?
