Blocking Your Ex on Email and Phone

Hello Fellow Coparent,

In certain situations, blocking your ex on emails, phones, and texts can be a healthy and safe choice, especially when you’re using BestInterest. Here’s why it makes sense and how BestInterest ensures you don’t miss out on emergencies.

Why Blocking Can Be Healthy and Safe

  • Emotional Safety: Blocking can provide emotional distance necessary for healing, especially in high-conflict situations.
  • Reducing Stress: It eliminates the stress of unexpected, potentially upsetting communications.
  • Focus on Healing: It allows you to focus on your well-being without constant reminders of a difficult past relationship.

The Role of BestInterest

  • BestInterest’s AI: The app uses AI to filter communication, ensuring it remains businesslike and child-focused.
  • Emergency Situations: One of the key features of BestInterest is its ability to discern true emergencies. You can block your ex but still be informed if there’s an actual emergency concerning your children.
  • Peace of Mind: This feature provides peace of mind, knowing that while you have blocked direct communication for your well-being, you won’t miss out on critical emergency information.

Important Considerations

  • Not Using BestInterest: If you’re not using BestInterest, be cautious about blocking, as you might miss important messages.
  • Alternative Communication: Ensure there’s an alternative method of communication for necessary coparenting interactions.
