I finally blocked the number

I did it... I finally blocked my N's number... at the urging of my best friend. He kept sending me messages of random pictures and other things about him. I sent him a picture message yesterday (yes, stupid I know) and said that I hope he was well and I was thinking about him and the last time I saw him (it was a long distance relationship). He said something obvious about the picture... I asked him if he read the rest of the message. He said that it wasn't his focus. He was glad that I wished him well and he wished me well too.. I asked him if we could talk and if he would like to hear about changes in my life. His response was that "Change is constant... all we have is day to day..." No yes or no answer.... so I didn't answer. An hour later I got a picture that referred to the "Walking Dead" midseason premiere tomorrow....
He never cared about my feelings. When I had something to say, it was not important. He wanted things done his way or not at all.... He was always so "macho." Taking the wheel when I was driving because he did not like the way I drove. Telling me how to do things... He would have suffocated me -- literally and figuratively. I would not be able to freely express myself. I fell in love with someone who I thought was respectful, kind, caring, and wanted to have good communication. He was those things in the beginning and when we were apart. But, when I was near him (in his location, or him in mine), the "real" him came out. As I learned, this persona he had initially was not real, but the "hook." I finally stood my ground and he could not respect me... He kept trying to hook me back with this caring person, but it would be pretending that nothing was wrong.

I am just convincing myself that finally blocking the number is the right thing to do. Otherwise, he would wait a few more days and message me again like nothing was wrong. Hopefully I can have peace now to get myself through the mental and physical abuse he put me through.... Please reassure me that I did do the right thing and that I will get through this...
