 It could be because your ex found out somehow that after 6 years you are still sort of sniffing around him on line, and that freaked him out , and he does not want any of that.
Or, his wife found out and asked him to block you. Not necessarily out of jealousy; there are couples who mutually agree to weed out exes from each other's social media, and life in general. Particularly when you do not ever move in the same social circles anymore .
Or, he's just lazy and , instead of " cleaning up " his soc ial media regularly , every few months, from all the people he does not need / want to talk to anymore, he gets around to do that once in 5 or 6 years. I understand that, I do the same.
They seem all logical, valid reasons to me , not particularly mysterious. If you want to read something more obscure into it, feel free but…. 6 years ? really, I think by now you could and should leave your ex in teh past where he belongs and focus your thoughts on the future.

 You have not even spoken in 6 years. He is married to someone else. Why are you even still in any sort of "social" contact?
Move on and leave him to his new life.

He kept getting you as a suggested friend, and since he has no intention of adding you, he blocked you to keep you from showing up again. 2.) His wife asked him to block you. You mentioned she “liked” one of your pictures, so that means at some point she was looking through your profile and pictures. She may have gotten insecure if she thinks you’re better looking than her or more accomplished than her in some other way. 3.) He caught himself looking up your profile too much, so he blocked you in an effort to discourage himself. 4.) He had the feeling you were looking through his profile, and doesn’t want you to be able to access it again. He may have gotten this idea if he suddenly started getting you as a suggested friend out of nowhere. I think one of these is most likely given the circumstances, but the reasons to block someone are endless. No one will be able to tell you for sure why he did. For me personally, I don’t block someone out of the blue, especially if they weren’t my friend on social media to start with. I only block people if they’re being really annoying, like messaging me every time I log in, or constantly posting politics and criticizing everyone with a different opinion or set of values. It does seem odd he would randomly block you, but I’m sure he had a reason. Are you over him?

Perhaps he wrote DC, and that's what we suggested he should do. Maybe it just suddenly dawned on him to finally do it; because his wife was getting creeped-out. You do know what stalking is...right? It's when you get unwanted surveillance and tracking from someone you no longer wish to be with, or be contacted by.
When you no longer want anything to do with an ex; blocking them on social media is an EX-cellent thing to do!
You close the blinds, pull-down the shades, close the shutters, and move on with your life!
Time to time, I remove people from my phone and social media contacts that I no longer spend any time with; or have no interest in what they're doing.
Some fall on my list of undesirables; so they must be blocked. Surely you've done the same?
When you're married, and some woman from your past is ominously spying on you; and basically trying to make herself a pest. Blocking her on social media is the logical thing to do. I'm citing that as an example, not implying that to be the case here.
What's-it to ya?
He's married, and his personal-life and activities are irrelevant. Blocking you has sent the clear message he doesn't want or need you in his life. You are not a desired contact. So what do you care?
Find yourself a hot-boyfriend who wants you to keep track of his online activities and posts. Someone who wants you as a contact, and appreciates knowing you're keeping an eye on him. Maybe you need someone to keep an eye on you?

 Does it matter?
Surely you’ve got better things to be thinking about with your time.

 Why care?
He is an ex from 6 years ago, he is obviously married too, so really... WHY care?
Some times people like to "clean the clutter". In real life and on their social media. Like removing people they don't talk to anymore or blocking people they don't want snooping in their life.
Does it seem a bit much? Maybe. But that is his "right" to do as HE pleases with HIS social media.
I just don't get why you feel a need to analyse what some ex from WAY back when is doing. Who cares?
Move on. Let the guy go and stop snooping around in his social media. And don't make your friends do it either for your entertainment. You two broke up, it's over and done with, he moved on and married someone else. He obviously don't want to give you access to his social media nor does he want you in his life.
