Why would someone dump you and then act like jerk?

A friend and I were discussing old relationships and I remembered on particular guy that I dated. He broke up with me because he wanted to start doing some things that I did not. After that every time he saw me he would insult me and make up lies. A few years later he happened to show up at the a restaurant and made a few rude comments. I made sure to he got a really good look at the big, fat engagement ring because I wanted him to get the message that I was not the least bit worried about him. It made me wonder though if he cared so little why he acted that way. He dumped me. Not the other way around so I feel like he had no right at all to have such behavior. Why do you think a person would do that?

Well the act of dumping you is a sign of jerk behavior, even though yes people can have amicable breakups. This is the reason why after a break up, I don't really like to have any contact with the guy. Friends? No thanks try facebook im over your friendship. :-)

sounds to me like one very big very long sulk. he probably started sulking when you wouldn't do the things he wanted to do, and just never gave up. some people stay children forever, just be glad he ended it and saved you the trouble.

For me yes because they are jealous about your life you can't stop it it is here doing but Satan is the main support by them.

Well, obviously, he is a jerk, based on his behavior. Forget him and do not mind what he says when you meet him the next time. He is not worthy of any woman's attention if he behaves that way.

Hi cupkitties! We are on the same boat. I have experienced a relationship like this. Regarding that particular person, he just needs attention to add boost in his over-egocentrism. I think he must be filled with grudges and wants to make your life miserable just for the sake of revenge- to the point that he wants to run for cover just to show how happy/unaffected he is. I suggest that you'd rather stay away from this person because the way he acts sounds immature, and there might be a tendency that people who act like that develop a habit of stalking and bullying.(whether personal or online)

If were you I will try to stay away from him as much as I could and ignore him or never talk to him at all.. because his not worth my attention.. and theres no way I will use my time throwing fake smiles to him.. He is just bitter.. because maybe nothing happens in all the efforts he invested in your relationship... if he will not change his character.. theres no way I will let him go near to me..

He probably still wanted you after he left you. You said he wanted to do things that you didn't, he might be mad cuz he was selfish in that he wanted other things in life. He might be mad at himself for leaving you but knows he cannot have you back, so he takes his frustration out by being mean to you. Just my guess but I did have an x who was still in love with me for years(i didn't know he was until later) but he was so mean and even told my current b/f that I had an std. Which I don't,never did, but he was horrible and tried to make me miserable. So I know what its like. But I wouldn't let him get to you, just concentrate on your new man and how wonderful he is and the bad your x does to you won't matter.
