Why?

I'm so frustrated with my ex-boyfriend, I just don't get it. Things didn't work out between us because he cheated on me. It's been a couple of years since the break up, and we don't even talk anymore YET he still runs his mouth about me. Why not just let it go? I don't understand it. Has this happened to any of you? When you're dating someone, you are their world and then you break up, they treat you like the dirt they walk on!

Hello Kangel, It sounds to me like still wants to be with you, or else you would just be a distant memory yet he still talks about you. If your friends are still his friends then maybe one of you may think about having different friends or at least tell your friends that you dont want to hear about what he says. I have never had this problem but I have never been with someone that close to my friends. I hope he eventually finds someone else but as long as he's talking about you, he's chasing all of the other girls away(nobody wants to hear about ex's on the first few dates, at least I dont). Hugs, Tianna

lol. I hear ya there, I wouldn't want to hear about an ex on the first few dates or ever really. Although, I do think that he might be upset about the fact that I got married so he knows that there will never be a second chance. He's a distant memory for me.

well I am very sorry for what you are going through. It is bad enough when we are in love with another person, and then it does not work out, especially when the other person has betrayed us by cheating on us with someone else. This just cuts like a knife.I know I have been cheated on too.But when I break up with a man, I no longer have any contact with them anymore, so I rarly ever hear anything that they say about me, I am sure they talk, but I do not know about it.This man you were with needs to get a life and leave you alone. Maybe he wants you back!

I don't know what it is he really wants. He knows that I'm happily married, and he just had another baby with someone else. He shouldn't be worried about what I'm doing. We have some of the same friends, that's the only reason why I hear about what he is saying about me. I believe he tells them things because he knows it will get back at me.

I think they want to distance themselves from you. They also want to elevate themselves by critcizing you. I think the best revenge is to get a new boyfriend and have him tell the other one to shut his mouth.

Yes, this has happened to me. I had a boyfriend once who worked at the same place as me. After we broke up, he would not talk to me, yet he carried my picture with him and constantly showed it to people. He went on a date with another girl at our work, about 6 months after we broke up, she told me all he talked about the whole time was me. I was afraid to ask her what he was saying. This was not the first person who told me that he was showing my picture around, it was a bit uncomfortable.
