Why do men do this?

Broke up with DP a few months ago. Been talking pretty much daily, mostly arguing but he made it clear he wants to be back together

I slept with someone and I told him when he asked.

He then slept with other women and did stuff with some too.

Says he did it cos he was drunk; missing me and to distract himself from the hurt. Says he didn't like the women or find them attractive, he just basically used them. Denies even wanting sex with them but that's gotta be bs if he kept doing it. :says he wanted to feel wanted.

Which gives me the ick

Why do men do this? Why not just talk it out with me?

AIBU: you're naive, he wanted them not you
YNBU: men are shit

This is a very ill informed perspective I offer here, but I suggest you two do not get back together. It does not sound like it would be a good idea.

Why do you care what he's doing?

You're not together any more - why do you think he's being a shit for behaving as a single man when he is one?

Couldn't be bothered with the drama, you both sound immature.

Your not in a relationship so you both can sleep with who you want providing it's consensual.stop worrying about what each other is doing and move on.

I don't think you two should get back together.

So when you do it, it’s ok but when he does it that’s bad ?
