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

You didn’t want the man? But slept with anyway? And not annoyed your ex didn’t want the women and slept with them anyway

This. Why was it ok for you to sleep with someone you didn't like but not ok for him to do it. How odd

Is this what you want your life to be like OP, thriving on stupid drama? This relationship is dead. Unless you want your life to be a cycle of this crap end it once and for all and be by yourself for a bit before taking on another bloke.

Op you really don't have a leg to stand on in the debate. You were both not together. Regardless of what he has said to you your can't blame him.

You slept woth someone as wanted the attention which you got but you don't want the man. Your ex wanted the same and doesn't want them women.

I don't think your relationship will ever work if you nothing just sleep around to be wanted. It's tit for tat.

It’s goose / gander shit this, if you wanna be together, be together and if not don’t.

”Why are men like this” is a dodgy assertion when your behaviour (shagging yourself up a nice bit of validation) equally does not represent the behaviour of all women.

You're both childish as f 😂 move on. Grow up.

Nobody cheated. We weren't together when we did what we did

Exactly! So what’s the issue?

Then there's no issue?? Confused
