Why does he behave like this?

Hello. My partner left me recently. He had several broken relationships behind him but I thought I would be the one to end all that because we had known each other for many years and had wanted to be together. We had a relationship for some time when we were younger but I had some problems that I couldn't cope with and I ended the relationship. When we finally had a second chance we jumped at it. Now he has someone else. I fee like I want their relationship to fail - not out of nastiness, but because I want to know that it wasn't just me. It wasn't just that I wasn't good enough. I don't want to be the last failure and then him get married and live happily ever after. What I really would like to ask though, is why, when he left me, does he speak to me like he can't stand me? I have been really kind and friendly, no threats, I've kept my dignity. Communication by telephone - about mortgage matters, nothing more - makes me feel like he can't stand me. I feel discarded. I feel like I heard my on heart break in two :'(

Sorry you're feeling so sad lovely. He really doesnt sound like a very nice person. It's always hard wondering if the next woman will get the best of them... But I doubt there is a best to get from him if he can treat people like that. I know it's hard now but focus on you and love yourself more, sounds like you're well rid!! Nasty bastard xx

Why does he talk to you like shit?

Guilt projection

Its awful to realise that your relationship wasnt the 'special one'. Hes treating you like he treated all his other women, because he is broken inside, and cannot behave like a normal person in a relationship.

So sorry - hes being horrible because he feels so guilty. It hurts i know but you will feel better. Be kind to yourself and do things that make you feel good.
