If someone said;
"I could find someone much better than you but I don't want them I want you" how would you take that? 3 kids under 4 together.

You should say "I could find someone much better than you too"...and don't have any more kids with him while you do.

Sounds like deliberate negging in order for you to be oh so grateful Hmm that this person is lowering their standards in order to be with you.

Thank you both so much for replying. It sounds so petty but I've just had enough of him. I left him months ago but he is constantly handling me and saying little things like this and he is convinced hes being nice but I feel like he is just trying to bring me down and basically, exactly what you said WhiteVixen. I'm just so tired. I just want to concentrate on my babies but it feels so impossible at times.

Twatty thing to say... So why doesn't he want that fictional better person if indeed they are so much better? Could it be because he knows that no one else will tolerate his bullshit, so he needs to make sure you know you're not worth much, otherwise you'd leave him too? Which I see you have already... Well done, I'd say keep it that way if the rest of his behaviour matches that sentence...
