Things men say about their ex's from their view which actually isn't the full story

[Rosewaterblossom]

Hello,

I thought I'd start a thread which potentially de-codes the things some men say about their ex partners to new dates which the man probably believes (or has deluded himself to believe) that aren't actually the true story.

An example for the thread:

My ex used to speak to me like dirt and always nagged me. She wasn't like that in the beginning = I turned into a lazy bastard and she constantly nagged because I was a lazy bastard and she got fed up of having a manchild in the house.

I'm sure there's the classic "crazy ex" lines but it would be interesting to hear people's thoughts and input.

🙂

I take it all with a huge vat of salt. But really I won't tolerate a guy badmouthing his exes to me. It's such a huge flag, particularly in the early stages.
