Entitled, tone deaf men... What's the worst behaviour you've witnessed from them ?

I'm interested as I'm shocked at how entitled my ex partner is trying g to ' win me back'

This guy... in his 50's I might add is one of life's takers.
Many on here would call him a manbaby, defining their partners by acts of service bestowed on them ...
He was unwell. I cared for him in my home at my expense.
He lost his job. I supplemented him, minimally with food and a weekend place to stay... but still.
No house of his own... see above with expectations of staying longer despite having a no partner when kids at home rule .

Pushing boundaries left right and centre.

Then I got acutely sick. He got pissed off and reluctantly ran a few errands. Fucked off until I was better ...or until I was able to tend to his every need again more like.

So I dumped him.
Never felt relief like it.
So relaxed and happy at home with my kids, full time.

Curiously, I immediately gave up my nightly wine habit and junk habit and started eating and sleeping so much better ... A link there perhaps? -

So it transpires that he's been on tinder literally since we broke up. Months ago.That did shock me to be fair.

I had no idea until I was told recently . I Said nothing as we had no contact until he started texting again saying how much he loved and missed me and realised over the last few months what a fool he'd been..

So this guy and I were together for nearly three years ... had gone through hell with his illnesses and unemployment and lack of appropriate housing . I minded him and supported him.

And then this ??? Tinder.. fishing around for another bite to house him maybe???

And then comes back running because it's too much hard work and he thinks that fool here will accept this??? And tells me this 😳
Mind is blown.
He is tormenting me with messages of promises and future faking and such utter bull shot, I'm cringing for him.
I've asked him to stop once.
He ignored me and send them every few hours now.
Im deleting ad they come in .
Have you experienced anything like this or is he just thick ?

No house of his own.

You shouldn't have got involved with him in the first place if he didn't have a home of his own back then too.

And yes, of course he's out instantly looking for a new host, mammy etc.

Maybe time to block him on all avenues of communication.

Do you really owe him politeness?

Anyway - takers gonna take. Fakers gonna fake, chancers gonna chance.

"Fuck off, you loser" and then block him.

Don't open the messages but don't delete them. Have them saved automatically to a separate file. They are evidence of harassment. You just need to send one message back " I do not wish to hear from you ever again. Any further contact with me or about me to my friends and family on any channel will be taken to the police as evidence of harassment. Goodbye"
Then if he does keep going; follow through on your promise.

Block him.
He wants somewhere to stay.
