We've been broken up for about 5 months but we haven't seen eachother since everyone at work told me he turned into a manwhore, i didn't believe it until i witnessed it today, he was touching girls butts and flirting with them and hugging all over all of them and acting like he was all that, when i first met him he was shy and sweet now he's an asshole..

Some guys have to do that in order to soothe a hurt self-esteem. I've never experienced it personally but I've seen it happen A LOT seeing as I have brothers and a chit ton of cousins + I had more dudes in my life than any teenage girl should ever have. -_- There are a lot of guys who won't deal with the emotional pain and disappointment immediately. Instead, they'll try to burry their sorrows in some other woman's titties. It's a product of the whole 'fake it till you make it' theory.

Love is a drug. When you go into withdrawal, you can do some fucked up things. I think he's trying to avoid how he feels, whether that feeling may be "I dun fucked up, now she's gone :'(" or "I'm gonna show that biatch.. ha ha." But either way, he's not really being real with himself.. but don't worry, he's gonna crack at some point.

I know because I went through a phase like that after a bad breakup.

Because he lost a beautiful girl so now he's trying to make you jealous by acting this way. He's irrelevant.

I think he wants an ego rush, so he can feel better about losing U.

Bitterness. He is masking his anger and pain by acting in the extreme opposite way to convince everyone that he is fine with the break up and he has moved on. Unfortunately, some people are immature and they immediately forget that they used to love that person and start acting like jerks to make them feel jealous, insecure, or angry. He is clearly succeeding at this, but you should just act maturely and ignore his actions and try to move on.

MHO right here.

That breakup must have been quite a blow to him. Either that or he's always been that way. There are only two real methods to induce drastic personality shifts, serious emotional trauma and brain damage. Now that I think about it they go hand in hand.

One word... Freedom!

Sometimes guys have to fill the void with meaningless flirting and one night stands after a break-up.

It is like healing a wound with other women. It is pretty petty but it is how some men deal with the sorrow.

Sadly being nice gets you nowhere , trust me i know, turning into a little shit, a nice little shit to be more exact gets you the girl

[swampfawkes]

Sounds like you ruined him lol or he came to some conclusions and realizations about women that made him treat them differently because of you

He learnt being sweet and respectful gets you no-where with women,
And he has learnt how to play the game

[ArchDruidMordred]

I'm guilty of that. My ex broke up with me and for a few days I just didn't give a shit about ANYTHING.

Dammmm you really hurt him or he fucked up big time.

[SarahsSummer]

He's bitter and is acting out immaturely.

[Dream2winxx]

Maybe he's just trying to make you mad

[xXiTacoXx]

Because he chose bitter as his favorite flavor.

[bubbletrouble]
