I broke up with him and he said idgaf? Why?

[WinCx3d]

I broke up with my boyfriend this morning his response was “okay bye i don’t give a fuck”


Why did he act like that

[t-8900]

I've never talked like that during a break up. Sometimes though I leave you a 6 paragraph message as to why I broke if off because I hope it's taken into cons for the next person the girl dates. Like I'll see what she says. Sometimes we'll get back together at a later time when weve had time to process each other's perspectives and other times not. For me I'm never trying to hurt a girl, e en when she's d me dirty. I hope somehow, someway they wake up and change their ways. Sometimes it workd, sometimes it does. All comes down to how much they respected and or loved me. I'd they just read it, skimmed it, or sat down to think about it and change. If I care about you I try to keep my composure because like what he did there only has the potential to spread pain and doubt. And I'd you are self that's one route a person might take. But I hope and pray that if/when you try to do good in the he world that maybe, just maybe one day that kindness comes back full circle for you. Im sorry it didn't work out but by all the posts I'd say he was a bad match for you tbh. I just broke up yesterday morning. It's never fun but I did message her this morning wishing her a great day. I'm hurting and I know she is too. The last thing I want is to cause anyone pain. But I was hurting too much as it was. She'd have to reform and I don't think she's interested. I can only hope she finds her happiness.

[OlderAndWiser]

He reacted wth anger because that is many guys' best defense against showing that they are actually hurt. He doesn't want to "give you power" over him by letting you know that you hurt him.

[Walamagicc]

This is very true

[Apulu_3]

You did a good thing about breaking up with him. From all the questions you gave it became like a toxic story and I am not surprised it ended like that. It could also happen that he doesn't want to be weak in front of you or really didn't gave a shit about you.

[Cherry234]

Wow what a reaction. He either didn't care about the relationship (or he doesn't care enough to take you back) or he's just really upset and hiding how he really feels. I'm sorry this happened to you

[anylolone]

Yes, he should stalk her and force her to be with him, lol!

[Keyboardkat]

What did you want him to say? Did you want him to fall all over himself, begging you not to leave him, swearing to be better, weeping like an overflowing bathtub? Is this some kind of game you're playing?
If you initiated the breakup, then one would expect that you don't give a ______ either. So why does it matter to you if he said that? Unless his attitude is making you have second thoughts about breaking up with him!

[WinCx3d]

No I’m okay with breaking up

[Sjjsjs]

Cos girls love to do that to guys, they love it and have passion in their heart to see the guy upset and sad, it excites them.. it's like girls wait there whole life to dump a guy to feel like she's some superior god.. and he can probably tell that's the reason you wanted to dump him... And he said he don't give a fuck so you don't get that great satisfaction and feeling of superiority that you wanted.. now it makes you feel miserable and unsatisfied with your dumping of him, hence you asking this question.. him not caring really got to you... Well... maybe you shouldn't have tried to hurt some guys feelings.. now you are alone and with no success of satisfying your evil desires... Must suck to be you

[Sjjsjs]

You got nothing out of it hey... If you really wanted to dump him jus to leave him you wouldn't care that he doesn't care.. but you asking this question tells me you wanted to dump him to try and upset him

[Wraith_Cemetery]

Why should he give a shite? You broke it off. Probably broke it off because of all the girls and guys on here telling you to do it. You seem to really care about people's opinions rather than your own thoughts. You're like a baby sheep. You literally ask questions about your relationship on this site every bloody week.

[ohshee]

It's kind of like a form of manipulation he's trying to make you feel bad for breaking up with him it's all your fault everything that happens it's your fault LOL don't worry about it you guys will be back together in no time but each time this happens he gets his foot in the door further and further I see a lot of games being played in your guys's relationship but if that's what you guys are into it and that's okay

[bsann2015]

There's a possibility that he was just mad and blew up and said things he didn't mean.
There's also the possibility that his feelings were hurt and he lashed out.
Or maybe he really doesn't care.
Sometimes relationships work sometimes they don't

[TangBang69]

Either he was just trying to be macho and hide his feelings or he simply just dgaf to say he didn't actually like you as much as he let on and/or was using you for sex or however he may have benefited from the relationship. It's hard to say but most time guys won't show it if the truth is that it broke his heart. At the same time , if that is the case, it seems like more effort to save the relationship would be made.

[Finchie40]

Cuz his ego was shot down , when people break up most people can’t admit that they were the reason the break up occurred , so by him saying IDGAF is his way of saying he will be fine with out you , it’s a immature behavior that most people have that see no wrong in themselves

[Oigit]

He was probably hurt by the breakup and took a cheap shot to hurt you. I would do my best to cut off contact with him. Simply because there is a good chance that won't be the only cheap shot he takes. Don't need to leave yourself open for him pulling that again.

[DonkeyDan]

He didn't want to let you know that he was bothered by it, either that or he really didn't care. Either way he's a dick for that and not trying to fight for you. If he actually cared he would have at least said something to try and make you change your mind.

[Fireguy17]

most likely to be mean towards you because you broke up with him, so now you hold the power, so he just did a knee jerk reaction to the moment.
Or he truly didn't care that you will no longer be together, so that only affirms that you decision to break up with him was the right thing to do.
Either way a win win for you.
Time to move on to someone who will treat you like you deserve to be treated.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

I mean what had you expected 🤷🤦 you broke up with him it totality is the fair and expected reaction.

I am curious to know what other kind of response you expected

It's like Newton's third law every action has equal and opposite reaction

[Daniela1982]

If you break up with someone what do you expect them to say?

Oh goody, she broke up with me!

[Sofargone93]

You don't care about me.. i don't care about you. If we're past the point of talking either it's you or me who has to change to make it work... sometimes both. Idgaf means exactly what he said. Don't be shocked when you get the same energy you give.

[Sualina]

I like this ^^

[YesICan]

Two options: He either got butt-hurt about it and doesn't know how to handle it or he really just doesn't give a fuck about you. I'm pretty sure that it's the second one, cause it doesn't appear like he's butthurt. (It's still a possibility)

Why do you care tho? Like why asking this question, it's almost as if you expected him to cry or beg for you to say, and now that it didn't go your way you're getting insecure.

[Anonymous]

Most women just aren't worth fighting for. You wanna go? Bye. Besides, I've had women try to use that "I'm gonna break up with him to freak him out and gain more control over him" manipulation on me before. We get back together, and she acts even more toxic. Better to just let go and find someone else

[FinalFantasyBro]

Your ex-boyfriend is either lying about not caring and he is actually depressed inside or he literally didn't care and probably thinking " well that relationship has sealed it time to find another girl to love."

[JCrockett]

Why would you care?

If your breakup was honest, then you don't care about him and shouldn't care about whether he cares about you. If your breakup was dishonest, then he should not care about you and break up with you anyways.

[Jlegacy]

That's human nature. We like to act defiant when defensive and say we don't need you.

It is not perfect but it is a common response.

You must have hurt him for him to do that. Or he must have hurt you and chose to be unrepentant.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Oh Shit, That Sucks!

[jshm2]

Because he really was on his last straw with you? It's not rocket science, you must really have been an annoying bitch for him to burst like that.

[WinCx3d]

I told him i was tired of him asking for money and him not being responsible and him not really putting in an effort and after i said that i broke it off

[Lynx122]

Either he's hurt and he's hiding it or he really didn't give a fuck. But it shouldn't be your concern since you dumped him.

[whirled_up_girl]

People often say things like that when they are hurting.

[DaveJord]

Probably, because he wasn't all that into you, but insulted at the same time. I guess he wanted you to be more into him, than he was into you. Don't try to rationalize it or react to it.

[hahahmm]

Either you really wanted to break up or you didn't and you're just playing games. That's a bad game to play on a man. It'll always backfire.

[MsTaniaUncensored]

Obviously, he is upset and it isn't uncommon for people to express themselves in a hurtful manner to protect themselves

[EmbraceThePain]

Maybe he doesn’t want to show you that it affected him negatively


Or


He truly doesn’t care that you broke up with him.

[Teaku94]

Unless that break-up move was just to get his attention, who cares about his reaction! You both already broke up. No reason to dwell on the past.

[Ghostlock]

It was pretty clear he didn't give a damn long before you broke up with him. His response just proves to you that he didn't care and that it was long overdue time for you to move on.

[Screenwriter]

Umm, girlfriend, because he does not care.

Best to move on. He sounds like a nasty piece of work.

[MotorcycleMan]

Likely because you hurt his feelings and he doesn't want you to know that or wanted to hurt you back.

[Lionman95]

Because he does not wanna show you how he feels.
He might also have expected you breaking up with you.

[CrazyGirl2]

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that he didn’t give a fück about you… personally I’m shocked 😳

[Shotia322]

What should he have done? Cried and begged you to not leave him?

[Voodoo69]

If you gave up on the relationship then why should he GAF? If he was a POS then yes you made the correct decision

[spartan55]

Because he didn't. Please try to choose a better boyfriend this week.

[exitseven]

I might have done the same thing. I would not give you the satisfaction in thinking that you really mattered to me.

[Walamagicc]

It doesn’t matter why he said that unless you’re trying to get back with him. He obviously is hurt bc you rejected him

[Subarugirl]

Men will often react to being hurt by being angry. Partially in self defense, partially because it gives them more power over the situation rather than being vulnerable.

[Andres77]

I'm sorry it ended and that it ended like that but if that's how he would treat you then in the long run you dodged a bullet.
Good riddance.
You'll find better.

[Anon621]

It probably means he didn't care that much about you

[fonduegirl]

Either really didn't care or was on the verge of breaking down but due to fear of vulnerability, he toughened it up.

[Rjc36]

Most of the time a guy will act that way to cover up how upset he is. A way of trying to act like he doesn't care.

[Rob70]

He was most likely just trying to upset you. Give it a day and see what he says

[TheorionMage]

Either he GENUINELY didn't care OR his hubris and male pride is stinging~ ;'(

[NathanDavis]

because he doesn't really give an F... is this the same guy from four months ago?

[Anonymous]

The mountain of notifications about your boyfriend from him asking if you’re pregnant, his response to date night, and this. Just be happy you left that clown!

[humanearth]

He didn't care for you, at least you broke it off before you invested too much time

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Some people react differently when my girlfriend broke up with me I cried but we all heal

[loveslongnails]

He acted like that because... wait for it... he didn't give a fuck !! He was in it for the sex. Did this one last 6 weeks?

[pleasestopthis]

That's a way to vent his anger. Don't expect him to beg and cry.

[FilmGuy93]

Sounds like he's tired of fighting with you and is relieved the relationship is over.

[FunkyMonkee]

He's an asshole that doesn't give a fuck! Unless YOU did something to severely piss him off!!

[DaveToo]

The male ego was kicking in. No one likes to be the one kicked aside.

[ChiPaPa]

Why? Because you broke up with him. What did you expect? Him to cry?

[Jamie05rhs]

She's back with him now, apparently. Either that or she's full of shit.

[WinCx3d]

I’m not back with him i just apologized

[Jamie05rhs]

Oh, ok.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Well sounds like he wasn't too pleased. When people are confronted with such news the often say things they usually dont mean.

[darkcloud1945]

We have only part of the story not enough to form a valid opinion , Need all the info both sides.

[Slayerrrrrrr]

He'd give at least 3 fucks if he found out we hooked up, shit would be epic😏

[Massageman]

Deflecting the sad truth (for him) with a facade of uncaring, fake, nonchalance.

[Pete671]

He's insecure about being rejected and is pretending not to care, he sounds rather immature imho,,,
