Why would my ex say something like this?

[Anonymous]

She said that sometimes she doesn’t understand why I accept her.

We just started talking again after she had a rough rebound relationship. And a bit of a mental health decline, but I’m still there for her and supporting her how ever I can.

I wonder, could it be her trying to accept that I still like her enough for a relationship? Especially since she let it slip that she misses me when she was drunk and accidentally called me babe. But also says she ain’t in a position for a relationship following the rebound

I think the fact that she is so open about her rebound is interesting, she would likely expect you to be hurt and jealous by this and not be interested in dating her anymore. The thing is if she can already move onto other people, you should find someone who really wants to be with you and only you, and would never leave you and date someone else.

Eh, she hates the rebound, so a lot of that openness is her just venting about how shit he was to her. I mean he neglected her needs and made her hate him. And she did admit she came to me for support earlier on when they were still together, emotionally cheating on him.

So I really doubt it that. Especially since during out relationship she’d ask me similar. And she does have pretty shitty self-esteem and undiagnosed mental health problems (bpd and/or cptsd mainly) and her “friends” pushed her to leave me earlier on.(some of those same friends then disrespected her greatly, causing her to cut them off)

So while yes, it’s a bit weird, I think it’s more so stemming from her issues and not her not wanting me.
