Who do some exes still think their ex partner is still obligated to put up with their shit?

[Anonymous]

excuse me. Your ex is your ex. They send your boyfriend or girlfriend, fiancé, wife, husband, etc anymore. They aren’t any longer obligated to put up with your shit anymore.

Okay, with husbands and wives divorcing. I understand things can get messy or if someone has kids with someone.

But otherwise. I don’t take shit from any of my exes (some exes are cool if we ended on good terms maybe not compatible or someone moved or lost internet and we decided to end on good terms)

But don’t take shit from exes. You don’t have to put up with their shit anymore. But why do some think you’re still obligated to? Assuming you were not married and don’t have kids.

I ask the same thing. I think there’s different reasoning and I really do think people are addicted to toxic love because toxic love keeps things interesting to some people.

I think you’re onto something. Normal people though just have to put boundaries up and say. I don’t have to deal with you anymore.

You’re not my girlfriend or boyfriend. I don’t have to deal with your shit anymore. I have my own shit. I have other people to deal with. Bye

@asker the issue is , is most people aren’t what you call “normal” . A lot of people have suffered from childhood trauma and such and unfortunately the traumas they have endured bleed into their adulthood life and affect them majorly. Love is honestly one of the worst things to invest yourself into when you haven’t fully learned yourself and I think personally everyone should go to therapy before investing into a partner and such. If more people went to therapy, people would have better results with love

[Asker]

Yeah I see what you’re saying.

What my point was. Is that some people think that once you have broke up with them. They still think you’re obligated to put up with their shit.

In some situations such a divorce or if kids are involved. Might be a different story.

But other then that. I won’t put up with someone’s shit after I’m broke up. If we ended on good terms and still like one another. Then sure. We can talk.

But if someone thinks I will put up with bullshit. They find themselves blocked on everything. It’s never gotten to the point where I needed to get a restraining order. But some people do find themselves in those situations.

[Asker]

But you said that you say the same thing I do.

[Asker]

When I say normal people. I just mean…. People who who don’t do that stuff.

But. Yeah some people have deep psychological issues I think and can’t handle a break up maybe.

[kylee2437]

@asker I almost had to put a restraining order on an ex because after I broke up with him (he thought I’d never do) he started harassing me and making posts about me after our relationship ended

[Asker]

Yeah. People like that just feel entitled to another person. When they are in fact not.

[kylee2437]

@asker it was abuse and the problem with abusers is they think they own you, so even if you break up with them, they feel like they are still entitled to you

[kylee2437]

@asker it came down to the point where he made me not have social media in the relationship and then thought me redownloading it after the break up was a form of betrayal

[Asker]

Yes that is true

[Asker]

Yeah sorry about that. Some people are just shitty.

The fact is. People harass people. Because they also have probably gotten away with it before. They probably got the reaction they wanted.

Eventually they fuck with the wrong people and find out. Hopefully you were that case with him.

But who knows.

[Guy13]

Cause they are not right and have never suffered consequence from such behavior

[Asker]

This is true. Many people aren’t held accountable for a while. But it catches up with them eventually.

Unless I’m with someone or something like going through a divorce or have kids with someone. Is the only reason why I would be obligated to deal with their bullshit.

Otherwise. They can fuck on with their lives.
