Why do some people dump their significant other and then get upset when he/she moves on?

[Anonymous]

You’re the one that dumped your boyfriend or girlfriend. You sit there hoping they’re going to come running back and change and beg you for another chance.

But they’re gone…. They found someone else. While you’re sitting there thinking that they’re sitting crying in a corner.

Really they’re releasing a sigh of relief happy that it’s over. Sure they might cry some. Breakups suck.

But many times people can’t figure out that it’s also then whose been the problem. Always nagging. Never happy with anything. Trying to change who someone is and mold them into being their soul mate. The list goes on. Always starting fights and blaming everything on them.

No wonder they moved on. Don’t be angry when you dumped him/her…..

This is karma for people who breakup for the wrong reasons. They are selfish and only thinking about their happiness over others, they probably said they loved.

And this is a real good outcome, because selfish people need to suffer by their own hand, when they did all they did to only get what they wanted, at the expense of others.

Yup…

People are strange how they do not want you when they have you. Then when we leave start wanting us until they start hating us as we naturally outshine them. Smile about it and move on in your successes is the best way to handle them.

Probably because the dumper thought they were better than the person they dumped and thought they’d never move on. Also shows a sign of insecurity and perhaps didn’t want to end the relationship but did it to check if their partner did like them. Alas it backfires

[Asker]

Yeah for sure. Lol. Prettt Narcissistic way of thinking

[KathrynTaylor]

It’s silly isn’t it? They expect the wrong things for love and realise too late that they blew it with a good opportunity or can’t find anyone better, as they’re less of a catch to others than they thought.

[Asker]

Yeah exactly thanks

[KathrynTaylor]

You’re welcome. It’s happened to me too

I dumped a grl after beng together for two years because I thougt she wasn't committed to a relationshp with me. When she moved on, it confirmed my perceptions. What was I suppose to do: celebrate?

[Anonymous]

Because no matter how upset you are you are still reminded of the parts of the relationship when it worked. And that hurts.

[Asker]

That’s true I suppose. But I don’t know why some people (men and women) act like after they’re the one who dumped someone.

They’re the bad person for moving on. If they thought they would cry and regret it and miss them forever. Maybe they wanted them to come back and beg for another chance.

But. You’re right. Breakups always hurt. It’s also hard to see someone move on without you as well. But hey. It is what it is.

Hmm I feel like often the dumpers unintentionally want to see the other person crying for them and want the dumpee to beg for them to come back.

[Shamalien]

Wow that’s messed

[stoicity]

Because we are all alone in our minds with egocentrical thoughts. The chase of always seeking better does have a toll and often times than not we loose track of ourselves and people we let go off from our lives.

The sane thing that prevents people from loving others. Arrogance and vanity.

[Asker]

Yeah you’re probably right

[Opinion Owner]

Same* not sane

[Sixgunsound]

Because they need to level up in life.

[CoolCatMar1]

Because people's egos are fragile

[boobliker]

Stupidity is the only thing that comes to mind

That is mostly a male thing.
