Why does my ex come back when he says he wanted to date someone more popular and successful?

[Anonymous]

About me: I'm 29 I have my own apartment in the city and working in marketing. I've travelled solo all around the world when I was a student.

I was seeing this guy who is also 29 for a few years long distance and even asked me to live with him. But he seemed so difficult to please and always had something to complain about me about my appearance. I'm in shape look after myself and was a form track and field athlete. But he would dump me off everytime a girl would give him attention

He’s keeping you around as a stable option well seeking better alternatives elsewhere. Every time he gets shot down and comes crawling back to you it’s an admission of defeat that is unrealistic standards for the women he’d rather have aren’t working out as well as he hoped. Don’t be that girl. It sounds like you’ve worked hard to get where you are, and can do better than some jerk’s back up plan.

I'm better than him he has a crappy job and crappy apartment. I get told I'm really pretty and successful so why do I get treated like an option

[Sixgunsound]

If you let him treat you as an option he will. Once he voluntarily leaves it’s done.

[Asker]

I'm just leaving him to it I don't care

[Sixgunsound]

Leaving him or letting him come crawling back to treat you like an option? The English language has if not the highest degree of ambiguity at least a very close second.

I should not tell you this secret as a guy but you should find someone better for you honestly.

[Asker]

Yeah I'm not opening up his message

[Selena1987]

Find another guy
It seems he doesn’t want you as much as you deserve and also you seem better than him
Find some one who values you

[Asker]

Yeah I'm so over it now he can stalk my page all he wants I'll get some hot guy soon

I don't care about a woman's success, I only care about her beauty, if I find another more beautiful woman, I'll change her.

[Asker]

I havebt talked go him in ages but he made a fake Facebook to stalk me

[iJokeTeeth]

Those popular and successful people didn't want to date him, I guess he had nothing to offer them

[Asker]

🤣🤣🤣 he complains that I'm not good enough but yet I'm way more successful than him and good looking
