Guys, Why do men say they are interested in you and when you start dating they can't stop talking about their exes?

[Sweetlittlemama]

[Guy13]

Yeah, that’s simply a sign that the man is not over the Ex and need someone to talk about the Past with.

More evident, is the reality that you are the rebound girl. You can ride that out not believing it and hoping it will work or you can get out now before you really get hurt.

[OlderAndWiser]

These guys may be horny and have the hots for you, but they are not ready to move forward in a relationship wth someone else. That's enough of a red flag and you need to act on it decisively.

[Avicenna]

Maybe they still are hurt from what happened to them in their last relationship. But they should not be dating of their minds are not clear.

[PointTaken]

That's kind of fucked up. I don't talk about any of mine. One, they're exs for a reason. Two, no one wants to hear that.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Are they saying good things or bad things?
Comparing you to them?

[Sweetlittlemama]

Both good and bad things about his ex-wife. Memories he had with her. He hasn't compared me to her but he has told me so much details about her. I know her birthday, occupation, name of her boyfriend, Her boyfriends age and his her boyfriends occupation. Her parents name to give a few examples. She cheated on him with at least 3 men he knows about.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Good lord... he needs to get over that bitch.
I don't know why he feels the need to tell you all that, I'm sorry.
I don't even talk about my girlfriend who died to my current one. I know women hate that

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Just stop dating, it’s super easy barely an inconvenience. Dice literally make the world go round. Dating is a watered down version of the Nazis herding Jews.

[humanearth]

The ones that do that are stupid.

I know some women that do the same shit

[FilmGuy93]

When someone is emotionally caught up on their ex, it shows up in weird and unexpected ways.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

I've dealt with that from a woman. I don't know.

[Sweetlittlemama]

Last 3 men I dated were like this. They even showed me pictures of their ex. I don't know if I'm supposed to compliment about their exes pictures or what to say lol. But I asked the question because everyone has exes and it usually ended badly. Either they are looking for a free therapist with someone kind enough to hear them talk about their exes hours or trying to get over their ex. Either way it's selfish.

[Anonymous]

Because they have reenforced neurological patterns coming up.

[chicosuave]

cuz they recently broke up with them

[Alex8736]

not to sound blunt but you are a rebound

[Sweetlittlemama]

He seems to talk about all his exes even ones that he broke up 20+ years ago. Might be a rebound from last relationship but he can't give over his past. I was wondering why cause last 3 dates I was one I was seeing pictures of their exes. It doesn't make sense to me.

[Alex8736]

Too keep it simple. in order for your life to be successful you have to move forward where he is looking backwards and you don't need someone living in rewind mode especially if you 2 are together and 1 day have a minor argument he will keep looking backwards and constantly bring it up. just being honest

[EaterPeter]

They do that to you too?

[serious]

Is this true?
