Why would a man keep bad mouthing his ex when he mistreated her?

[Anonymous]

He abused me, cheated on me and he's a deadbeat. It's been months that we've been broken up and he talks badly about me to anyone who listens. Shouldn't I be the one bitter and livid?

He sees himself reflected when he's with you. All his inadequacies and insecurities are apparent. When men see women that are strong, capable and in better positions than them they either rise up to match them or they crumble under the pressure. Sadly, as he fell apart, he attempted to make you do the same. He's not worth your time or this much consideration. Also, no. Don't be bitter, you'd be giving him power. True strength doesn't need to be shown by being loud.

Nah, don't even bother. Make better out of your life.
