Why do men leave when you beg them to stay—but cling when you’re done?

[Anonymous]

But the man stays when you are done with him for good.

Ah the human condition!

Same psychology that makes a kid want to play with a toy the second you do or take it away.

Sad to inform you women are no different. A few well placed no's and the odds she throes herself at you are as likely as her leaving.

Things we can't have seem more precious? There's dozens of models to explain this in as many fields. Not sure how serious of an answer you want. It is a, often but not always, correct assessment of how humans function. Although I'd stress that mindgames are only temporary.

Men don't, emotionally unhealthy people do that

Control. We (men and women) are fine with doing the leaving if it is our choice. But we freak the fuck out if someone else is making that decision and we lose all power over it. This is pretty simple stuff. We all want what we can't have. Scarcity creates value. Etc.

When i want to leave, i'll leave no matter how much you beg, if you want to leave then you're free to go, forcing someone to stay is a big turn off for me...

If i was in a committed relationship, i would leave my other half easily, she doesn't have to beg because i'm someone who prefers to work on the issues and fix them, not a simp or c*nt who runs away immediatly at the first opsticle!

Tbh begging isn't love it's just fear.

Nobody wants to stay where someone is scared to lose them, they come back when ur done cause done looks peaceful and peace is kinda attractive ngl.

Begging is so unattractive. Men get turned off when women resort to begging. It is immature and childish on every level.

That is just another male-maddening paradox.

It feels completely counterintuitive.

We can get really, really dumb for the right girl.

Same reason women do it. To find your answers one need only look in the mirror at your own gender.

I don’t know any women that do it.

[Opinion Owner]

And yet most do, especially after they cheat.

[Asker]

Not sure what you’re talking about.

[rose_noire]

Be honest for a sec, when someone begs YOU to stay, do you actually wanna stay? no, you feel trapped that's why he left you.

and when you're finally done and that person suddenly wants you back, do you feel loved? no, you feel powerful that's why you're still here replying.

so if you say women don't do it, you're just not honest with yourself and if you think women do it "especially after they cheat", that's not logic, that's just your trauma talking.

[Asker]

I don't know what you’re talking about.

[rose_noire]

Quick question, if someone u dont want anymore begs u to stay, would u stay? no right.

So u do know what im talking about.

[Asker]

No I don’t know what you’re talking about because I can’t relate to what you’re talking about. I only saw it happened when it comes to men. You think I’m a lesbian that I know how women act?
