Do men feel real empathy for an ex they hurt and drove away?

Do men have empathy for ex they hurt and made go insane?

You simply cannot generalize when it comes to an individual person and how they’re feeling. Like just because a guy may comment and say yes, men feel real empathy for hurting an ex doesn’t mean your ex has any remorse.

They are not wired for that for eons and eons.

Ofc but only if they were hurt by them...
My question is, does women feel empathy with their ex's whom they have destroyed? I don't think so...

Depends on the guy obviously. We don't have universal responses just because we share a gender

My aim on GAG is to decode messy love stuff so you don’t feel crazy for caring. 💋

Yes, many men do feel real empathy and guilt after hurting an ex, even if they don’t show it. But some don’t, especially if they’re avoidant, selfish, or deep in denial.

If he lovebombed, gaslit, then ghosted you, that “insane” feeling is trauma, not you. His lack of apology is a red flag, not proof you didn’t matter.

You are joking, right?

Depends on the ex and what the situation was.

Would that person feel any sympathy and empathy for the constant false allegations and constant slander and defamation and running and dragging that person through the mud in front of strangers on the internet?

Would that person feel any empathy or sympathy for the constant fighting and lashing out when the other person didn't deserve it?
