Ok dealing with an ex he said this to me! can you all help me?? I need brutal advice and honesty here!

1. I want us to be friends but i dont expect you to love me or care for me.

2. I am in a serious realtionship but I can not let go of you it would be wrong.

3. I only tell you things so you will shut up.

4. I love you , but i only tell you that to shut you up to.

5. Let me go and get over yourself, i turned my feelings for you off when i met her so why can you not just let go of me.


What in the world??

Big red flags to stay away from that man. "

" Brutal Advice and Honesty..
Why are you still talking to this man? I read your profile and can't tell if he is the father of your children. I see you also say you have no support system.... From what you say he says to you, it seems as though he is frustrated and is saying whatever he thinks will calm you or quiet you. I would say "cut off all unnecessary communication with him.".... Start building a support system for yourself. Go to church, find groups to join, start exercising. Get busy living your life and move on. There isn't anything healthy about this relationship for either of you.
Good Luck. "

" Okay, you said brutal honesty so honey here it is. Why OH WHY do you not love yourself enough to see that this man's statements are not just foul but demeaning to you. Of course he "doesn't want to let you go" you are stroking his ego while he stays in a very safe spot. Your on one side hopelessly waiting for him while he's got a girl on the other side who he won't leave because he's comfortable there. He gets a girl and you as the default if it doesn't work out. He sounds like a psychopath. Not like in the Alfred Hitchcock sense but in the toying with your emotions for fun sense. She did you a favor, SHE GETS HIM. Yay for you because you can do way, way better. "
