WHY DONT THEY LEAVE US ALONE

r/

I don’t even know how men’s brains work! I(F18) was involved with a guy(M23) for 2 weeks, we went on 2 outside dates and 3 at home movie dates. And then I left to go back to my college across the country. As I was leaving from our last date before I went back home, he told me he wasn’t going to see anyone until I came back into town during a school break that was 3 months away. I was kind of shocked and told him that I wasn’t ready to commit to that and would be seeing people here. Eventually our contact dwindled naturally and I told him we should end things because I’m out of his town 8/12 months of the year, we’re in different life situations, and I’m not really into long distance. He kept texting me and texting me, even after I got into a committed relationship and when I told him that, he got really sad.

“I should be going to sleep but I can’t now I only knew you for a couple weeks and now I think about you all the time you even got me flowers like what the fuck, i’m super bummed this is honestly the worst. I think i’m gonna hide our texts starting tomorrow cause i can’t bear to see your name just tell me when you come back in like a bunch of months or however long it takes”

I apologized multiple times for hurting him and tried to smooth things over and then just end contact. Then today, months later, he sends me a reel on instagram of someone getting came on?? I have no idea what’s going on.

    You don’t need to spend the energy to figure out what’s going on in his head. You just need to blocka blocka blocka.

    Block. Don’t allow him to keep in contact as that’s what he wants.

    You don´t need to apologize for anything. Please stop doing it
    You weren´t a match, and that is what can happen. It is normal
    He is not respecting you and your decsions
    He will continue to contact you, unles you block him or just ignore his texts
    He doesn´t ad anything to your life ecxept irritation

    Enmeshment, objectification, limerence. Dude needs therapy. Block and move on.

    Arrogance, entitlement, audacity. They think once they’ve had access to us, they will always be able to worm their way back in when they’re horny, bored or lonely.
