Why would you stay in contact with someone that treated you so poorly from your description?

Following an ex on social media is bad news. Block her on everything. You can ask chat here and there but don't follow on social media. It'll only make things worse.

Why?

If I’m understanding correctly, the OP and the ex girlfriend have mutual friends, so my guess is that it probably happened by default.

He probably needs to actively put some distance between the two of them and get her out of his head.

If anyone would think anything besides “trashy” when they see someone unloading their personal woes and victim seeking on Facebook, they’re as much as the problem as her.

My ex and I have been on good terms since we divorced, its necessary when you have kids together.

She's a great lady, just has bad taste in men.

Dude she’s stringing you along because you’re allowing her to. No more contact, no more texting, don’t message her on fbook, NONE OF THAT! These women will play with you and use you to get through whatever they’re going through at the moment. That’s what she did when yall met, while yall dated, and now after the breakup.

Be a man and walk away from the situation with your head held high while you still have some dignity left. Dont answer her calls/texts, don’t acknowledge her juvenile ‘I need attention’ facebook posts, etc…. She treats you a certain way because you allow it to continue. Once she realizes she can’t have any affect on your emotions she will either come running back (horrible idea for you) or completely let you go (which is what you need)

You should laugh and take comfort in knowing that everyone will be laughing with you. She's still stuck on baby daddy who is a loser and you get to break free and move on. People post that crap on facebook because they are trash and mental midgets. I expect her to begin listening to Taylor Swift soon.

I wouldn't let it get to you.

About a decade ago I went on a few dates with a single mom. She seemed like she had her sh*t together. A month or two in things got a little more serious. Met her kid once, all seemed well. The day after she called and asked if I would pick her kid up from school. After telling her I don't really feel comfortable doing that she went on a big rant that she needs a guy who can step up and all this BS. I cut it off then and she went on a 6 month facebook "where are all the good men" streak. Pretty sure everybody could read between the lines.

Your mistake was getting involved with a single mom.

No, you shouldn't be offended. She's obviously talking about her ex and not you.


Of course he should be offended. It’s like he never existed to her.

Oh, like the one you were going steady with three weeks ago? Forgotten about him already?

Everyone here is right. Cut off contact and move on. Memory hole her.

You should not, but only you decide that for yourself.

A good man gives a person space when she asks for it like you did. If she can't see past her own need for her friends to tell her how amazing she is (posting on Facebook is a whole different red flag) and how publicly writing bullshite like that could affect you, then you're signing up for more of that staying in touch with her.

Maybe the ex-husband showing up was her excuse to end things. Either way don't rely on what she says, watch her feet. Seems like she's telling you what you need to know with her actions.

You're posting this like you're a loser and she's the only woman in the world. Defriend her and move on. She sounds crazy.

As I date in my 40s I find it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find a sane woman without kids. Most are older now but very very few women in their late 30s early 40s don't have kids.
Yes my preference is no kids. I got burned treating two kids as my own for 10 years only to be totally cut off from them after the split.
So I will not date anyone with young kids. But pretty much every woman has kids or is crazy.

Ideally I would like to have a kid of my own but I think that ship has sailed.

There's a better way instead of stressing about this and raising someone else's kids
