Is it normal to put up with a mean ex

he broke up with you, he doesnt want you anymore, he likes the attention and power youre giving him. Tell him to fuck off before u get badly hurt

you cant be friends with an ex. (and i mean if u had a relationship with and not just some random sex night)

Let it go. There are so many other people out there for you.

I put up with a mean ex for four years. In the end, she did something so terrible that I lost any respect for her. There's a reason why people are ex's.

Don't take that. If he loved you, he would be calling you and wanting to hang out.

He's only gonna use you for sex if you guys get back together.. Stop talking to him and concentrate on your education and fitness.. Make yourself look good and hang out with your girls and do what you got to do to avoid this doosh bag

He directly told you he doesn't want to speak to you again... you say "put up with a mean ex", yet it sounds like he's the one putting up with YOU after you keep getting in touch after he explained he didn't want to know you anymore. I don't mean to be mean, but based on everything you said, you have to look at this from an outside perspective and see he's not doing anything wrong.

It's normal, but DON'T put up with it!

Same situation here, but I don't love him anymore. He started personally insulting me behind my back so I decided never to talk to him again. BEST decicion I have ever made!

Sorry, I misread, I thought you had finished with him. Now, looking back at it. He might be acting so horrible because he knows how much he meant to you. I think he doesn't care how much he upsets you. If he used to stand you up and back out at last minutes then that just proves how selfish he is. I think the best thing for you, is to cut him out, and try to move on and meet new people. He seems to be comfortable with the idea of doing what he wants and acting how he likes knowing you will accept it. Please try and look after yourself, your number one.

Some people can be friends with an ex (usually because they weren't completely in love, or weren't too serious) But, when you have fallen in love with someone and you break up, that love turns in to a hate/love relationship. Love can't fade just like that, it takes time. There is two reasons to why he is like this. One:
Deep down he has feelings for you that hasn't completely gone yet. He shows this, by trying to treat you mean,to make himself feel better, so you would back off. He doesn't want to allow himself to show you that he is actually hurt by losing you.
Two:
He could still love you, but is angry he has lost you. But now it has come to an end, he may want to move on. He might think that the relationship could not work?

Like you said, you love him still so obviusly thats why your getting hurt by his behaviour. It's normal for him to act this way, it's almost as if he is trying to make you want him, now that you can't. He may actually want to stay apart though, no matter how much he may still love you, it all depends on how you broke up. I think the best thing to do is to break away from him, don't go out your way to text him, if he texts you then take a while to text back or not at all. This way you can really test how he feels and what he wants from you. Do you really want to keep loving him if he can't talk to you with some kind of respect? There is only so much someone can take, and like most of the other comments, there are more people out there, you got your whole life to live yet.
Good luck.

It's called don't remain friends with exes. Simple as that. Cut them out of your life.

I don't know. It's normalbut it's had to give advise to such a situation with only little detail. I would say to leave himbe. If he wants to talklet him. But dont call or text him. He will sort things out if he's put on the spot like that
