Why does he care if he broke up with me but hates that I’m moving on?
Why does he does this?. It’s ok if he moves on and is in a relationship but its not ok for me to do it?. I’m not saying I let him get involved in my life but my question is why does he do this?.
He has been dating a girl for three years they also plan to get married. However when a man tries to enter my life or tries to date me he doesn’t like it and goes and messes it up.
I also went to his engagement party, he is a family friend and all, and while people were saying their congrats to him and kissing him on his cheek when I walked up to the stage he stood up for only me. He didn’t even stand up for his own mother.
If it also helps he has anger issues like very bad anger issues and in the past has hit my ex boyfriend (Which resulted in, him sending my cousin to spy on our relationship and it ended). I was also the first girl he was intimate with.

Possessive men! This is not healthy. I believe it is a control issue. Unfortunately, in many cases, controlling men look at their women, past and present, as property they own. He cannot stand the idea that you can be happy without him. And, yes, even though he seeks happiness and may have found happiness with someone else. Being affected by this behavior, he’s getting what he wants. Your time, your thoughts, your worry, your attention. Stop! He’s not your problem anymore.
First and foremost is your safety. Do you think he will bring harm to you or someone you date? If so, you should consider a protection from abuse citation that you can file with your local police. You need to make sure you unfriend him from any social media so he doesn’t know your business, block his phone number, and change your email. Are you in the same circle of friends? Is that why you were at his engagement party? From now on, decline any potential interactions with him. If you think it is necessary due to his temper, prior to doing all this, tell him you are severing all ties so the two of you can move forward with your own lives in a healthy manner. Do not be alone with him when you tell him. As I said, I want you to keep safety first. He may laugh or try to make you feel small but don’t feel badly. You know he is the one that has irrational thinking.
It is time for you to move on. Enjoy being single and enjoy your next relationship. When you feel close enough to your next dating partner, tell them if the situation hasn’t been resolved yet but to please not be bothered by any “shenanigans” from your ex. If someone shows up that you think will report back to him, decide if you want to call them out on it and show you’re displeasure or simply let it go and let any repercussions roll off your back.
What you’re feeling is frustration because it does not seem fair. It isn’t. Don’t be fooled that he regrets your break-up. He just has an unhealthy ego and you can be glad you are no longer involved.
