Why Your Ex Is So MEAN After Dumping You

Breakups are hard enough on their own, but they can become even more painful when your ex responds with anger, cruelty, or mean-spirited behavior. It's natural to feel confused and hurt, wondering why someone who once cared about you is now acting this way. Understanding their behavior can provide clarity, help you process your emotions, and guide you in making the best decisions moving forward. Get Coach Lee's $7 Reunion Blueprint at https://ReunionBlueprint.com to get your ex back - even if it seems hopeless! Why Is Your Ex Mean After a Breakup? The answer often lies in a combination of emotional immaturity, guilt, and unresolved feelings. When someone ends a relationship, they may feel a mix of relief and discomfort. If their decision hurt you, they're likely aware of it on some level, even if they don't openly admit it. Facing that guilt can be difficult, so instead, they deflect it through anger or cruelty. 1. Immature Defense Mechanism One common reason your ex is mean after a breakup is that they're using cruelty as a defense mechanism. They might see your pain and feel guilty about being the cause of it. Instead of acknowledging this guilt, they react defensively, getting angry at you for showing emotion. It's their way of avoiding the discomfort of facing what they've done. In today's society, we often struggle with how to handle someone else's pain. Rather than sitting with it and providing support, some people try to ignore or dismiss it because it's uncomfortable. Your ex's anger or harshness might not be about you at all but rather about their inability to cope with your emotions. This behavior becomes even more likely if their reasons for breaking up with you were weak or selfish. For example, if they claimed they needed to “find themselves” or “work on themselves,” they might feel a lingering sense of guilt for ending the relationship. Seeing you hurt reminds them of that guilt, and they'd rather lash out than take responsibility. 2. Persistence Can Backfire Another factor that might contribute to your ex's anger is persistent communication. After a breakup, it's natural to want to keep the lines of communication open, especially if you're hoping for reconciliation. However, persistence can be misinterpreted as pressure. When your ex feels pressured, they might respond with frustration or cruelty to create distance. This is particularly true if they've already started justifying the breakup in their mind. Your attempts to reach out may challenge their narrative, which can cause them to react negatively. In extreme cases, they might escalate their meanness as a way to push you away completely. Rather than trying to explain yourself or win them back through persistence, it's often more effective to step back and respect their space. Giving them time and distance can help de-escalate the situation and prevent further harm to your connection. Get Coach Lee's $7 Reunion Blueprint at https://ReunionBlueprint.com to get your ex back - even if it seems hopeless! 3. Emotions Over Logic Breakups are emotional, and emotions can cloud judgment. Your ex's harsh behavior may stem from their inability to process their own feelings rationally. When someone says their “feelings faded,” it often means they're experiencing the natural decline of limerence—the intense infatuation that characterizes the early stages of a relationship. Limerence isn't designed to last forever. It fades as the relationship matures, making way for deeper forms of love, like commitment and companionship. Unfortunately, many people misinterpret the end of limerence as the end of love. When their emotions take over, they might act impulsively, choosing to leave the relationship rather than working through this phase. If you've tried to reason with your ex or convince them to stay, their emotions may override their ability to hear you. Instead of responding logically, they react defensively or with anger because they don't want to confront the complexities of their feelings. 4. Cruelty Is Often Temporary The good news is that your ex's meanness is often temporary. Once the initial emotions of the breakup settle, they may start to reflect on their actions. They might realize that their behavior was unfair and even feel regretful. In many cases, an ex will reach out to apologize once they've had time to process everything. When this happens, it's important to manage your expectations. An apology doesn't necessarily mean they want to get back together. More often, it's an attempt to alleviate their own guilt. Accept their apology graciously, but don't read too much into it. 5. The No Contact Rule The No Contact Rule is one of the most effective strategies for addressing an ex's anger and protecting your own emotional well-being. By cutting off communication, you give both yourself and your ex the space to process the breakup. No contact disrupts their defensive patterns. When you're not actively engaging with them, they have no reason to maintain their anger. Over time, this silence can spark curiosity and reflection. Your ex might start wondering why you've stopped reaching out, which can lead to moments of clarity about the relationship. This period of no contact isn't just for them—it's for you too. It allows you to focus on your healing and gain perspective on what you truly want. Whether or not reconciliation is possible, the No Contact Rule helps you regain your emotional footing. Moving Forward Understanding why your ex is mean after a breakup can help you navigate the situation with clarity and strength. Their behavior is often more about their own emotions and struggles than about you. By stepping back, respecting their space, and focusing on your own growth, you create the best opportunity for healing—whether that means moving on or eventually reconnecting.

Limerence is an addiction-level romantic obsession with someone you can't have. It can get so bad that you're checking out of reality, isolating and fantasizing that the person you love loves you back. It's common in people who were emotionally neglected as kids, and it can rob you of any chance of truly loving someone and being loved in your life, because limerence takes up that space where anyone real, could really be with you. In this video, I respond to a follow-up letter from a man who wrote to me last year, immobilized with limerence. Now, his life is healing, and he shares how he did it.

These steamy and provocative poems, combining humor and heartache, run through the four phases of Limerence, the state of being infatuated or obsessed with another person: Infatuation, Crystallization, Deterioration, and Ecstatic Release. From the opening poem, “She'll do anything for food,” to the sexy title poem, “What She Wants,” the painfully funny, “His Other Girlfriend,” to the longing in “Visiting Baudelaire,” and the sad, sweet final poem, “Fish's Lament,” Kim Dower captures the essence of what it means to be stuck on someone—even on a squirrel! Her eclectic, growing readership will savor these poems that can be read in one sitting, like a story with an arc, or separately, each one recalling the moment of falling in or out of love, the moment our hearts skipped a beat." https://redhen.org/book_author/kim-dower/

Today we're joined by Nicole Matusow, a psychoanalyst who's going to take us on a deep dive into the fascinating world of limerence - that overwhelming, obsessive state of romantic infatuation that can completely take over our lives. With her extensive background in psychoanalysis, Nicole will help us understand the unconscious mechanisms driving this intense experience, from the early attachment patterns that set the stage to the role of fantasy and emotional regulation. We'll explore why some of us are more prone to limerence than others, how early experiences shape our romantic patterns, and most importantly - what we can actually do about it. Whether you're currently experiencing limerence or supporting someone who is, I hope this conversation will be useful to you. ImiAbout Nicole: Nicole Matusow is a New York City psychotherapist practicing in the Flatiron area. She sees both individuals and couples/family members, taking a contemporary psychoanalytic and feelings-based approach. Her practice addresses limerence, judgmental self-talk, people-pleasing, difficulties in conveying thoughts and feelings, and familial ruptures.She offers both in-person and teletherapy services.https://www.nicolematusow.com Eggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com About Imi Lo: www.imiloimilo.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/eggshelltherapy_imilo/ Newsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

FULL TEXT: https://eggshelltherapy.com/bpd_limerence/Limerence is an experience unlike any other. It is beyond pure infatuation, but an all-consuming experience that can bring us to the highest ecstasy and the lowest depths of despair. It floods our brains with neurons and turns everything into a breathless roller coaster ride. However much we 'know' it is irrational, and try to shake it off, we cannot seem to escape the constant loop of hope and disappointment, longing and devastation.  This state of all-consuming romantic obsession is what Dorothy Tennov termed as limerence in her groundbreaking 1979 work.Limerence is a complex and often painful experience for most people, as few of us would choose to have our whole sense of being taken over by intrusive thoughts and fantasies. But it is never as simple as a conscious choice. Behind these overwhelming feelings lies a deeper story—one that begins in our earliest experiences of love and loss and speaks to the very heart of how we learn to attach and bond with others.The picture gets even more complex for those with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in limerence. When you have BPD, your emotional thermostat is already set at a different level, and with limerence in the mix, it can become truly unbearable chaos.In this piece, we shall explore the underlying psychological mechanisms of limerence and how these dynamics take on unique dimensions for those with BPD. By understanding these patterns more deeply—from both psychoanalytic and neurobiological perspectives—we can hopefully help you chart a path forward that honors the intensity of your experience and your capacity for healing. Eggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com About Imi Lo: www.imiloimilo.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/imi_lo_/ Newsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

People say limerence is a projection of who YOU really are, or a projection of the divine – but sometimes I think that toxic cloud of limerence might be generated by the ABSENCE left by your parents' failure to truly see or love you.

Your Ex's Thoughts If They're Dating Someone

Coach Lee

What Is Your Ex Thinking If They're Dating Someone Else? After a breakup, seeing your ex dating someone else can be incredibly challenging. You might wonder what's going through their mind and whether this new relationship is a rebound or something serious. Here are key insights into what your ex might be thinking if they've moved on to someone else and how this dynamic can evolve. Emergency Breakup Kit at https://MyExBackCoach.com/emergency-breakup-kit  1. The Stages of Grieving the Breakup Can Be Delayed If your ex begins dating someone shortly after your breakup—or even before it officially ended—they might not have fully processed the breakup yet. Their new relationship could be in the limerence stage, also known as the “honeymoon phase.” During limerence, people feel a heightened sense of excitement, passion, and novelty. This stage is often chemically fueled by dopamine, which can create an illusion of perfection in the new relationship. However, this phase doesn't last forever. Limerence lacks deeper aspects like commitment, companionship, and the feeling of family that sustain long-term relationships. While they may feel “madly in love” now, those intense emotions are not permanent. 2. No Contact Minimizes Limerence If you're in no contact with your ex, you're taking a powerful step to avoid fueling the limerence of their new relationship. Often, when an ex sees their previous partner trying to intervene or win them back, it creates an “us versus the world” mentality. This dynamic can deepen their bond with the new partner as they unite against a perceived threat. By staying silent, you remove yourself from the equation, leaving their new relationship to face its own natural challenges. Additionally, your lack of communication can intrigue your ex, shifting their focus away from their current relationship and back toward wondering about you. 3. They Will Miss Intimacy With You Once limerence fades—and it always does—your ex may begin to miss the intimacy you shared. This includes emotional closeness, shared experiences, and mutual understanding built over time. Their new relationship is in its early stages, meaning it lacks the depth and history that your relationship had. If your relationship lasted for six months or longer, you had time to develop a connection that went beyond surface-level attraction. Your ex may find themselves comparing the new partner to you and longing for the emotional safety and familiarity you provided. No contact strengthens this effect by withholding any updates about your life, leaving them curious and uncertain. They might start imagining you thriving, enjoying life, and potentially moving on—all of which can create a sense of fear of missing out (FOMO) in their mind. 4. Comparisons Start to Surface As the honeymoon phase of their new relationship ends, your ex may begin comparing you and their new partner. These comparisons can be in your favor if you were a kind, thoughtful, and emotionally supportive partner. They might remember the way you showed affection, the fun moments you shared, or even small gestures that made them feel loved. While their new relationship lacks the time and experiences necessary to develop such memories, your history with your ex becomes a unique advantage. Familiarity, shared stories, and inside jokes can outweigh the fleeting excitement of a new relationship. 5. A Secret Contact With You Can Undermine Their New Relationship If your ex reaches out to you while dating someone else, it's a significant sign. They are likely keeping this communication secret from their new partner, creating an intimacy with you that they don't share with them. This secrecy can subtly erode trust and closeness in their new relationship while reigniting a connection between you and your ex. When they confide in you about old times or current feelings, it rekindles the bond you shared. If this happens, avoid being cold or confrontational. Instead, be polite and open, allowing them to share without judgment. This can deepen the connection and make them realize what they're missing in their new relationship. Final Thoughts While it's painful to see your ex with someone else, understanding these dynamics can help you navigate the situation. Stay composed, maintain no contact, and focus on your growth. By doing so, you allow your ex to process their new relationship naturally, giving them the space to reflect on your time together. Whether or not they return, prioritizing your emotional well-being ensures that you'll emerge stronger and more confident in your future relationships.

J&J are joined by Olivia O'Brien ahead of the release for her upcoming EP, “Love and Limerence,” but before they get started, Jordana and Olivia fill Jared in on what limerence means. Then, Olivia shares the struggles with being vulnerable in her songwriting and dating other public figures, and Jared can relate for why he's cautious with the real experiences he puts into his work. Plus Olivia shocks J&J with the aftermath of her song with gnash, “i hate u, i love u,” blowing up on the charts in 2016, they talk double standards of women being vulnerable, the difference in LA and NYC social scenes, and why Gen Z might be more open to casual relationships. The episode ends with answering a listener's email about being on the hook and not knowing whether she should just walk away before she gets hurt. She's been happily seeing someone for two months, but he's now up for a job that would take him overseas indefinitely. They have yet to DTR, but she's certain she doesn't want to juggle a long-distance situation. Jared, Jordana and Olivia weigh in.
