Just to qualify….I’m 32.

This is a total defense mechanism on his part. When I was many years younger, I had a dated a girl for almost five years. Neither of us could stand each other when we broke up, but, she broke up with me. I, unfortunately, did the same thing your ex did. I couldn’t keep my mouth shut about things. Anything that I thought would make her look like trash, I kept saying. Looking back, I’m totally embarrassed and wish I had done things differently.

The best thing for your ex is for him to find someone new, and quickly. It’s amazing how things will change. If he falls in love, he’ll keep his mouth shut. If he’s not, he’ll still keep his mouth because he probably doesn’t want to be alone.

Fortunately for you, most of the people he’s yapping to can see through his barrage of insults and won’t give him a second thought.

Offer to get back together with him and he will probably stop as well. It’s all just a male ego thing.
