What’s the thought process behind trash-talking someone while simultaneously wanting to be with them? - Lemmy.World

My ex has been ranting to people about how I’m such a slut, while at the same time pestering me about him coming to Switzerland to see me and getting back together. I don’t get this mindset.

It’s emotional manipulation designed to make you feel worthless and unlovable to others and yourself, whilst also making you feel like the only person that actually wants you is him. The ultimate goal is to keep you with him, no matter what he does by making you believe that only he will put up with you.

On top of that, I would guess he’s an idiot.
