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.

That might be just venting, but not knowing how or with who is not a good sign, quite immature.

I’ve been there, wanting to say awful things about someone I wanted to get back with. You either vent with someone that knows you don’t really mean it or just shut the fuck up and suck it up.
