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

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.

Maybe he has low self-esteem and believes that you’re only going to be with him if he makes you feel bad (i.e get you down on his level).

Needless to say, it’s a very harmful behavior to him and specially to you.
