My ex of over 8 years whom I have two kids with and one on the way doesn't understand why I am still in love with him. He thinks I should be over him already and moved on. We've only been split up for not even 4 weeks yet so why would he think I would just be over him. He keeps saying really harsh things to me that I know isn't true because he doesn't want me to be in love with him. Throughout our whole relationship he always wanted attention, if he felt I wasn't showing him enough love he would get upset and assume I didn't love him. I always tried really hard to show him that I loved him but I think he has truly convinced himself that I am this really awful person. I know I am not, people always tell me I am one of the most nicest person they have ever met and I have a good heart. I always put others before myself. He claims he just wants to be free and single and wants a "break" or space from us but I know how he is. He wants that love and attention, he wants to feel appreciated. Other girls are not going to just offer that too him right away. I feel so rejected and hurt by him and he knows that I do love and care for him so I don't know why he has pushed me away like this. He is going to be 34 soon, he isn't college educated, he doesn't even work right now (quit just before he dumped me) and he has 3 kids he has to currently support with another on the way. Why on earth he would think another female would want to be with him is beyond me. He doesn't have anything to bring to the table.....
