Hey all.
Just got out of a 6 week relationship...one in which I thought was very very good. However, he did not handle "the end" very well and pretty much just shut me out. As soon as I realized he was, in fact, ignoring me (he is in a dangerous line of work), I stopped contact.
Well now I'm looking back to try and learn from the experience, and a red flag I think I may have overlooked was the crazy ex talk.
Even before our first date, he told me he "gets all the crazies". He went as far to say that one was a cutter, another was an alcoholic, etc. He did say how he took them as learning experiences. However, his car had been vandalized by more than 1 female. And he tells this "crazy ex" tale alot...mutual friends have made comments to me how he "always gets the crazies".
Am I losing it, or that's an obvious red flag, right? I have had wayyy crazier exes, but never spoke of them.
I do want to say that besides that, in 6 weeks, we treated me very well - he wasn't abusive or anything. But it just seems like at the end, he doesn't handle it so well, maybe like what he did to me.
I have a feeling I may now be on the list of "crazy exes" (although I did nothing like the others). I really don't care about that, he's delusional if he tells people that and I could care less. I'm just curious if "crazy exes" is a warning sign for that next time...
Thanks.
