Why your ex want to keep you around?

Plain and simple while you let this jerk get away with this he is gona carry on,because men if they can have their cake and eat it will,your being used not nice to hear i know but true so put a stop to his games and tell him you will not be seeing him while he has a girlfriend ,he will soon come to his senses when reality hits home and if he does not well thats his loss not yours

He is holding on to you because you're letting him. By staying around, you are telling him that you can not live without him and you're giving him permission to control and manipulate you. It's not fair on you and it's not fair on his current girlfriend.

If he and his new girlfriend are 'just having fun' he would have told her about you. Chances are, he's lying to her as well - and she doesn't deserve that either.

You will be better off when you start to believe that you deserve someone who treats you with respect - only then will you be able to move on with your life and find someone who you trust and who truly will want to make you - and only you - happy.

Classic case of the male who cannot handle being alone so he always has to have a spare and you are the spare.

He believes if he gets dumped he can always come back to you.

Hope you have more brains and self esteem than to take his pathetic loser *ss back :)

Because guys are dumb. They never really know what they want. I think he just wants something to fall back on. So that way he can have his cake and eat it to. I would drop him. He is trying to control you. Girl you don't need anyone that's gonna be like that.

It's just a power thing. He wants to keep his options open. It also boosts his ego to know that he has 2 women waiting around for him.

Thats simple. Most likely he thinks if things dont work out he can use you as a fall back girl. Don't let him do this. Lets him think he can run back to you whenever he pleases.

You answered it yourself-he wants to have his cake and eat it! (more than likely, he wants you as a back-up if things go wrong with his new g/f...if it does and he goes back to you, be prepared for him to repeat it all again and again and again, for as long as you stay for him, like the good 'pet' he thinks you are!)

He sounds like he has you where he wants...please don't pander to his Egomania! Only YOU will get hurt in the end.

wishing you good judgment!

Because he likes feeling that two women are with him it makes him feel on top of the world. Ditch him. Find someone who is good enough for you.

He wants to keep you around for power and control. He wants to have his cake and eat it too, so to speak. It is up to you whether you allow that or not. Move on in your life..........without him!

Just forget about him and go and find a new boyfriend.
