They forgot how hard it was to land a woman is why.

Lol I love this little drawing. My ex husband skipped off to do god knows what, and I filled for divorce on his ass and walked away. I went 100% no contact, no social media, nothing. Four months later when we had to meet for the court appointment, he was crying like a little baby! In front of everyone. The real tea is that he only feels sorry for himself. He doesn't feel sorry for how he treated you or for what he did that caused you harm. He feels sorry for himself that consequences have arrived.

Omg exactly.

Literally all of my exes have tried to keep the option of getting back together open.

supremelyparanoid · 2020-01-24T00:54:21+00:00

This is so true. I’ve been unfortunate enough to be in two dates in the past where guys have cried about their ex in front of me.

Zurflu · 2020-01-24T01:36:10+00:00

He's probably crying because he has a months worth of dirty dishes and laundry sitting around lol

Men cry a lot. But when you catch a cold, they ignore you. If you need something, they ignore you. If a relative dies and it makes you sad, they (LVM) act like your emotions are so inconvenient. One guy got drunk, came over to my place and started crying about a dead relative he had never mentioned before during our year long relationship. I kept saying "Who?" He didn't explain.

One time, he called and said what's up. I said, my dad's in the hospital with a blood clot. He ignored the statement and started talking about some bullshit work problem. I said, "Excuse me?! I just told you one of my parents is in the hospital."

He said something like. "Oh yeah. Yeah. I get it." Then he started talking about himself again.

Why bother with the lvm?

I've been dumped twice in my life and both times within a month-2 months they crawled back crying.

Breakup timelines are real. Many men process at 30+ days and women are already moving past it by then. many of us are already grieving/tried and tried so we are done by the times its over and they get hit after.

That chocolate cake looks really good 😋

mdmayy_bb · 2020-01-24T04:44:26+00:00

I'm going through a LTR break-up right now and this is so damn true. It kind of makes me feel good that he's (LVM - never again!) not handling it well, because I was a fucking messy wreck at first and now I feel better than ever before, but he was so nonchalant about it at first.

I learned my lesson ladies, thank you for all of y'all's wisdom here. I'm never compromising myself or my dreams ever again, now nothing is more important to me than myself and building the life that I want.

flandersmustash · 2020-01-24T08:49:14+00:00

Can the fourth panel be the man plotting his revenge for her moving on?! Because after he realises he’s lost you he MUST PUNISH. (Only applicable to despicable abusive men) hhahah

redbirdflies · 2020-01-24T01:38:55+00:00

In my own experience this has always been the case.

wowthispostissad · 2020-01-24T00:48:17+00:00

The only reason this is accurate is because men are so out of touch with their feelings they’re severely stunted in life skills. Their own fault through patriarchy. It makes me laugh, insert dj Khaled, congrats you played yourself.

circescircus · 2020-01-24T13:24:49+00:00

Lol true.

But they're crying for themselves, not for the woman or the relationship.

A lot of guys are in relationships, feeling contemptuous towards their partner, because they think that if they were single, women would be throwing their drawers at them. They might reinforce that delusion by thinking a friend of the couple is into him, because she acts more friendly in his girlfriend's presence. Stuff like that. Men are really good at lying to themselves.

Then he breaks up with her or sabotages the relationship so she can break up with him, buys a mega box size of condoms, loads up his phone with apps, and is shocked that women aren't on his dick. This realization sinks in as the days, weeks and months go by. Then he starts to miss the companionship and human relationship he had with his ex. He may also realize she was the best he could do. He thinks, let me shoot my shot and message her.

Then he does this:

I really don’t get this timeline for men. It’s so annoying. But boy. Anytime I see mentions of just got out of a relationship or ex—swipe left.

ghygdryhchmmmmjj · 2020-01-24T05:08:57+00:00

This is what I have heard from men who are platonic friends.

Unlikely-Marzipan · 2020-01-24T10:33:14+00:00

Depends. If the guy is a narcissistic, chances are that it will be different sadly.

B_Project · 2020-01-24T00:53:39+00:00

Basically

7_0f_9 · 2020-01-24T04:35:32+00:00

i cant with this XD

GingyTheCatt · 2020-01-24T14:23:11+00:00

They actually say women get over breaks up a lot more easily than men. I’ve noticed this myself even. I’ll get over a guy, while the dude will linger on me for years and years.

TheHistoryMachine · 2020-01-24T02:20:37+00:00

A more accurate comic would be to have the guy at one month buying guns and ammo and writing a manifesto about murdering "Stacy's" and "Chads", and then at two months committing suicide by cop after going on a shooting spree in a public place.

Aggressive-March · 2020-01-25T00:02:48+00:00

Every single guy I have ever dated whether I dumped them or they dumped me has contacted me between 2-6 months later. Sometimes just a ‘hey’, sometimes a shitty apology and in one case begging for me back. In all these cases I had long moved on. But it’s crazy how that works. Once someone is an ex to me that’s all they are. I don’t want them back and unless there was a genuine friendship worth salvaging I don’t want them in my life. Most of the time these guys just end up jumping into unfulfilling rebounds that make them more miserable than actually taking the time to grieve or work on themselves. Men don’t know how to be alone.

usernames_r_us · 2020-01-24T12:55:00+00:00

The EMAILS I have gotten from my ex almost six months later are insane and pretty much like this.

Email is the only way he knows to contact me as I’ve blocked him on everything else. He’s blocked on email too, but it all goes to spam and I regularly check that folder so I see them all.

ObliviousIshani · 2020-01-24T17:46:53+00:00

and that’s on facts, im starting to recover more and more!
