Why Is My Ex Bad Mouthing Me?

Hey GirlShrink,
After 6 months of moving on with my life, my ex (who dumped me) still continues to bad mouth about me. She made a lot of negative comments to me through the public such as friends and also in blogs where alot of people started telling me all these items. As well, she started dating another person during that period of trash talking me.

My question is why is it that she keeps on talking about me? I haven’t bothered her for over a long period of time. Please help it is getting really irritating!

Hi Irritated,

You haven’t really given me a lot of information to go on, but I’ll go out on a limb and say that you p!##@* her off which is what led her to dumping you OR she feels so guilty for dumping you that she feels the need to talk “trash” about you so that others can support her in her decision to let you go.

In either case, there is not much you can or need to do but let her play out her immature ramblings while you go on with your life. If it gets to a point (online) where she is lying and damaging your reputation then you can try and contact the site owners and asked for the comments to be removed. But that is a long and hard road sometimes. Even folks with money and lawyers have a hard time getting that done.

So my vote is to ignore her. Keep ignoring her. And remember that the more she talks about you – the more you can bank that she is NOT really over you. She’s just fooling herself.

No need to hear the whole thing – but you can tell me if the things she is saying are true or false. That will tell me a lot. (No judgements:)
