So he isn't allowed to show emotion? It's no different than a woman crying over a breakup. If you feel the relationship has run it's course end it but don't treat him like he shouldn't have emotions, that's the type of toxic shit we are trying to get rid of in men. Validate his feelings but let him know you are not interested anymore. As for those saying he should man up...fuck that, it can't be both ways here. You can't expect men to be more in touch with their feelings to be a better partner but expect them to not express those feelings.

Not sure if you read the whole post. He’s literally stalking my friends list and begging them for help. He also contacted someone on my video game list with the same ish.

I read it but that doesn't change the response about him expressing his feelings. You should still end the relationship.

This isn’t just expressing feelings. This is contacting pretty much everyone she knows to try and get others to buy into his stalking. Because that is what this is. It isn’t just expressing feelings it’s obsessive and could turn dangerous

It could be stalking or it could be the desperate attempt of a man in love. I told her to leave regardless

He's not expressing his feelings, he's pulling the victim card in an attempt to guilttrip OP back in a relationship through her friends, pure manipulation and toxicity

How the hell do you know? Are you in that relationship? Do you know the person in question? You have one side of a story, I am simply saying it is possible that it is a desperate attempt to salvage a relationship. People are so narrow minded and quick to jump to negativity.

Yes you’re right about the feelings part

Don't get me wrong, the behavior can definitely be viewed as manipulation but as they say, a drowning man will clutch at a straw.
