Question - (6 August 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 6 August 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

When a man calls himself a s**t , does that mean he thinks he is a horrible person, and that he thinks you are a nice person and he feels bad for treating you badly ?. This is about someone i was seeing. We saw each other for two months, and he stopped contacting me without telling me why. When i bumped into him once, he said this about himself. And, if a man knows this about himself, why doesn't he try to make himself a better person ?. And, if he thought i was a nice person, why did he stop contacting me and not explain why ?. It's so confusing !.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (6 August 2011):

he probably has had bad experiences with women. that's why he's ashamed he can't live up to his own expectations in treating you. he's just a person with no confidence, and therefore gave up in pursuing you because he believes it will go nowhere OR he has nothing to offer you as a person and thus feels "bad" about himself.

Perhaps he's wrestling with his inner demons and feels you shouldn't be involved. If that's true, then you should give him the space needed. A person can't change overnight. It takes much time and patience, as well as, strength and determination. As for not giving an explanation, I admit that was a little rude. Did you ask him why he stopped contacted you? Did you two sit down and have a proper discussion? If he is having some issues regarding himself, maybe he wasn't sure how to put your break up "into words." I know its not good to base conclusions on the "perhaps" and "maybes" and what ifs", but given the time you've spent with him, what are the possibilities as to why?

He knows you didn't deserve his vanishing act, he's probably ashamed of himself now.

Maybe hes matured enough to face telling girls its not working out nowadays maybe not - its not nice when men just go silent and we never see them again.But it happens alot.

I wouldn't worry about him, its just a lesson learnt.
