It's the male equivalent of women/girls who say they were abused/mistreated by every boyfriend they ever had. I won't even have these types as friends.

I concur with everyone else. I'd pass, since you shouldn't be labeling ex's as psychos anyways. I've had one ex that is described as crazy by my friends, but I just say she had crazy moments. The rest of my ex's have been rather pleasant. We just broke up due to our lives going in different directions. That male or female who says that all their ex's are crazy is not the person I want to get to know from a relationship standpoint or even a friendship standpoint. There's generally some toxicity that follows them every where they go.

I hear ya. I no longer care to be around people (women) who start off an acquaintance by telling me they've had a series of abusive relationships and/or their family is so effed up. I just don't want to hear their drama.

Yes I did. I think people can be dealt a bad hand. But it does make me scratch my head that he's had "so many" psycho exes.

Im by no means a "normal" girl. I have my baggage and my issues. I don't cheat or anything like that. Im loyal and faithful. But I do have my baggage. I wouldnt be what you call "the girl next door." IF he really is a snake or anything of the sort, maybe he's attracted to me because I may be "dysfunctional" similarly to him? I dont know.. He just seems like a really nice guy and Ive been starving for a man to treat me right for so long..

So is the op asking if she herself is perceived to be in the same vain as the psychos? I mean if you were to go talk to his exes would they have any self awareness that they are indeed psychos. Is an interesting paradox.

The common denominator in a string of bad relationships is the one person to whom the bad things keeps happening.

In this case, it's him.

From his perspective, it might one day be you, as you do ID yourself as having a hx of "ugly dating."

Anyhow, I wouldn't be so alarmed about the crazy exes as I would be about him.

Buyer, beware.

I met this guy who Ive been seeing for over a month now and things seem to be going good. Hes a nice guy who actually seems like he's going to give me the love I know I deserve. I can be a bit superficial, but while he's not the "hottest" guy in my book, I love what he offers me. My goal is to settle down with a guy and that seems to be in his plans too. He seems like he genuinely cares about me. It's just...different from what I'm used to. Seems like a breath of fresh air. He has a a young daughter, and I have a young son. Our kids already get along well.

One thing rung a bell though. We were recently on a date and we were talking about our pasts and our past relationships. We were on the topic of exes, and he said about one of his exes (in passing) "yeah she came back and spray-painted my house." I said "what?" And he said, "Ahh.. I've had many psycho exes, i dont know how or why i always attracted them"

I thought it was weird and by the time I was about to interject, it was too late because he was already talking about something else. I just wanted to know, why? I still may ask him, but I would like advice from people on here if a statement like that is a red flag.
So you know you go for bad guys yet you introduce your child to a new man immediately?


This is the biggest red flag that I see here.

What makes you the psycho? You'll have your answer after the two of you part ways. If he self-proclaims that all his exes are psychos, then basically, you're the next one in line to receive that characterization.

I really wish single parents were more careful and thoughtful about protecting their own child(ren).
