So it's been quite some time since I broke up with my ex due to problems with his adult kids being manipulative, financially dependent; and one being disrespectful to him and the relationship we had (also verbally abusing him and demanding money), and so forth. I made it clear the relationship is over a while ago. It's obvious we were never meant to be together,in part because of the situation with his adult kids. I even told him to find someone like him or whose situation is similar to his situation. Instead he tries to remain in contact with me. Just wondering why he keeps trying to come back rather than finding a partner who is more compatible with him. Has anyone else had this happen?
