Is this normal man behavior after a break up? Is he covering up his true feelings?

Question

My ex and I broke up almost 4 months ago. I left him even though I was 4 months pregnant.
Since then, i have only talked to him a few times. He acts as though he doesnt see me when he is around me. Has begun seeing other women, actually quite slutty women. He asked me about my doctor appts once but pretty much just acts like he doesnt care one way or the other and says quite mean things at times to me.
A guy friend who knows him says that guys deal with things differently than women. That he does care about me and this baby, but is acting like he dont because thats how guys handle things when they are hurting over something.
Just wondered if this is true for some or all guys?

Please dont reply with "move on, u and your baby deserve better stuff". I know all this. My focus is on my child right now, but, i just thought i would ask.
Just want honest answers concerning my question please. Especially from the fellas out there. Thanks

I need input from the guys out there who arent good handling emotions. Thanks

Answer 1

you did mention that you left him. Seems like you have expectations. I always thought that if I can control anticipation and expectation, I can master stress. It's helping.

Now, lots of people irrespective of gender do things in spite and that's when they hook up with rebounds. I used to thrive on these rebound thing - I got laid by the hottest babes. It never lasts. He is going through this phase but bet you a dollar that he cares and it's hard for him. I know this because he is using the 'ignore' tactic. He is expecting you to break. You do seem concerned and curious. Normal behavior
