Why do people defamate their ex? Why do they point out their physical flaws?

My ex called me a pyscho path and aswell a midget, a oompa loompa. Did he think those things going out with me. Why did he say he loves me but found me so unattractive. There was plenty of times he said I was beautiful. Caressing my face making me feel loved. Makes me think I am never going to be loved. How do you be attracted to someone who is not pleasing to your eyes? Oh he left me for a boy.

-defamate, i though that meant to break down someones selfworth and there character, so that others think they are a piece of crap

    They haven't learned yet that... What you say about others says more about yourself.

    Sweetie you are a Divine Spark of our Creators Love and quite frankly your ex was not worthy of you. Find someone who will treat you as the Goddess Spark that you are.

    As for you ex calling you names it was just so he didn't have to take responsibility for himself. It was just easier to blame you than admit his own short comings. Again not the behavior a Divine Goddess Spark deserves.

    idk but I think its cruel cause its true if you are with someone its because you love everything about them even their flaws ppl just find it easier to demolish a person to feel good about themselves ive come to learn that no matter how crummy is the person one still embraced a union together so there were good things about the person as well as bad but we dealt with them outta love for the person but once thru they seem to find its ok to throw up what annoyed them in any case I wouldn't stoop to that level don't let it get to you he was being immature n obviously confused your fine n beautiful inside out don't pay no mind to those foolishness its not you seriously its him its called insecurities you see you are who you are but he still has to fight his demons hun you were probably sure n secure of yourself n he wasn't that's all

    He has a weak character. Needs to make you feel bad to make himself feel good. Also to make the whole break-up idea like a good call.
    Or maybe he thinks it's a brilliant idea to hurt your feelings, so you won't miss him and move on.
    Either way, ignore him, move on.

    just so they feel good and not bad about the situation that has happened between you's when he put you down let him if it matters to you then your going to spend most if not all your time thinking about it know this he'll be back maybe not this year but maybe some time in the future people will know what he is really like then he will be on his own even if he is married because what he found in you, and loved you for it, he can never have with anyone else but you, and it will play on his mind from time to time of that im sure

    he probably sees it as a "if i cant have you no one can" situation.
    when a guy gets rejected he feels emasculated, in denial, and sees it as an attack on him causing him to try to make you feel lower than what he is at currently.

    It seems that he has succeded in doing so. " Makes me think I am never going to be loved." that is exactly what he intended to do so, to make you feel like you are pathetic person that cant be happy even if you didnt feel that way before.

    Ignore what he said, there's nothing wrong with being a psychopath, almost everybody is a psychopath but some are just more expressionate about it.
    Being short is nothing to be ashamed about, it just means that you are as what the psychopaths call these days "fun sized".

    He might have or not have said it with intent, but i don't know your relationship between you two.

    Some a-holes feel it's necessary and acceptable to demonize their ex in almost comically overdrawn ways to protect their ego after a breakup.

    He just found out his flaws, his introspection is making his self esteem hit the floor. Dont worry too much.... They are an ex for a reason

    Women by nature are wanting or needing to explore the opposite things of what they have already only to return to it later or go back to it.
