She said she tried this and was put on a gulit trip.. in short- was manipulated into continuing . For whatever reasons the guy was not interested in letting her go- at least not at her terms or did not want to be dumped by her.I honestly can't help but notice the immaturity some people bring into this convo. Echopain touched the subject, and although you're already through with him, in an arguably immature way, I believe you have made yourself an enemy, and it could have been prevented, or the effect minimized at least
He made you feel guilty when you showed doubt right? It's clear as day that he was then lying, since normally, one would try to explain himself, not transfer the feelings of having been in the wrong to his 'loved' one. Explaining all this to him and telling him how it made you feel uncomfortable and then decisively breaking up, would have probably been enough, were he mature enough to grasp it. I shan't dig any deeper into this, it was solved in your way, and it's not a way I want to become more familiar with.
Such people who are openly playing around and yet want to keep one steady GF on the side have their own personal issues. And frankly, they or the neutral people around have no idea what the other person in the relationship with such people goes through.
I agree with you that she could have tried it in more controlled manner but sometimes it's good to let your bottled up anger go. What's done is done- no use crying over it. She may explain that bit if he talks to her again but I think he already knows and not worth it.
