Anybody know someone like this?

[Crazy Dave]

A neighbor of mines wife of less than a year leaves him for another man and gets a divorce, said wife is now 3 - 4 months pregnant with new husband's kid but now cheats on him with the first guy (the neighbor), said neighbor meets a new girlfriend and she moves in after about a week of knowing eachother, said pregnant ex-wife says to get that bitch out of her house (?!?) or she will quit cheating on her new husband (and child's father?) with him, he complies, kicks new love of his life out and now waits for ex-wife to call when she needs her car payment made or just to have fun manipulating him, he then wants everybody to feel sorry for him and tells everyone that he's going to tell that cheating bitch to leave him alone and let him live his own life......as he's been saying everyday since about August.

Edit - Changed thread title

1. How about heartbroken and emotionally vulnerable?

It's not easy to just turn off love, and it hurts like hell to deny it--even when you KNOW it's not good for you. Give him a break. Given some time, he'll get over her and stop allowing her to manipulate him.

2. "Give him a break"?

How so? I don't get involved with his silliness and he doesn't accept any reasonable advice. Me (and the rest of the neighborhood) only listen to how bad things are for him. Nobody has anything to do with his problems that he's created for himself.

Edit - but re-reading the subject title again is a little derogatory, I agree and changed the title.

3. I guess I just meant

try not to judge him too harshly. Perhaps I empathize with him--I had an ex that took me a long time to get over too. I know how easy it is to rationalize and excuse outrageous behavior from someone you're emotionally vulnerable to.

I hope your friend/neighbor comes to his senses soon.

4. I had hopes for him when he met the new girlfriend

But he blew that chance. Plus he was cheating on her too with his ex so he really didn't deserve to be with her.

5. That's true. Plus cheating of any kind is a disease risk.

If he has unresolved issues with the ex and is still physically intimate with her, he shouldn't be putting any new girlfriends at risk like that. A broken heart is bad, but an incurable case of the herp is a lot worse.
