My boyfriend and I are on a break from our relationship because he tried to manipulate me in the past. He told me I wouldn't find anyone else who would be as patient as him if I were to break up with him and repeatedly sounded patronizing when we were discussing about deep subjects together. I wanted to break up with him immediately, then I noticed he acknowledged his mistakes before apologizing and now he's trying his best to avoid hurting me. I love him because I can see he's really willing to grow up for me, but I can't get over what he said when we were fighting. Recently he's been crying a lot because he wants our relationship to continue, should I forgive him and give him another chance?

>>120571With his past it is hard to say if he is being genuine or just trying to guilt trip you into being with him because he will "change". If you are sure that he is really trying then bring up the subject that upsets you and talk with him about it. But in my opinion its not worth staying with him.

People don't just change. His words are made-up, his actions are telling the truth.

Guhh I hate that. It's always just words. They never actually do anything.

>>120571Honestly unless you say similar shit to him then no, that was completely uncalled for and he said that fully aware of what he was saying. Don't stockholm yourself for him, find other options right now and once you're secure, break things off with him.

>>120571Words are just words to guys he probably never intended to make ypu feel belittled at all if he's truly expressing a desire to change for you shouldn't you atleast give him a chance to?

>>120571Forgive him if you think he's genuine. Everyone makes mistakes and as long as he's willing to grow up, forgiveness is an option. My last relationship got ruined for the same reason cus my SO wasn't willing to move on or forgive me even if I bettered myself. Now I'm happy in a new relationship where I've not made the same mistakes, I changed but he wasn't willing to accept it. ofc it isnt true for everyone but see both sides of the coin
