Mine promised to change, admitted he was wrong and begged for another chance (this was before we had our younger daughter). He changed long enough for me to feel comfortable and then right back to his old self. Sometimes it's so hard to see what is happening from the inside of the relationship and (no offense guys) us girls always feel like it is our job to make the relationship work. The fact of the matter is, if they are not willing to work just as hard as we are to make things work, it never will. Whatever you decide to do, just be VERY, VERY careful and always remember that when you are at a low spot, it won't matter how many people reach out to help you, YOU have to grab their hands and pull yourself up. The relationship I was in showed me that I needed to be strong for me and for my girls. The good news is, my 15 yr old is starting to date and just broke up with her "boyfriend" because he was becoming controlling and jealous of her other friends. She recognized the problem and dealt with it in short order. I am so very proud of her!!!!
