Do I take him back?
My now ex have been together for two years now. We met in high school. During college we became best friends then dated.
Me and him over the years had a lot of issues over the years, but so many good moments. And he was my best friend, we did everything together.
Through dating hes supported me through my toughest moments and I relied on him which meant a lot to me.
When it came to conflict this is when things went wrong, he would have trouble managing his emotions. On my birthday weekend he was drinking, we fought I left locked myself in the door and he started punching the walls 2-3 times. Never punching walls before that day some red flags have come up before.
I became unclear if I was staying to forgive (because lots of forgiving comes with long term relationships) or enabling.
After breaking up with him, all I can do it think about how I would love to give it another shot. It’s been almost two weeks of no contact atm and I miss my best friend.
He told me he promise he would change, that I’m the love of his life and that he’s so sorry. Do I take him back?
