What would you think of this person?

What would you think of a person that had repeatedly cheated in different relationships?
What if they had abandoned their own child?
If they had also been to court a couple of times for theft including stealing from work?
Can people like this change?

Yes I suppose it's not like his mum and his family can disown him but it annoys me that they are making him look credible, like a normal person, although his mum is a liar and a cheat too so I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
He doesn't really have friends, the ones I've known about he either conned or owed them money, only one I met was a work colleague he was using to cover up his affair. He changes jobs so often, usually shown the door for theft or misconduct that colleagues can't see the pattern.
Not really sure what the point of this thread was. On one hand I would like him to change and settle down and never hurt anyone else. On the other I want him and that woman to get what's coming to them.

Would you really have listened to a random person talking negatively about your oh, when you thought the sun shone out of his backside?

He probably only seri undo himself with people who adore him, hence the lack of friends.

At least you are well rid of him now.

People can change. Some are driven/drawn in by circumstances. Those that want to change recognise they're faults, feel remorse (big one there) and do everything they can to better themselves and don't fall off the wagon - they're easy to spot.

OPs is just as easy to spot. Not a chance in hell.

Yes I am well rid of him, I'm relieved he's gone. But I sometimes feel like I will never be rid of the damage he's done to me. And that makes me sad and bloody angry, with myself too.
I'm trying to change it to a positive by making changes and becoming a better person, if anything just so I don't fall for somone else like this again.
Wish I didn't care but I can't help wondering if he'll ever stop.

Why do you think that you're so concerned about him changing?
