My boyfriend is begging me to take him back. I ended it 8 weeks ago. We were together five years and have had our fair share of ups and downs. He’s a dickhead on drink. Not physical but can start arguments and be nasty. I got sick of it. He now says he will cut back on his drinking. He keeps telling me he loves me and I can’t bring myself to say it back. I feel he is jealous and controlling at times. I have a 21 year old daughter and I got sick of his resentment of me always putting her first. He now says he understands it and will alter this too. I think he can be lazy around his flat and smokes constantly in his flat around me which I hate. He says it’s his flat so he can smoke there if he likes. Thankfully, I don’t live with him. He has good points and has a good heart. I don’t want things to go back to the way they were even though we had some good times of course. I’m very reluctant. The reason I ended it was because we went round in circles time and again over the same issues. He thinks it can be resolved and forgotten about. He was nasty about my daughter on occasion to me and this has hurt me. He’s never said boo to her face. I don’t want the same old cycle. I need to decide and stick to my decision.
