snugglysenior: If he or she said "I've changed" would you take them them back?
my ex of twentfive years ago just told me that as I was talking to our daughter, I said thats good that you have ,but though to my self (yea right whever),so no ,nope ,never
Just "saying" you've changed proves nothing. I've been told that way too often & fallen prey to it. If someone wants to change badly enough, I believe it's possible. But I think, for me personally, it'd probably take months, if not years to prove they've actually done it.
My ex was an alcoholic. He once stopped drinking for 6 months, only to start back up. After I left him, he'd actually quit for 2 years. But then started back up again.
I could never trust that, even if he quit for YEARS, something might not trigger him to start again.
No. Whatever may have cause me to get away from her is probably something that I felt initially is a major issue. Most people can't change basic issues in their lives. In my opinion the issue would come back and cause you the same pain again.
