I've discovered that two people can be awesome people but still totally wrong for each other. My ex made me a controlling, jealous person and I didn't like the person i was when we were together. separately, we're both good people, we just bring out the worst in each other.

And coming from a "broken" home I can tell you that i saw the anger in my parents marriage and, even though i'm messed up, i think i'd be a lot worse if they hadn't split up. it was obvious that they didn't love each other and living in a home like that is worse than having divorced parents.

also, I think the fact that he forgave you so quickly is a sign that he doesn't care. even though it's pretty absurd to expect someone to just up and change, he should WANT to. even though my boyfriend is goofy and silly and I know he'll always be that way I don't ask him to change or quit being so goofy all the time, but he at least says that he tries and he wants to change. you get what I'm saying? you love the person for who they are but it's still nice to have them WANT to be a better person for you? if he shows no interest in that i'd say he's pretty much given up on the marriage.
