Hello everyone,

This is my first post ever, and I dont know I guess I am just looking for some advice...I have been in a relationship for about a year and a half. We were best friends for about six months before we decided to become a couple.

I guess things have always been rocky just because we fight all the time and argue and its usually him that does all the yelling and actual fighting. There was never any physical abuse but he would always say nasty and hurtful and mean things when we did fight. Once, he did reaise his hand but never actually ever did anything physical to me.

He would constantly hang up on me when he got angry (this is a semi long distance relationship)...and he would always leave and go back home if I ever got upset and cried or anything. If everything wasant the way he wanted and wished, things were not ok and that would turn into a big argument and fight. Also, I tried several times in the past to tell him that his behavior bothered me and that he was very mean and hurtful to me and that it wasant right for him to treat me that way.

Things went on and now I just got fed up with everything and wanted to break up with him. As soon as I told him, he did a complete 180. He has been crying on hte phone and non stop emails about how he has completely changed now and that he cannot live without me and all this stuff. I am totally confused.

I feel like I was emotionally abused for the time that we were in the relationship. He never paid any attention to how much he was hurting me or anything, and now that he feels pains he wants me to believe that he has completely changed. Is it possible that he has changed? SHould I give him this one last chance that he is asking for? Or is it just a vicious cycle and I should get out now? I just owrry that I wotn find anyone like him again...I wont find a family like his again. I am just so lost...I dont kow what to do! Please help me! Thank you very much.

Confused....
