Forgiveness is not the same thing as accepting abuse.

If someone does something bad, then accepts his or her error and apologizes, forgiveness is appropriate.

He may be "acting nice" but he is not changing his ways, he is just perpetuating the cycle. His "niceness" is part of his manipulation and is therefore part of his abuse, not an escape from it.

One cannot "apologize" yet continue doing that which one has apologized for, and expect to be forgiven.

Look back at your posts here. If you click on your own name at the left of your post, the info screen that comes up has a link to all the posts that you have made on the board. Try going through them and then decide if he is truly understanding of the hurt he has caused and plans to change... or if he is just going around in circles to keep you close to him.
