You don't have to. Unless you choose to. I would learn from the past and not engage in the same dance, with the same patterns, and the same outcome. Saying he wants to change and/or love you is not enough. What is he doing to
prove to you that these are not empty words.

He said he doesn't want my dreams lost, he said he wanted to fix things and so on.

That doesn't mean you have to get back with him. IF he wants to 'fix things', he needs to fix
himself first. Once he is relationship material (he clearly isn't now) then it is up to you to decide whether you want him in your life or not. You are 'allowed' to move on and be happy.
Honestly, if it's been going on for for 7-8 years, I think you already saw his true colours. Set your boundaries and only be with someone who knows the meaning of love and respect. This man is abusive and manipulative. That is most certainly not love that he claims to have for you.
