In hindsight, I feel foolish for having let him back in my life one last time. I was weakened by life circumstances, I leaned on him, and he was there to catch me. Then it all turned out to be one long act of manipulation.

What gets me the most is his continued argument that he wasn't himself after I called the police and that's why he had an affair (of sorts). Yet, previously, he had promised me many times over that he would let me know if there was a problem - he did not! Instead, he had an affair. A-hole. And somehow, I am to blame for having called the police. His behavior is not excusable. After also promising 100 times that he would never step out of line with another woman, and then he does? He is not trustworthy... he breaks all promises, which are just empty promises in the end.

And he tried to get me to believe he's changed without any therapy? How stupid does he think I am?
