I am truly sorry for you. It sounds like the guy was under a lot of stress and probably acting some ways that he normally would not have under normal circumstances. I am sorry that you had to be sorta, "the punching bag". I am sure after things settle down, he will look back with regret. I think everyone after a certain time can look back and see the mistakes they made. That is growth and good for you so you don't make the same mistakes twice. You said in the end you realized where you or who you belong with and that is the most important thing. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. You might not see it at first, but you will eventually see it. So please, for your sake let the bitterness go so you don't make the person you are with pay for the mistakes of the last guy you were with. Good luck and some of these post have been pretty good.
