Should I give him another chance?
I met my partner 8 years ago he had a 2 year old daughter he was sole parent for. I took on responsibility of his daughter and have been her mother for 8 of her now 10 years. We have had a generally good relationship... money issues, ups and downs but have generally been OK. Her birth Mother came to visit her Daughter in Feb of this year (first time in 4 years as we live abroad) and I was appaulled and upset by how I was treated during her weeks visit. I was shown no respect, he openly flirted with her in front of me and took her out for a meal and drinks on her final day here. I reacted with anger and told him I could not be with him and moved to my son's for a few days to calm down. Within 3 days, he had re-flown his ex wife here and moved her into my house. I cut of contact from that point and had nothing more to do with either him or the daughter we raised together for 3 months. I was bitterly upset and angry at what he had done to me and still am, but recently he regained contact through a friend. The relationship with his ex came to a big full stop very, very quickly (within 2 weeks) and he is quite literally begging for forgiveness. I am getting love letters, flowers, declarations of forgiveness on Facebook etc etc etc. I am convinced he knows he made a huge mistake and was emotionally immature about the whole thing. Are all men so stupid? Is the devil I know better than the one I don't. In most aspects, he was a good partner. Help!
