My question is do i stay with him?? I love him, but my heart won't let me forget all of the pain he caused. He suppose to be coming home next month. He supposedly has his act together and is talking about starting a family next year. He tells me that i need to keep the past in the past and to move forward with our future, but how can i trust him?? In the past i use to hold on to his every word and all he did was let me down. I love him but i can't go down that road again
If you can't go down that road again, then don't. Break off the relationship if you feel you can't trust him.
I've heard about the pain. The only "good" thing I've heard is your name tattooed on his back.
Why else do you stay?
Please stop opening new threads with the same question. >threads merged<
Both of these guys sound like very bad "boyfriend/husband" material.
I don't see the good points of either of them.
If the boyfriend with the child breaks off his relationship with the child's mother and then takes up with you, that's one thing. If he walks from her bed to yours, that's a very bad idea for many reasons. If you are afraid to be in his company because you'll cheat on your boyfriend (who is in jail), then you have no right to criticize your boyfriend for cheating. You are contemplating doing the same thing.
I think you need to get yourself figured out before you date either one of these people.
