... what to wear, tell me what to spend, wouldn’t allow me to say hi to friends, isolated me from my family and friends, but yet, he would take care of me and make sure I’m ok. He barely did half of the things I’ve mentioned a month before I dumped him, but my dad’s friend saw him hit me recently. My ex now feels bad about breaking up with me. He was hurting himself to feel the same I did when he used to hit me out of anger. He claimed it was fear as well because he had nightmares of me dying. He wants to surprise me to take me back, and I don’t know if he’s really changed like he said he is. Was breaking up with him worth it?
