Break Up & Divorce

Why is it that even when he tries to make me feel more special than other women I still feel as though he’s lying?

The father of my one month old child was abusive toward me while I was five months pregnant so I left him the remaining of my pregnancy. After I had him, I finally decided that he could see him and be apart of his life, of course with changes so I know our son will be safe. My entire pregnancy, because he was blocked, he was texting me from text free numbers, apologizing, asking me to forgive him, asking about the health of our son and how my pregnancy was going. I ignored him up until I had him. Even if we don’t ever get back together I figured my son deserves a chance to bond with him and that I wouldn’t mind giving him a second chance to make things right as a father. So my son and I spent a few days at his house. In those few days we co parented fine. Making bottles, keeping up with feeding times, changing him, putting him down for bed etc but often he would bring up how he did mess around with other women when we were apart and claimed whenever they would ask about me, because for some reason at one point during my pregnancy he made me his profile picture on Facebook and all the women I suppose he was messing with at the time questioned who I was, especially since I was pregnant in the picture. He claims he would make sure he would speak highly of me and let them know they couldn’t take my place and admitted to them on what he did and how he messed up and why I left etc and then starts to talk about how he wants us to be a family and how he’s changing his violent/abusive ways and has been in online counseling/therapy but it’s hard to believe because I’ve heard it all before.

Why is it that even when he tries to make me feel more special than other women I still feel as though he’s lying?
