I had a work partner for 4 months. We got really close. I. e, he knows things about me that no one else does. After we got split, I could tell that something was off when we saw each other, but when asked he'd say we were fine. I wanted to believe him, and had no reason not to. I could tell he was mad a couple times, but he always said he forgave me and moved on. Some of his friends HATE me, but they dislike everyone. I just figured something was going on with him that he wasn't ready to share. So it was rollar coaster-y all summer. Then they tried to put us back together, and he freaked. We had a massive fight, and he basically said not to speak to him again. He accused me of a LOT. Like 80% of it was total bull. 10%ish was semi-true but he was upset about the why, which he had TOTALLY misread. The other 10% is on me. I do feel bad, and I'm working on it. I'd even already apologized for most of it. Well, yesterday I was there for someone he really cares about when they got hurt and I told him about the injury. He thanked me a TON, to the point of tears. After work he unblocked me and texted a really great apology. I apologized for not being the nicest (to his credit, he had tried to be kind several times. I knew he felt bad, but I was barely civil.) and said I forgave him. Today, he was mega nice, kept smiling/waving when we passed, and he asked about stuff I have going on. I brought the situation up, but he likes forgiving and forgetting. He pretty much said it's past, forgiven, and that the opinions of others didn't help. But I'm having a hard time trusting him. I already had trust issues. He lied for MONTHS about us being okay, and held onto it until he blew. He never heard my side. I don't see how he had massive issues with me, thinking I'm a lying, manipulative, people using, attention seeking creep and just switched to genuinely liking me. I truly forgive him. I'm not mad, just hurt. But should I trust him? Does he still think that about me?
Had a fight 2 months ago, he said awful things about me, and I've been avoiding him. He apologized. Should I trust him? Does he still think that?
