Questions

We hang out with the same group of friends. He always makes a lot of comments and considerations about my personality, which annoys me a bit. A selection of things he said about me I can remember about:

- he often compares me to his mother

- He thinks “I know a lot of trivia” (not sure how to take that)

- He tends to think that I’m better at doing things than I actually am

- he sometimes comments my hobbies saying I’m ready to become a mom

- he once commented in a surprised way that I am more playful than he thought I would be

- he’s usually making compliments as to my abilities

- he’s usually very caring with me

- I’m pretty sure he talked to one of his male friends about me and complained that I am too independent as a woman (because his friend called me out about me not letting men be gallant with me and that’s something that I’ve already heard from him)

My (23F) ex (28M) and I recently got back into contact. He was my first boyfriend right out of high school. He is part of a program where he has to make amends. He admitted he tried to get me pregnant on purpose on many occasions. We grew up in the same neighborhood, we lived in a poor majority Latino area were single motherhood is the norm. He owns a good amount of real estates which he got paid in cash when we were together. He said he just wanted to have an "heir" to inherit all his assets once he was gone but didn't want to be a father or pay child support. I thought to myself that's horrible, looking back I had a lot of close calls with him. Should I forgive him?
