Search Results: sharing feelings

me and my boyfriend have been together a year or so and tbh things have been edgy and very toxic, only recently we've spoke and had a deep discussion about having more communication and sharing chores of the house and talking about being open about our feelings... After this conversation things have changed for the better. BUT and I mean But... does this really now make up for the times he has called me names, been too possessive, not supportive and lazing about letting me do everything, not letting me go out with friends and being extremely rude and just angry towards me for the past year. (emotional abuse I'd call this.) when we sat down and spoke he could not admit he was wrong easily, it took an hour or so before he understood how shit he's been treating me over the time and his behaviour has somewhat changed for the better; but I'm worried he may fall back into bad habits of taking me for granted or just going back to being lazy and uncooperative. It's hard to explain but our tenancy of the house we are in runs out in October and I'm not sure if I want to sign for another twelve months to live with him or if I should go back to my parents. I know I'm not a saint but I have been faithful and loyal to only him I've been giving him my all and I always have admitted and apologised if I'd done anything out of line myself. It's not till now after communication properly (that's without him sitting in silence and trying to pin guilt or blame on me.) he has changed but has he or will things go back to being the same after I sign another twelve months of my life away?
