Search Results: being open with boyfriend

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?

Okay so i have strong feelings that my boyfriend like my friend again. Before we started dating we were good friends and we both crushed on different people, his crush being our friend but she wasn't interested in dating anybody. later on we started to develop feeling for eachother and we started to date. We've been dsring for five months now, after summer passed and school is now open its like we've become distance (even our friends noticed) and it made me sad I talked to him about it and he said that we were fine. For the past to weeks I've noticed how he interact with her and would look at her. I told two of my other close friends about it and ask them to watch and see if it look a that way to them and they said "yea it kinda does". I haven't confronted him about though but I still like him a lot a lot and I don't want us to break up but it makes me cry everytime I think about the situation (about him liking her) and I don't know what to do. Everyone is welcome to give advice
