My boyfriend and i have just got back together almost a month ago after he left me and our son just after new year.This was the 2nd time, the first being during the summer for 6 weeks, looking back it was obvious he was always going to come back that time but the 2nd time we both thought it was for good.We had been togethet 6 years.Met when i was 17 and he was 22.
He had started seeing a girl he worked with, who is his workmates ex, i met her when we were still together and instantly hated her, they lasted 9 months and had moved in together.When he left he says he loved me but wasn`t in love with me.I was heartbroken but just when i was almost over him he wanted to come back although he said he didnt set out to do it, we were having a birthday party for our son and basically he didnt leave, i saw him in tears and he said he didnt want to be with this girl, who i dont feel in the least bit sorry for as she knew he had a family when she set out to get him and got him she did!

Anyway after thinking about things i decided i did still have alot of feelings left for him and feel this is our last chance to be a family.
he drank heavy and stayed out all weekend when he worked in the call centre but he does now seem to have changed and admits that he wanted to live the single life along with everyone else he worked with, he has admitted that he isnt madly in love and i`m not either but we both feel 6 years is too much to just throw away, he says he`s falling back in love again and it`d be nice to believe him this time but i just dont know if i`ll ever be able to trust him again completely as he told me alot of lies in the past.
I do so want us to work this time but i admit i`m alittle scared incase it doesn`t as we`ve also got our son to think about, he promised he`d never leave us again.
Advice appreciated, thanx.

I actually believed that once a cheater always a cheater myself and vowed never to take him back!
But don`t we owe it to ourselves and our son to try and be a family again?Like i said he does seem to have grown up this time round and says he cant believe he left me for that girl and although he`s not one bit innocent he admits she knew what she was doing and he was too full of himself to see it, maybe because we have been together since we were young he needed to experience life with someone new to realise the grass isnt always greener, i dont want to sound like i`m making excuses for him because i`m certainly not and part of me still hates him for doing that to me.
