Things are different - why can't he see that?

After being with my boyfriend for 5 year, he proposed. 5 months before our wedding he broke it off. 15 years later (he was married, 3 kids, and then got divorced) he contacted me. We are back together, but it has been difficult...especially with the kids ( I ended up not having any at all). He hasn't changed and expects me to just be fine with the "old" friends and forget how badly he hurt me and how difficult it was to lose his family and all of our friends. I think we should be treating this second time around as a new relationship and instead he has become a little too "comfortable" - he didn't even want to do anything for Valentines day - when I know if he was with someone "new" he would have. I have forgiven him, but forgetting is tougher and I am working on it. He seems to have forgotten what happened and I feel like we're an old married couple - it's only been a year....

The foolish neither forgive nor forget, the naive both forgive and forget, the wise forgive but never forget. Remember that as you make your choice.
