I’m not going to read the other posts but I’ll say that you can change, you can offer forgiveness, but you don’t need to stay in an unhappy relationship to do either of those things
Sometimes, people can be toxic together, even if they aren’t bad people and even if they aren’t toxic in other relationships. In those cases, it’s best to move on and find a better match, while learning from your mistakes
For your own good, please never see this person again. He was already pushy and manipulative from minute one, and then got to literally abusive. And that’s all within a few dates when he’s supposed to be on his best behavior!
I say this gently – you speak like someone who feels they would rather be in a bad relationship than be alone. But I promise you, being in a bad relationship like this one would be, will make you far more lonely than being single ever will.
Run, don’t walk. This person will only (and has already) cause you pain.
This is not how relationships work. You can't just demand that your partner feels / doesn't feel a certain way for a month. Also why would you need to encourage him to clean up after himself? He's a grown man. I think you're better off without him.
Your points are valid. I'm not sure at this point whether I should bury what I know about mom or tell my husband.
OP fucked around and is finding out. Respect to her ex for a clean break instead of dragging out the inevitable with a cheater.
Do you know the difference between assault and SA? Because it doesn't seem like you do…

You broke Up right?

I don't think this particular OP will seek divorce without getting the therapy first.
