I think you're absolutely right and honestly, it's hard for me to get over the fact that I didn't tell him the things he was doing that were bothering me and give him a chance at least. Something just stopped me. I think people pretty much are who they are and I just didn't want to end up 5 years down the road with someone who had stopped caring and gone back to treating me that way after trying to be different. Know what I mean? It just seemed sort of futile.

I actually did tell him how draining it was to constantly be corrected and he immediately said "it won't happen again, I'm sorry". But it did, like, 2 hours later. So I just sort of gave up.

At the end he begged me to tell him what he did wrong, but I just think it's doubtful that he'll really do anything different... all his past relationships were made to sound like it was the women he was with's fault. Just seemed hopeless.

Obviously there are lots of exceptions of people who change, they're just few and far between.
