Hey ladies! So I want to get your opinions on this relationship situation. I’ve been in my relationship for over 10 years and we have kids but we’re not married. We went through a lot of hurtful things and I’ve been feeling the need to let it go. However, we had a talk and he apologized for playing with my heart so many times (in his words) and now he wants to be better. Some of the things that we’ve been through were too hurtful to discuss here but I would like to know how you would respond in this situation.

I'm in a very similar situation. My partner and I were together 8 years, we separated for 2, and are back together now. A lot of hurtful things said and done between both of us. I moved back in at the beginning of May and I will say it's been extremely difficult to put those feelings aside and move forward on both sides. We've both had to work on forgiveness (still being worked on) and communicating with each other on how we feel. I think with age comes maturity, and that's a very key component to moving forward together, and for deciding whether it's time to move on. If you can't forgive and handle mistakes while improvements are made it may well be time to separate. The 2 years my partner and I spent apart gave us time to reflect and think and see the things we had missed about each other. I hope you get through this with some clarity.
