I’m a 24-year-old woman, and my boyfriend is 26. We’ve been together for over a year. Six months into our relationship, we had our first f!ght, and he slapped me. He apologized and promised it would never happen again. At that time, I also found out he was a big flirt, always collecting numbers from girls on Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat. He apologized, deleted their contacts, and blocked them. Recently, we had another f!ght, and I was the first to hit him with my bag. He retaliated by slapping me three times and later apologized. But now I feel like things will get worse when we marry since we’re planning to get married next year. Recently, I checked his phone and discovered he was cheating again. He even made a list of women he wants to sleep with, as he’s competing with his friend, who’s also cheating.
He kept denying it until I sent him evidence. He couldn’t say anything but beg me. I find it hard to forgive him and don’t know if I should continue the relationship. I know nobody is perfect, and there’s no guarantee the next person I meet will be different. But do you think he can change? I really love him, but I’m scared of getting hurt. I’m very fragile and emotional, and little things can break me down and cause depression. By the way, I’m financially stable because I run my own business, earning N300k-N500k monthly. I take care of myself and pay my bills, and he supports me occasionally. I’m not with him for the financial aspect; I just love him, and he’s always there for me when I’m down, and I do the same for him. Please, I need your opinion. Thanks.
