My grandmother had a saying if you keep putting apple pie in the oven you will never take out chocolate cake. in other word nothing changes you get together and he cheats and you get divorced again and again and now may be again, If nothing has changed what will the end of this story be you will get back togethere and he will cheat and you will get divorced. What is it going to take for you to see the pattern you have made. and that is where you need to start to work on.

you know, i understand that completely and deep down feel it will not be good for me to be with him. i tend to pick the easy way out that alwaysends up giving me the worst ending. i plan on moving in with him as just roomates, as i need the financial help right now, but my plan is to just stay that way long enough to save and finish college. i may be just kidding myself, but i think as long as i keep myelf in the mode of we are just roomates and don't expect anything from him, then i will keep it simple. he has made it clear we won't talk about what we are or what were not...fine! i can do that too. that way theres no connection...i'm making sure that he can't have his cake and eat it too. i think thats what his motive is...
