Old Habits

I talked to my ex on the phone and he told me that he did not know how much he cared about me til now. I cried a little after I  hung up because it hurt, I dont like hearing him in pain and I love him still. I know I am making the right decision and dont want to repeat patterns of my past. You hear the words way to late but wanted to hear earlier. He is not right for me and I believe he took advantage of me and is missing all the things I did for him. I know he loves me but our lives wont fit together because its all about him and not any of my needs. I dont need the critisism and all the other crap I have talked about before. My frind says you are going to go back to him and I need support right now not negative saying. There might be a heart that still loves him but I am trying to change the way I have always handled breakups. Listening and believing things can be different if he finally knew how much I meant. It never turns out right when I go back. I am not going back no matter how much I love him. Because I want to be treated better and appreciated and respected. I need encouragement......
