My ex wants to get back together even though this would be the 4th time we've tried. He thinks we were too scared to fully commit to the relationship in the past. He's treated me badly in the past, but should I try again?

I think you're going to run into this problem with a lot of guys... Most guys who take advantage of your generosity and forgiving nature can easily recognize it and will almost always capitalize on it.

Stiffen up that backbone and stop taking crap from these guys and you'll do just fine with anyone you want to be with.

Almost all guys are trainable. We learn early what we can and can't get away with, then we push those limits...

When my wife (then, my girlfriend) finally put her foot down to my bullcrap, I straightened up and have walked the line ever since because I know now what she expects.

It's easy math now... If I get too far out of line, she'll leave me. I respect her a lot more now. I treat her WAY better now.

Lay down the law. You really have the power if you believe you have it.

****Note****
(and though I do still like to push her buttons every now and then, my charming smile gets me out of it occasionally =)
