Input:  Me (23F) and my ex boyfriend (23M) have been broken up for over 8 months now. We were dating for 3 years. Our relationship has been great until the ending when I started to not trust him anymore. I have listed a few of the reasons why below

​

\- He started talking to this girl at his work that started to like him. She confessed her love to him and he told me he did not like her. Later I find out that over the few months they were friends, he never once mentioned me.

\- He wanted to go to the movies with her and her and asked for my permission (obviously I said no). I appreciate him asking me, but throughout our 3 years of dating, he never wanted to go to the movies with me.

\- He came over to my house and told me he doesn't love me as much as he used to, but doesn't want to break up. Apparently he felt this way a few months before telling me.

\- He would never allow me to go to parties with or without him.. Which was fine because both of us don't like parties. Towards the end of our relationship, he started to go to parties with his one friend without me and did not care about my opinion. His friend told him that he kissed someone when my ex says he did not.

​

I ended up breaking up with him. It was so hard to let go. He realized he messed up and noticed how wrong he was. Meanwhile he was telling me all of this with a hickey on his neck from a party he went to when when we first broke up. We gave our relationship another try. After a week I saw no change and he just seemed back to his old self and not showing much affection. So I broke up with him again. While I was crying in the car breaking up with him, he told me to hush because he heard a nice exhaust driving by.

Fast forward 7 months and he still texts me every now and then saying how much of a mistake he made. I know its genuine because I can tell how hurt he is by us not being together. I know he learned from his mistakes. He hasn't been the same without me and now I feel like I was being too harsh for breaking up with him after 3 years. I feel bad about not wanting him back, but I will always have love for him. But then I think about all of the things he has put me through. AITA for this? Should I have continued with our relationship and tried to work things out when we have been together for so long?
