thank you for your kind words. Tears or not, there will be people who will take advantage on you if you are not sure of yourself and your boundaries. Every part of us has some trauma that we all have to overcome and reconcile with. What is important as you said, to recognise it and break the cycle yourself. ☺️ As for men who truly shows remorse, they will have my respect even more. If they are my partner then I'd be more inclined to protect what we have. We all make mistakes, what is important how we learn from it (together as a couple), what we can tolerate (boundaries) and if there is indeed future for both of you (walk the talk). Showing remorse is one thing, whether one can learn from it by showing through their actions is another thing. Based on their behaviours going forward, you adjust what you know about that person or your partner. ☺️
