i wish he had as much respect for me as he does for his parents.
dw,
my ex used to say the same type of things. bottom line-he didn't respect his mother anymore than he did me or anyone else. He was using those lines to guilt me into taking him back. I very seriously doubt that your ah is so concerned with how they feel. Don't fall for it.
