He very rarely apologizes. Maybe 2 or 3 times in the span of five years. He did acknowledge that he was wrong to treat me that way and that he acted out of anger. I don't think he ever learned how to love someone else. His mom was an alcoholic, his dad (a drug addict) left before he was two and he was practically raised by a manipulative grandmother who used him only to get what she wanted and lied to him to get what she wanted. So I do believe, that in his own way, his apology was genuine, however I don't believe that after all this time he should be treating me this way when he gets mad. We've had the same argument a thousand times about how you treat people you love, and how meanness is unacceptable. He refuses to seek help and he refuses to change and I refuse to leave. We're both messed up.
