I'm not saying he doesn't believe what he's saying,BUT... I'd slow it way down and watch his action..not words.. I'd also be very cautious to not fall back into the relationship and become his 'warden'..been there and it's as draining,if not more so,than dealing with an active addict,cheater,lier,ect..Way more 'work' than any relationship is worth! IMO/experience.
