You do NOT owe him endless "re-do's"; you have a life of your own and a responsibility to yourself.

It might help to remember that you are not the source of the problem, even though I'm sure he will tell you that you are. He made the choices he made, and as an adult, he had every right to make them. However, as an adult, he also gets to face the consequences of those choices. He brought that on himself, not you or your lack of compassion or lack of understanding or general cruelty or whatever he might choose to accuse you of on any given day.
I have been broken up with XRAF and he has tried to work so much guilt on me for not getting back together. He literally doesn’t see (or doesn’t want to see) how much he betrayed my trust, hurt me, and disrespected me, especially after the breakup. Yet I still feel bad. Part of me still loves him.

I am beyond grateful I have my own place now because otherwise I think it would be too easy to get sucked back In.
