writes: I'd just like to know if people think that people really can change....Hi I'm 18 and I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years, but for the last 6 months he's been in prison. I decided to stick by him. Before he went in he had a very violent temper when drunk (never towards me), and as a result ended up in a young offenders institution. Although he was a lovely person when sober.Since being in prison he has spoken to counsellers and psychologists about things that happened to him in his childhood (you name it.. he went through it.) This is the first time he's ever spoken to anyone about all these things. He now says that because of this he's sorted his head out and now is looking towards the future and is looking forward to keeping on the 'straight and narrow'.Is this just wishful thinking? He gets out in november, and I am going to university at the end of the month. I have told him I'll wait for him. He knows he has one more chance, otherwise I'm not willing to stick by him anymore.I hope so much that was he says is true, but am i being naive in thinking that he really has changed?

To me I think he is leading you on to believe BS mind you this is coming from some one who has dated a drunk and he was not violent with me at first but at the end he almost killed me and my children So be careful when deciding to stay or go.
