    red, it's more how he's been acting - getting drunk, basically ignoring me, coming in much later than he says he will, taking drugs. I just feel I can't trust him 100% and I know it shows, I've told him how I feel and he needs to regain my trust....but I want to see how long this "new" him lasts....

    I guess you just have to give it some time then if he is trying to change, know it's hard though.

    It's, I know he's trying to change, but part of me is thinking "It isn't going to last....he will turn back into the person he used to be" and the other is thinking "give him a chance, you need to do that". I'm just puzzled. I can't get through it in my head and it's annoying now...

    Yup, he knows if he messes up or takes coke again, I am gone the next day, and I've told him this....But so far, it seems to be going OK.

    stop trying to get it through your head, just relax be your (loverly) self and go with the flow,

    concentrate on your exams and just try and enjoy the time you are together.

    I have one exam in a week and a half and I need to revise 4 areas to go with the 2 I've done....I am actually enjoying it as I'll sit down and watch as many of the films as I can over that time (when I go home...either Sunday or Monday, I'll discuss it with Pint as to which would cause me less stress) so I might watch one or two here.

    I'm not loverly, I'm completely mental.

    Wise words Gonzo :) Sometimes it's best to accept that you can't totally understand or decide on a situation and just go with that for a while.
