I dated a LVM for years. He had many good traits (loyal, liked to spoil me), but he also had anger issues, little empathy for others, and rarely helped with chores. I dumped him when he became verbally abusive.

The last year since we broke up he’s been going to therapy and anger management, and he’s truly committed to it. I’ve noticed a huge difference in his behavior. He’s able to manage his anger and he’s become a better person. He wants to get back together, he’s patient about it and there haven’t been any red flags to signal he’s just putting on a show. Has he transformed into a HVM?
