I disagree with hagatha, at least partially. You have told us that your boyfriend is now more aware of his past actions and the underlying emotions with it, katyg. So this is a great step forward and I praise him for doing that, telling it to you honestly, and promising to make improvements on his behaviour. If he has a lot of determination and hard work, he will definitely become better. I think you have enough wisdom to know when it is good to continue the relationship and when it is good to stop.
Sultana made a very good idea that you should keep a journal so you know the progress. At first, he might have some more emotional fluctations and bad temper while he tries to get used to his promises. This, again, depends on his personality and capabilities. For example, some people can quit smoking extremely easily. Other people have to slowly decrease their amount of cigarettes until it is 0. Try to keep this in mind, but most importantly, make sure it is within what you can tolerate.
