What a wonderful phrase, "please batter me". No, I will not batter you for your shallowness. Have a talk with him before you go about how you feel. That you have fears, and how they hurt you. He can put your mind to rest, and I'm sure he will. You are very lucky to have him back and wanting to be with you. Communication is the most important thing. The caveat is to talk about the feelings, not tell him what to do. If you do it wrong, I may have to batter you after all,.
