My ex boyfriend is kind of an emotional rollercoaster... and very indecisive. we were together for a year, and he broke up with me completely out of the blue. He really hurt me, but now he wants me back, and I don't know what to do. Is it possible for someone with emotional problems to still love you but treat you badly? How do you tell the difference between a plain old asshole and someone who doesn't always treat you best but still loves you?

Of course people with emotional problems can love another. The important thing is to make sure that he is willing to work on getting better. You should not accept him back into your life if he doesn’t plan on changing anything or refuses to come up with coping mechanisms to help him process his feelings correctly. There needs to be effort on his end.
