I'm sorry I'm not sorry

I never asked for any of this and now you are blaming me.
This is repeat of history if there ever was one, and you'll never even notice it.

You asked me if I would consider you doing renovations on my house.  My reply?  I would consider it, as long as we both got what we needed.  The context?  You needed work/money and I needed renovations.  Had I known you were hoping these renovations would lead to us getting back together, I never would have agreed to have you do the work had I known you had ulterior motives.

You were not used.  I've paid you 3 times and twice now without even the benefit of an invoice.  Sure you gave me a discounted hourly rate, but did I asked for that?  No!  Did I say thank you when I saw it?  Yes.

You inherently keep reminding me what a good decision I've made, despite how often you want to tell me how different you are.

You may be different.  You may even be better than you were, but I want the best or nothing at all.  
I've worked hard my entire life to be who I am and who I continue to try to be.  You knocked me down farther than I've ever been knocked down before and I'm still rebuilding.

Now I'm angry to be in this place yet again.  Why do I let down my guard?  Can't I just be who I am?  Why do you have to mistake my kindness for opportunity?  I don't want to be mean and cold.
