My previous ex and I dated on and off for 7 years, the last 4 of those years we had broken up each year for anywhere to 2-6 months at a time. It's always seems to be the same story, we break up because he claims he wants to be sure that I am the one for him, and sure enough a few months later he comes back saying he wishes he never left me...and then we get back together.
Well, we broke up again in April and I VOWED to never get back together with him. It hurt so much because I believe we do have a special connection. We share so many of the same interests, beliefs and values and he's someone I can see growing old with. Now a few days ago, after not talking or seeing him for 6 months he has sent me emails saying how I am the one for him and he hopes that some day I will forgive him and that he "will be waiting". I want to go back to him so badly because he is all I've ever wanted but I am so afraid of getting hurt again and again and again.
Has anyone been in a relationship like this that has worked out?
I told him I wouldn't see him unless we receive couples counseling and address issues before we get back together.
Is it worth it or should I just forget him???
