[CaliGuy]

Hello Everyone,

I've been browsing these forums for a long time and have hesitated to post because I have a bit of a conundrum. I still love my ex. She left me for some guy and then bounced on to another guy. Now that relationship appears to be on shaky ground as well. The only semblance of a steady relationship she has had in some time has been me.

In the six months I have been away from my ex I have had minimal to no contact. I have worked on the issues that caused the demise of our relationship and I feel that now would be a good time to start initiating contact.

I have some questions I hope you all can help me with.
Is a letter a good idea or should I just call?
What should I say in the letter?
Should I admit I still love her?
Should I tell her what steps I have taken to change?
How do I prove that I have fixed my personality issues without sounding desperate?

What steps can I take to show her that I deserve another chance? I know I can't force her, nor do I want to. But I do believe if she sees the positive changes I have made she might be interested in perhaps starting as friends.

Any sound advice is appreciated, especially from people who have been in similar situations. What worked for you and what did not work?
