nookin4nub Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm new here, but I've been reading this site for a short time and it seemed to be the place to bring the situation that has been looming over me for some time. First I'll give some history. My ex and I meet when we were both in high school and did very well until some skeletons came out on both sides. We broke up and months later we got back together and started a long distance relationship that turned to a pregnancy. We broke broke things off shortly before I knew she was pregnant and got back together shortly after and then ended things again shortly after the birth of our child. Once again we found ourselves back together when our child was about a year old that only last for a short time. Obviously, we have a bad history of break-ups and make-ups that lasted over the course of 5 years, but it has been almost 6 years since that routine ended. Our break-ups were almost always over the little things and I associate that to our ages at the time mostly poor communication or both of us just being bull headed. We've both been through our relationships outside our own, but those have all come and gone including a marriage on her part. We still have contact because of our child. Since our last break-up I have still never lost my feeling for her. She broke things off and never gave me a reason. I still love her with all my heart and always have which has caused trouble in my other relationships. My issue is that given our past I'm not sure what to think. We both have obviously grown up over the past decade and started our careers and I believe "found ourselves." When we last broke-up I really didn't have anything going for me as far as a career or financially and can see why I wouldn't be an attractive mate for her as a mother. Now I know I can provide for her and our child I feel like I could possibly be able to win her back. For the most part, I've always strived to be the type of man a woman like her would want. We still can get along and act just the same way we did years ago, unlike many relationships that end on harsher notes. I just want to know other peoples opinions if I should attempt to mend our past and work things out to live happily-ever-after or if I should I learn to finally let go and move on and wish the best for her?
