excited and nervous surprised: So my ex and I have been working on things lately. (Refresher: Not married, together for 10 years, broke up over differences in what we want out of life.)
We've been on a few dates, and have done A LOT of talking. He's been reaching out to me, I haven't been calling or emailing except in response to him. He's been really sweet. Today he sent me flowers. I'm so excited that we may be able to actually rebuild a life together. Start fresh with a little more maturity and surity about what we want out life. But I'm so scared that I'm getting my hopes up and letting myself be really happy and then it could all come crashing down again.
Re: excited and nervous Spike: Tell him that, exactly as you typed it here. Communication is the key, if he doesn't know, then he can't help, and vice versa. Just be open and honest and it will be so easy to keep things flowing.
Re: excited and nervous surprised: I have told him. He knows I have some trust issues with him now because of everything that has happened. I think that's why he's been so attentive. But I just feel like it might be a while before I can fully let go and not be scared.
Re: excited and nervous Spike: Sure it will take a while, but if it is worth your time and effort, then it is worth your while. I'm glad you can do this, and I'm glad you see changes in him, just make sure those changes aren't temporary.
Re: excited and nervous surprised: Thanks Spike. He's been great, but I have to keep reminding myself, it's only been 2 weeks. But he really has been doing all the work I need him to do to prove he wants to be with me. He's planned nice dates, he calls a lot, he's been emailing and even texting. He sent the flowers today, he tells me he misses me constantly. He's like an upgraded version of the man I always loved. I hope it is permanent.
