My ex and I were together for six years, we have two sons under age two. We have been broken up for seven months. We decided to try and work on being a couple again. We are currently taking baby steps so we don't just rush back in to just to have it fail again.

He said I should take my time and don't expect so much and let's just start with being friends again and rebuilding some trust. I don't get what he meant by that is he saying build a friend first before we get back together.

I told him I hope he is serious and not just playing and he said he wasn't he told me just to trust him but its hard.

What are the issues that breaks you up?
