My boyfriend and I were together for a little over 5 months. We had an amazing relationship in the beginning. I knew he was the one and that we were going to be together forever, which is something that I have never felt before. I have a lot of issues with men, but him and I were perfect. Things started to go sour, and we started to argue a lot. Eventually he broke up with me, explaining that he needed time to fix himself and get his life on track and that he didn't want to bring me down with him. I was upset, but I accepted it and began to move on from it. Well, during Christmas he sends me a text wishing me a Merry Christmas, and then later that night he wanted to talk. So he calls and we have a pretty good conversation about things, and during the conversation he pushed us being friends, which he had asked me before but I had said no. After our discussion, I felt like giving a friendship a shot. It was going OK, until he started crossing the line. He keeps telling me that he misses me, and still loves me. Now he has told me he regrets breaking up with me and he should have never done it, and he wants us to work things out. I had to tell him no, which killed me. I want nothing more than to be with him, but he broke my heart, and I have my wall up. Im not sure if he actually misses me, or if he just wants to keep his hold on me. He says he feels horrible, and that he is very depressed, and that he has realized what he lost. I think he really is sorry, but I don't know if I gave him another chance if it would work. He broke up with me so that he could make changes to his life, but no one can do that in 3 weeks. Im not sure if I should give him another chance, and us try and work on things, or if I should just let him go. The situation is also complicated because I have a daughter (2 years old), so I don't want a man hopping in and out of my life. How do I know that he won't break my heart again? Please help! Thanks!
