My ex and I split at the end of April after I let personal issues destroy me and my relationship. We still saw each other until June, when she ended up getting into a rebound with someone else for 2 weeks. 

I pulled away and began therapy to work through the issues that caused our relationship to fall apart. My ex and I spoke last week. She asked me what changed I have made and said she was proud of me, and said we should meet up in August but she wasn't going to "jump back into a relationship" when we did. I told her our old relationship had ended and whatever we have in the future must begin fresh and new, which she agreed. I also told her I just wanted to make progress with her and work on things together. 

I do want a future with this girl and it took me a long time to realize all of what I did and how to impacted her. I ended up letting my unemployment after grad school kill my self esteem and I began lying and not setting proper boundaries. I'm just worried if I meet her and it goes nowhere, I'll be back to being hurt. With all of that said, I don't expect her and I to get back together after one meeting. It'll take time to work through things.
