My ex and I were together for 6 months before he broke up with me in January. We have been best friends since birth and made a great couple. He broke up with me because I needed to deal with some issues in my life that were related to abuse growing up. He kept telling me to deal with these issues and I ignored it until he said that there was no moving forward in our relationship because I wasn't fixing anything. 
We have remained close since breaking up. I sought counseling and made some huge changes in my life. My family has as well and we are all better off for it. 
Now I want to get back together with him because he really is my best friend and I love him so much. He, on the other hand, says he doesn't want to be in a relationship right now, and doesn't know if he ever wants to be with me because I hurt him.
Obviously I should just move on, but really? Give up all those years of friendship and the love of my life?
