Then i replied and i was tough with him actually. He said are you sure we won't get back again one day ??   so i started blaming him for the words he said last fight we had when we broke up .. " he said you'll never be my wife but he was so angry at that time.   then the conversation between us turned into a blame about the problems that happened last time w broke up " it wasn't a big issue but things got bigger with time & we hurt each other     actually since we've broken up i didn't date anyone else and i don't want so :((   90% of me still wants him back ... do you thing that i messed it up with him ?? or he wasn't clear enough about getting back together !? and what shall i do now :(   am so afraid of talking to him about my feelings ... i'm afraid because i don't wanna get hurt again :(      Signed: confused  

 


Answer
You should be confused. The two of you are not honestly communicating your feelings with each other.    He already stuck his neck out and told you that he wants you back. Then you gave him a hard time and punished him for the hurtful things he said to you during the fight just prior to the break-up.   If you want him back, then you have take a risk and tell him exactly how you feel. To do this you would say, "I'm afraid of talking about my feelings for you. I'm afraid to admit that I want you back. I don't want anyone else. But I'm afraid to start over because I don't want to get hurt again."   Now here comes the most important part. You two obviously care about each other and want to be together. So I have do doubt that you can get back together. But, from my point view, if you both don’t change how you talk to each other when you are hurt and angry, you will be on a perpetual rollercoaster of fighting, breaking upBreaking up refers to the dissolution of a romantic love relationship. Many people have a tendency to break up in order to preempt or discharge unwanted or painful feelings. For example, if you are...(Click for full definition.) and starting over, over and over again.   There is no point to getting back together unless you both are willing to commit to learning how to deal with your feelings is constructive rather than destructive way.   If you want to do this, read my book, Till Death Do Us Part (Unless I Kill You First): A Step-by-Step Guide For Resolving Relationship Conflict. My book will show you how to communicate your thoughts and feelings in a way that brings you closer rather than tears you apart. You can download the ebook right from the site. Or if you want a hard copy you can buy it on Amazon.  

Don't be fooled. If you both don't learn how to behave differently when you're hurt and mad you both won't be able to make a relationship work with anyone. So why not learn what I will teach you and save your love.
