Not Sure I Should Go Back with Him

May 14, 2007

Question

I was involved with a guy. We broke up because he was too immature. We remained friends. I love him.

Now he wants to be in a relationship with me again. What should I do? I'm not sure if I want to go back, especially if he's not going to take us serious.


Answer

You have doubts about starting over because you're worried that he won't take your relationship seriously. Tell him just that! Describe exactly what he said and did (or didn't say and didn't do) the last time around.

He needs to be clear on what gave you the feeling that he wasn't taking your relationship seriously. Then ask him how you can be sure that he will behave differently this time around. Let him sell you. Let him tell you why he's so sure that he's different.

When you hear what he has to say, you'll be in a much better position to make a decision.

You also might decide to give the relationship a trial run. This way you can protect yourself by not jumping in with both feet until he demonstrates that he really is different.
