Just looking for some advice/perspectives/experience. I have a DS (4) with Ex DP. He ended the relationship two and a half years ago shortly before we were due to get married. There were a lot of reasons, I had problems with alcohol which I have had treatment for and am now 7 months into recovery. He was very distant and absorbed in his work, I felt very isolated and lonely in the relationship and the communication was very poor on both sides. I was incredibly hurt when it ended but we have stayed friends and cop aren't very well together. Recently he told me he has feelings for me and we slept together at the weekend. I'm very conflicted, part of me is happy, I do think I still love him but I just don't know whether things can ever work with that much pain and water under the bridge. Also I'm finally getting to a place where I'm happy in myself and gaining confidence and independence and I worry that I'll loose that if I go back to a relationship that was quite codependant and unhealthy for a long time. My question is can this possibly work? Can you change patterns of unhealthy relationships or am I most likely to end up back at square one with a broken heart?
