Long story short, I was with someone about 5 years ago who I really got on with, loved, had a great connection with, he loved me. A few issues in our relationship though, he was quite insecure and clingy. One day, before i was about to go on a 3 week holiday (alone so wouldnt be seeing him in that time) we had a bit of a row...we'd spent about 3 days together and I tend to get a bit cold and irritated with people if I've been too long in their company, which I did with him this day before leaving to meet a friend (I was going on holiday the next day). He felt v rejected by me and insecure that I was going to go away and not contact him/possibly break up with him so ...long story short...he ended up following me across London for about an hour without me knowing, until I did discover it and went crazy at him. We broke up over this.
We've vaguely stayed in touch as friends. I moved to a different city sonits mostly email contact. We since discussed this incident and he apologise, seemed very remorseful and has had a lot of therapy. I think about him a lot though, I haven't met anyone since him who I felt the same connection with, I still care about him a lot. My question is AIBU to consider trying to make a go of it again? Thanks in advance!
