There's a lot of questions you should ask yourself. A lot of the time we want to get back with our ex because we miss them, we loved them and we don't like being lonely.. Also he's all you've known for the time you were broken up.

But would it practical? Would the issues from before still persist? Would that work long-term? Are you just delaying another eventual break up, simply because you're lonely? Did you really want to change, has it benefited you, or did you only do it for him? Do you think you can maintain how much you've changed? Would you ever resent him for making you change?

The issues won't persist because it's gonna be different we've had time to heal and grow and mature and I realise my faults and I've changed

It has really benefited me like I had to reflect and put my ego in the bin and what I've realised throughout it all is I still love him

Do you think you can maintain how much you've changed? Yes I am not longer the jealous controlling ***** I once was

Would you ever resent him for making you change? No because whatever happens the change was good for me

Too late. You should have behaved properly whilst in the relationship, not claim you've changed and now regret it. Anyway, how do you know he has changed and wants to be with you if you're no contact? How do you know you have changed when the issues were when you had a boyfriend and not when you are single?

Maybe if you discuss it with him.

It was unhealthy on both ends he kept hurting me and I didn't communicate and it just went downhill and I didn't actually compromise and neither did he and it was bad overall but this time ik will be different because of time

Because when I see those same situations arise I know how to handle it now and I don't feel the same way I did before I got it wrong we both did

You haven't answered any questions i asked.

So why do you think it's good to go back to a toxic relationship when time changes nothing, it has to be the people that are proactive?

Like he was friends with this person who I rly didn't like but now I respect his choice he has autonomy to do as he wishes and I still love him no matter what

Yes I understand time heals wounds tho it can also help you change ur perspective it really allowed me to realise what happened his PoV what I did wrong and how to make the situation better. Time helped me understand him better and understand me and it allowed me to realise what I truly want in a relationship

It's great to hear that you've reflected and grown, however there's nothing to say he's done the same and if the relationship ended because the fault was on both of you - then he may be the same person as he was back then: The person that you broke up with.

Unfortunately I don't think it would work out, because I don't think there are any lingering feelings from his end - especially with the 'no contact' bit you mentioned. This chapter of you and him has ended - it's best to pursue new people rather than dig up a bad past.

I hope you find the best person for you.

I know he has because he seems calmer and even tho we're not together he doesn't do what he used to before and certain things that were bad he has rly reflected and is different now he see have not talked but it avn work I have faith and I believe it can work
