Dear reader,

I split up with my partner 5 months ago. We split up due to me not being able to handle is busy work schedule. He worked long hours and we sometimes spent many days and even weeks apart we didnt live together and this wasn't how the relationship first started off like.

During the relationship he became very close to my 2 children whom I have from a previous relationship. I didn't think this was fare on them so I confronted him about the issues i had and as he wasnt prepared to compromise i ended it. I suffered a broken heart and it took me quite a while to get over it. In fact I'm still not over it. I've tried dating agin but I constantly compare and think about my ex! My ex moved on very quickly and was seeing a friend of his in a matter of weeks after we split up.

Since we split I have made no contact with him as when i found out he was with somebody else i just had to move on and walk away.

A few days ago I decided to add him as a friend on Facebook..... He then text my phone and said he was in shock and thought I would never speak to him again. I just said that life's too short and I have no hard feelings. He then confessed to having wanted to contact me for months but was scared of the reaction that he would of received. He told me his relationship with his friend only lasted a matter of weeks and the reason it ended was because he was constantly banging on about me. I was in complete shock as I thought they were living happily ever after. We agreed to meet up and upon meeting him I realised I still loved him. We had a good night and ended it with a kiss and we both went our separate ways. He asked me when I was next free and I said weekend so he said we could meet again then. My heads been really confused since and I'm not sure what to do. I messaged him today and asked how his day had been an said I'm free Saturday as I'm out on Friday. He replied back with days been good and ok! Nothing else. I just don't know what to do or what to think, can we work things out or am I just looking to get hurt all over again?

janniepeg agony auntI don't know why he works that much. Is it a busy business he owns? Is he a workaholic? Does he have bills to catch up on? Elderly parents to look after? Does he have people helping him? Even if you get married can you face that the only time you see him is him asleep in bed? I think you should only try again when you know that he could cut down on his busy schedule somehow. If not now, in the near future.
