How can I prove to my ex that I truly want to be with her?

Question

My ex and I got together in May of 2005. We had a great relationship until my mother began interfering too much. After that things were more and more difficult. She didn't understand why I listened to my mother so much despite being 18. I broke up with her in March of 2006 for that reason and the fact that college was coming quickly. She was upset with me making a decision she felt wasn't necessary for months. I felt it was. We had prom two months away and our one year three months away. I felt that the timing would have made things worse. We maintained contact after words and it felt as if I hadn't broken up with her in the first place. When I left for college, we didn't talk as much. She was dating someone else, but I didn't have the heart to date anyone and hurt her more. We have been talking lately of getting back together but she is hesitant claiming that she doesn't trust me and is afraid of more heartbreak. I love her. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Actions speak louder than words. Dont just say you can trust me, prove it. It may take time but do something to prove you're trustworthy.

Answer 2

I'm actually in a pretty similar situation bro. Except my girl is with a guy right now 2000 miles away. So yours seems a bit easier. Just make sure that you are ready to make a commitment. I mean you are entering college, probably the hardest time to be tied down(at least the first 2 years). If you are sure you want to get back with her. Then just let her know before you weren't ready for a commitment. And now you have analyzed the situation, and think it is a good move. Good luck my friend. Try to choose with your mind and not your heart.

Answer 3

It all depends on whether or not you have managed to free yourself from your mom's apron strings in the meantime.

Give her time, You are already established as a non-trustworthy mama's boy.
Give her time.
