RTL,

I thought you did incredibly well. Unfortunately, I'm nervous that you could actually get back together. Every single one of her texts was how terrible and evil you were and how you destroyed her. Maybe I don't know your situation well enough, but I find it hard to imagine that you actually did that. Did you? She's completely wrapped up in your faults...starting with her again would put you on eggshells until a time you stood up for yourself and then she'd run again.

Personally, I think you said what you needed to say, were kind and supportive, understanding, and validating. Now it's time to step back rather than keep nursing this along. She is still the same woman that spouted out untruths about you and now that I saw that exchange between you, I'm convinced that she actually believes it. If she came back now you couldn't actually move forward as a couple. She would be too much work for you to do any self-work. Until she can look at herself some and come to terms with the fact that you didn't "destroy her" (did you?), then you will be destined to go back. She won't let you avoid it.
