If you ever want to consider reconciling, it needs to be on YOUR terms. And I agree, that means that H gets his act together FIRST. Approach it as if you did not have a history - he's just a guy who you have met, that might be an interesting "prospect".
What's that, you say? He already HAS another girlfriend? Hmmm, not a good prospect!
What's that, you say? He has "problems" and won't raise a finger to address them? Hmmm, not a good prospect!
What's that, you say? He's clingy and whiny and pathetic? Hmmm, not a good prospect!
Let's see him shake off his nasty little OW first. Let's see him deal with his problems. Let's see him stand on his own two feet and be a man. Then, well, who knows?
But in the meantime, our Sara has some joyful living to do!
