dcsquared, I'm going to jump in here since I have been dealing with the "promise the moon and stars" sitch lately. Here's my perspective:
Yes, it feels good to finally hear what you've wanted to hear since all this started. She's sorry, she loves you, she'll do anything to make it up to you. xBF wrote me a long letter saying all these things. So I got my hopes up. But then nothing. There was no follow up action. I was disappointed. More talk about wanting to give it another try. Ok, then let me see you try. Again nothing, no action. More disappointment.
I just want to forewarn you that while it sounds good it's still very difficult to deal with. Don't jump at the first declaration. Puppy is right: only when the actions match the words consistently can you start to believe.
If you love somebody, set them free. http://tinyurl.com/2empx2g
