I'm back from vacation and ready for the virtual housewarming party! Although I picked up a nasty cold in London so will refrain from offering hugs so I don't spread any viruses.
I know it's confusing and difficult when your WAS comes around after you've walked away. It rocks your emotional boat just when you thought you finally were sailing into smooth waters.
You're absolutely right to not settle for his half-assed attempt to get back together. He needs to work on himself and prove through his actions that he is ready, willing and able to do the necessary hard work. And he's starting out in a hole that he dug with his previous actions. You don't owe him anything at this point so take as much time to decide as you need. He should be doing the work without any guarantee from you anyway.
I'm crawling back into bed to rest up for the party.
If you love somebody, set them free. http://tinyurl.com/2empx2g
