I completely respect your decision to move out. I only hope that when you decide that you are ready for a relationship or to start dating you would consider giving me a chance to be the one you date.
When we first met we weren’t "in love". We started as 2 people who were mutually attracted to one another and found out we had a lot in common. We moved fast, maybe too fast by living together right away and never gave us a chance to just date.
A few months later we realized we fell in love with each other, and I don’t regret any of that. Nothing is so different now from 7 years ago. I am the same man you met then, only a better version.
What harm can it do if we started over from day one and see where it leads us? No pressure on anything else [no pressure on living together or being married], just us dating. I can pick you up, or we can meet out, or you can come to the house.
Now since I have 13 days I am looking for all the input on tweaks/changes to that statement I can get. Or, do I not even lay that on the table? I figure this session could be a game changer, no matter what is going on in her mind when we go in.
I would keep this to yourself for now.
You are placing an expectation on this, that isn't going to go well.

It is still YOUR solution. for her.
CO, IF she is willing to go to MC, then I would reccomend that you go in with an open mind, and expecting nothing.
This is the time to validate her feelings and really listen to what she has been through.
And while what you wrote may be true, don't attempt to talk your way out of something you acted your way into.
SHOW her that you have grown, instead of telling her...
