"I sent him that because he also needs reassurance from me that this is what I want."

YOU aren't the one who needs to give reassurance. HE does. He left and so he knows (even in the back of his mind) that he has a way out. He has to be able to make you feel reassured.

All that talk about how you're amazing, etc. Isn't reassurance. It's riding the wave of emotion which will wear out. I've seen it time and time again and it's de-railed many people's reconciliations.

How has he reassured you? That's the only way to get your anxiety level down. You don't trust him and he needs to figure out how he can earn your trust again.
