Dear Hannah:

First a question: he told you that “it was circumstances and immaturity” that broke your relationship and that “things would be different now, that we have learned from the past and wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes.”

He meant that him and you learned from the past? If so, how did he determine that you learned from your past mistakes?

Second, reads to me that a strong part of you knows that you don’t want to go back to him, more so than you are aware of. Maybe your heart made that decision, to end the marriage, but your thinking didn’t catch up with your heart yet.

If this rings true to you, in a calm state of mind, you can type whatever comes to mind in response to the question: why do you want a divorce?
