Constantly gave me positive support, helped me move, was there for me anytime I needed him whether that was to talk on the phone or to physically be together, was attentive to my needs, made me feel cared for, was affectionate, made room for me in his life. I have not done those things for him in the past few weeks and I deeply regret that. I want to show him that I can give those things not just say I’m capable but actually prove I am. I don’t know how to do that though if we aren’t “together.”

Thank you, Anita. I can definitely practice expressing myself in this way rather than passing the blame or “dumping.” At this time we are not speaking much if at all and I am working on bettering myself. Any ideas on ways to show him that I am changing and deserving of a second chance? He always says actions speak louder than words. How do I show him I care and can be positive and supportive of him without being to pushy? Thank you!
