Dear Damien:

“Well have to start over something new and she’ll have to trust me and see how I am“- this means that you are not ready to make a lifetime commitment to her. Your plan is to resume a relationship and see how it goes and where it takes you.

You are expecting her, as pessimistic as she is about the 7-year relationship, to trust you for an 8th year, hoping that you will finally decide to marry her on the 9th year, the 10th.. sometime in the future?
