I would say take it slowly, people do change. Maybe you needed to break up in order to truelly love each other.
It depends more on WHY you broke up. If there were unresolved issues and you guys are not willing to compromise on them, it makes no sense to go back with him. If you both want to date again, do that - no sex, no living together.
Start over and date only and rebuild the relationship and see where it goes. BTW my ex-husband abused me - h*ll no I'd never go back if I was single. I'm now married to a wonderful loving husband and we have a strong and solid relationship - no way would he ever go back to his ex-wife either!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
