I would begin to go off on weekend breaks with mates and expect her to put up with it. Then on the last break, I felt that I really need to put effort in, got a lovely present, but when I got back home SHE wanted 'that talk'. We agreed to break up and we were both happy about this as it just didn't work. Unfortunately it all just hit me, how bad I had treated her, how crap of a boyfriend I had been. I took her out and really made a massive effort, and she said that she still loved me but needed time. I agreed, we met up a couple of times more and there were still lots of feelings floating around, but the main problem is that I do not know how to prove I won't hurt her again, she came over the other day and stayed and the main issue is this fear of repetition - any advice would be appreciated, as i know I love this girl and am having a hard time trying to let her give me a 2nd chance.

normally, i would say you dont deserve a second chance but you really seem to have realised your mistake.
ask for another chance, if she says no, respect her wishes and leave her alone.
If she gives you another chance, it will take time for her to learn to trust you again, take her out, pay her compliments and make her feel special.
