How does one get a second chance w/ an ex? We dated for a year, then lived together for 8 months. I made a lot of mistakes (as did he), but I want a second chance.

We haven't talked in a couple of months now, any suggestions how I can get back on his radar and give it another chance

If you two have not talked in a couple of months, then move on.

Hate to say this, but He is long gone.

Forget him and find someone new.

There was no cheating on either side. Basically, he became pretty closed off / emotionally unavailable. I know he was under a tremendous amount of stress at work and financially. I was miserable in my job, as well, so I really just focused on us (Cause that made me happy), but his standoffishneess made me start feeling unhappy at home, too. I started questioning what he was doing, because I always felt he was hiding something. I got caught snooping once, although I did do it more than that. I never found anything - and never thought he was cheating - I was just hoping to find info on what he was feeling or why he was so down all the time. . . anyway, he felt I was controlling, when I wasn't trying to control what he did (and I told him that time and time again - he could do weheatever he wanted, whenever), I just wanted him to open up more to me and make me feel like a priority in his life...

Collaroy agony auntHi,

it all depends on the mistakes I guess. Did you cheat on him? It might be hard for him to forgive if that's the case.

Otherwise, write him a letter. It's a long lost form of communication , its personal in your own handwriting and it allows you to put your case calmly and assuredly.

Give it a try. The worse that can happen is he doesnt reply.
