How do I reconcile our relationship and not be overwhelming?

Question - (10 April 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 10 April 2011)
A female Australia age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Last year, me and my best friend/guy I dated had an argument about our situation and we went our different ways. We were long distance and had work/studies at the time

Only recently, he got in touch with me saying that he wanted to apologise for the way he was towards me when we were arguing and how he wants to be a better person overall. I told him that that it was nice to hear from him and hope to speak again soon and he seemed okay about that.

But the thing is, I really hope to speak again soon because despite what happened in the past, he was a really special person to me and a best friend. One of the problems we had last year was that I could be overwhelming at times, so I want to make that doesn't happen again.

How can I reconcile this friendship without the same thing happening again like last time?

fishdish agony auntdo you or he have any examples of how you were overwhelming? i tend to think this might be a case of incompatibility or undercommitment on his end, so I wanted to hear some examples.

two small tips until we hear back from you:

- if you ARE going to live in the same town/be a couple again, probably only call him/contact him once a day

- if he makes you upset, you have a right to voice your concerns to make the relationship stronger and more reflective of your needs
