“Dear PoPville,
I need your advice. My ex broke up with me a day before Valentine’s Day earlier this year. He had insisted on cooking up a nice Vday meal for us and then we had plans to go stargazing at the National Mall. Instead I spent my Valentine’s Day bawling my eyes out in bed all day.
Several months later, he is now saying that he made a bad decision and that he wants to get back together. A big part of me still really misses him but on the other hand, he caused me a great deal of pain and emotional distress. I honestly don’t know what to do. Pls help!“
