I'm trying to reinitiate the relationship

[Depression = 72% of members]

After some time being separated from my BPD ex girlfriend, I decided to reinitiate the relationship. We ended things on good terms, and since then I've immersed myself in BPD, and I think I understand much of what transpired in the relationship. I'm not saying I excuse it, but I understand it, and I think she's coming to understand it too. She's in therapy and she's getting healthier. She's been respectful of my boundaries and of me.

When I broached the subject, i sense she's doubtful, which I can understand. It wouldn't be the first recycle. But I felt like it was something I needed to communicate regardless of what she decides.
