EX is in therapy and now he wants me back?

r/

I (29F) was dating a (33M). When I meet him at 31 he had never been in an adult long term relationship – huge red flag. Yes I know. But he was great. Rich. Cute. Great friends. Kind. I’ve never aligned with someone so well.

Last year out of the blue he tells me he’s had doubts and doesn’t know why and he feels like we should end it, despite the fact I’m the best relationship he’s ever had. That was a 1 week phase and We got back together (we also lived together). Seven months later. He breaks up with me again. Same thing. Doubts. He doesn’t know why. Can’t list anything he doesn’t like about me.

Fast forward to me moving out. He goes to therapy. Surprise: he’s another man in his 30’s with commitment issues.

He apologizes like never before. He’s not very expressive and I’ve never herd him say things about our future.. now he’s like : “i fucked up, I realize I have commitment issues, you are the best girlfriend, I want to build a life with you” begging me to take it back. It’s been a month and he’s still spewing the same stuff.

I know. I know. He broke up with me twice. I moved out. He screams commitment issues, I don’t deserve that.

Really struggling though because when I say: he’s the best person I’ve ever dated and I could see my self marrying him. I mean it. Is it wild to give him another chance? He’s willing to do the work in therapy and taking accountability?

TL;DR boyfriend who I tht I’d marry broke up with me, realized he has commitment issues, takes accountability and is in therapy. Do I take him back?

    Third times a charm for some folks. But I’d go into it with my guard up for sure.
