Secondly: you are an abused partner whose 'ex' is trying to invite you back. You are being love-bombed, and told how very sorry he or she is about the past bad treatment. Promises are being made, kind words said. You were abused, truly mistreated - but you find there are times when you want to believe what you are hearing. Maybe not all the time, but sometimes you feel a pull to go back and try again. You start wondering if this "new leaf" your 'ex' has turned might not be genuine, and thinking about the terms under which you'd go back to him or to her. Is that you?
