Two months ago I broke up with my girlfriend of four years. No seminal event -- things between us simply deteriorated to the point that we spent the majority of the last year together fighting all the time. She has recently re-initiated contact with me via email, and we met once for lunch about two weeks ago. Things were perfectly cordial.
She has since made it clear that she is interested in getting back together. Given how long we were together and how briefly we've been apart, I could only see that happening successfully further down the road, once we've both had the opportunity to process and discuss what went wrong between us. I've tried to communicate this to her, but she is of the opinion that I must either commit to getting back together right now ("It's been two whole months!' she says), which to me feels like forcing the issue, or tell her that I never want to see her again. I still care about her, but I know that if we reunite too quickly it will all end the same way it did before. Am I being unfair by not taking a firm position either way, or is there some middle ground here?
