You should also ensure that your feelings toward your ex-partner are genuine and not based on nostalgia or lingering guilt from how things ended before. Consider how you feel about them now and if those feelings are enough to commit to the long haul this time. Are there any red flags you can see now that could cause trouble later on? Make sure you are being honest with yourself about your current feelings…
