Classic Taurus ex boyfriend and I dated for about five and a half years and we broke up in September 2016. I'm a Libra and my wish for independence clashed with his needs for stability and security. It is a now-solved career problem that drove us apart. I moved out, but we did the on and off thing since the initial break up and I hurt him twice. I know I really screwed up, but in the off periods I've done so much work on myself and I now see that we want exactly the same same things in life and this man is perfect for me and I, him. He's told me repeatedly he loves me and cares about me and knows he can be happy with me, but his depression is also a major factor here.

We were in touch throughout June, when I expressed my desire to get back together with him for good, forever. You guys, I put it all on the line (I basically proposed to him, explaining that although marriage kinda scares me given a high divorce rate in my family, I would do anything for him and settle down immediately if he so wished because that's what I want, too), but he wanted time to think and retreat for a little bit. We both needed time to ourselves. So we are currently doing no contact and are about three weeks in. I'm doing everything I can to get back to my confident self, including attending counseling sessions to resolve my personal issues that led to the break up, getting healthier, and overall improving my outlook on life and my relationships.

I'm patient and understanding and don't want to rush him into anything, especially if it exacerbates his depression. I will make everything up to him and focus on him; his happiness is my happiness. I just don't want to screw things up when we talk again and this is where I need your help. My mind is set on him, and any advice you can offer to help me get him back while keeping him in a peaceful, emotionally stable state of mind would be extremely appreciated. Likewise, I really want to know how to make this work, so tell me about your happy Libra and Taurus partnerships! Thanks in advance!
