Recently my ex of 6 mo told me that he wakes up everymorning and prays to God to help him forget about me. He confessed that he still loves me. I told him that we should try again.
We spent our first Saturday together this weekend for our son's birthday (the kids do not know anything about our reconciliation yet.) He had made plans Saturday night and all day Sunday with his friends and when I suggested that I join him he told me that he would feel uncomfortable and that he did not want to break his plans with his friends, but he would make plans with me for next weekend.
I can't help but feel hurt by this and I can't help but wonder if he still wants to maintain his "single image" to his friends.
He told me that he did not want to move too fast. (we fought a lot in the past and we were very disrespectful to each other) He told me that he wants a "trial" period where we are just starting to be friends. Mainly to see if it is possible for us to be friends without fighting and disrespecting each other.
Any oppinions on the path that we are taking? It doesn't really feel natural to me...

Well of course it won't feel natural to you. I would go ahead, and take it slow with your ex.
And now that you are here, your relationship could be much better than before. So get busy reading girl - check out Plan A, and the emotional needs questionnaire.
We can help you through this, so stick around.
