I’m grateful my ex/friend is getting therapy via /r/gratitude

Long story short there were mistakes he made in the relationship that led to me feeling unloved/unwanted/unappreciated, and he felt terrible after the breakup. We went about a month without talking, I reached out asking how he'd been. We still love and miss each other but he struggles with his self image after the breakup. I urged him to get therapy to forgive himself, and mentioned that my door (romantically) is unlocked for him – all he needs to do is put in that work and self improve.

Well… today I reminded him. He set up not 1 appointment, but 2! I don't know if he's still interested in ever dating me again, but what matters is that he got help. I'm so proud of him. And I'm so grateful to know someone willing to take that step.

The guy I dated before him would've NEVER. Same thing with my family for most of my life. This is the first time I told a loved one to get therapy and they actually listened. Feels good.
