Should I let her back in my life?

Dear Panel,

don't know what to do. I miss her, but I am so scared of being beat up and games played. She promises and guarantees and is very sincere and passionate about what she says.

Dear Panel,

I am a supportive, giving, loyal, dedicated, passionate, loving person.

Shannon is a great person, very similar to myself.

I Postponed the Wedding and Moved Out

We were supposed to get married. We lived together, were best of friends. We ran into some tough times and were not working problems out. I wanted to postpone the wedding and was told if I am not ready now I never will be. I moved out and we did not speak but once a week.

We Reunited, But She Blamed Me

We both realized we missed and needed each other. I went back to try to work things out. The first few days were fine.

Patra Hello? It DID happen to her.

She then started holding things against me. Shannon made me feel like it only happened to her and not us. She made me feel like I was a bastard and that is what her family thought of me as well for hurting them all.

She Apologized After 3 Months of Beating Me with Guilt

I tried to understand, for the most part I did. Some days she would tell me she needed me in her life other days she would tell me she did not know if I was worth it. She beat me up pretty good for three months. I had enough guilt of my own as it was. I had enough and said I could not do it anymore. I tried to snap her out of it, nothing worked.
Recently I called to wish her happy holidays, thought of her. After all the time we were together and as close as we were I wanted to let her know she was thought of. Since then she has phoned twice and tells me how much I mean to her and that she loves me and does not want to live without me. Also that she is so sorry she played games. She asked me to not to let her live with a mistake the rest of her life.

Should I Let Her Back in my Life?

I don't know what to do. I miss her, but I am so scared of being beat up and games played. She promises and guarantees and is very sincere and passionate about what she says. Please help me; my heart tells me to have her back in my life my mind tells me to give it some time. I told her I can't, I am very angry and hurt still and would not want to subject to her to that same thing she put me through. What should I do ?
