Love vs. Co-dependency Options

[Flightlessbird50]

I've been struggling with my self-esteem for about three years now. I've been working on it, and slowly I've been building it. There's this guy I know I'm not ready for, and who isn't ready for a relationship either. We've been together before. He loves me and I used to think I love him, but I have just been told that I may be emotionally dependent rather than in love. I don't really know if that's true, because I feel like I do love him, but if it is, I'm willing to work on this because I really really care about this person, and I want to be in a happy relationship with them someday.
I just need someone to tell me that at least a little part of me loves him, or that I'm not totally JUST dependent.
This sounds crazy, I know, but I need help.
Thank you.

I really think that if others give you their opinions it still won't change how you feel about the situation. Either way, if you want to be with him badly enough, you'll probably find yourself pursuing him sooner or later. You honestly sound like you've made up your mind. What were the circumstances under which you broke up the first time, if you don't mind me asking? If there were no major problems and you were happy with him, what's the hangup?
