We hadn't broken up for a reason, but we certainly had the same kind of communication problems you described, at first. A lot of it is being patient in finding a way that works for her. Communicating your feelings to a partner can be very difficult at times, and sometimes its in how the other partner is asking. So I'd start there next time.
I also think it's kind of strange that you'd say she is five years ahead of you but that you feel like you were doing everything right. Which shows me that you just kind of need to grow up. And I'll be honest, brutally again (I'm sorry), I don't think you getting back together with her is going to solve it, I think it'll hinder it.
Take what you've learned, which is to be open minded, patient, and not so fucking stubborn, and also what you know you want in a relationship; something I'd hazard a guess and say you didn't know before this girl.
Hope that helps.

Whoa, where did that come from? You act as if you know me personally or something. Trust me, I may have lacked sexual experience, but communicating effectively is a life experience and I had 5 years on her in that respect.
I'm not saying that she is completely at fault for this breakup. I know there are things I could've done differently. I'm just venting the frustrations I had with her. Notice, I said I felt like her lack of communication was the cause of A LOT of our problems, not all of them.
Anyway, in all honesty, I was just curious. I do feel like there is a possibility of us getting back together because despite our differences, we did have a lot in common, but I definitely do not think the wedding will be back on anytime soon. We would obviously have a lot to work on before we were ready to do that again.
