My ex wants to have dinner with me

Long story - i've posted it previously....but quick overview again - my fiance and I broke up last month and he moved out. The breakup was basically because he's going thru some emotional stuff that he needs to fix before he can give me what I need as a lifelong partner. He's been going to therapy for a couple of weeks now - sorting thru his issues - he still emails, texts or calls daily. Sometimes, I answer and sometimes I don't. He sent me a text last night that said "I know this is hard, but just know that I'm trying to fix me so we can fix us". He asked me to go to dinner with him tomorrow night. I REALLY want to go. I want to see him. I'm just afraid that I'm going to get emotional while I'm there. It's sad to say, but I need some guidance on how to put on a happy face and make conversation that is not related to the current issues between us. I just want us to go out and have fun so that he can realize why we fell in love in the first place. I think that's what he needs. Not for me to get sad or make him feel badly about what he's going through. HELP? Any suggestions on what to do or how to "fake" happy if I need to so I don't get sad?????

Yes, you really do. Remember it may not be fixed overnight. Trial and error, just like everything under the sun.

Best of luck to you!

We went to the counselor last week and it was really good.....she put him on the spot and asked him why he was there.
