Should i try to work things out with my ex?

i’ve been on and off with this guy for the past year and even when we didn’t have the title of bf/gf we still hung out and didn’t date anyone else,. We are giving it another shot but i can’t help but wondering should i even try again. everytime we’d split it was his doing then time would go by he’d want to try it again and i would, but i really don’t want to get hurt again but i love him and want it to work. Should i take the chance?
