Getting back together with ex-girlfriend after breakup

My ex-girlfriend broke up with me over a misunderstanding about makeup on my nose, which I explained was from fishing. We had issues before, but had a productive conversation about our attachment styles and relationship problems.

What I wish I knew
"We should've talked about our attachment styles earlier in the relationship."
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly and honestly about your attachment styles and relationship issues before getting into a relationship."

Clear regret.
The downsides outweighed what was gained.
