back together?

.
me and my boyfriend were dating for just over a year and it was amazing but a month ago he randomly broke up with me because he needed to be alone (he's 16 and in the military away from his family he was going through a hard time) just recently we began talking again and we both amittied that was a horrible idea and we still have feelings for each and want to get back together but there's a few questions. is this a good idea or am i just bound to get hurt? my friends hate him because he broke my heart and are convinced he's gonna do it again so what should i do about that? and lastly would we keep out anniversary the same even though we weren't dating for a month?
