I split up with my ex in a mutual breakup. Long story short he came out of prison and got in a relationship with me only a few months after. He never had the chance to be sober, single, and free after. So we split to let him experience that sort of life. Then I found out he cheated on me…for months. I originally wanted to try to hopefully work things out but I got comfortable enough to start dating again and met an amazing guy. Now my ex wants me back, I’m the love of his life and all, and he has this whole list of ways to basically not screw up our relationship again. He’s telling me he’ll do the things this new guy is already doing. Now I’m not in a relationship with the new guy. Just dating. But I have strong feelings for both of them. And I still do love my ex just not as much as I used to. I have no idea if that’s because I’m scared to love him again or if I truly don’t have feelings for him. Meanwhile I’m falling hard for this other guy. Now I’m conflicted. My feelings for each guy are sort of at the same level and my ex wants a chance to show me he’s a better man. I still don’t know if I want that or not…on one hand I do and on the other I don’t. Any advice on how to navigate through this??
