i have a bit of a situation, i was with my ex for 2 and a half years, we split up near the beginning of April, we had split up a couple of times before but this time i couldn't be dealing with it anymore so decided not to plead with him to come back, i moved on with my life, started chatting to the guy i cheated on him with when i went on holiday last October(i am fully aware of what i just said and what i did, no lectures please, i know its a mistake. my ex knows i did this) and now we are going out, i was getting over my ex and starting to be really happy with my new boyfriend. then the other evening me and my ex are talking on msn as friends, and he just suddenly says "i need to tell you something" and he then writes this huge paragraph pouring his heart out to me, and it kinda made my feelings for him come back a little, but because i am with this new guy i told him "im sorry, but im nearly over you now, i dont love you anymore" so he seems to accept that, but then a couple days later i get an email from him declaring his undying love for me once more, and it makes me think about all the good times and brings back my feelings for him a little more. so now i think i love him again just when i was moving on, he even told me he promised he would change(there was stuff he would do that would annoy me sometimes) and i believe him, because he has made promises in the past and kept them. so now im stuck with a boyfriend who i thought i loved but now im starting to think he is a rebound almost, and an ex who really loves me and wants me back, and he seems very welcoming right now. what do i do??
