( like standing up to his parents)and hes even started to prove it. but i dont want to leave my boyfriend for my x for it to all fall apart again and me end up alone. i dont want to hurt anyone but most of all i dont want to be hurt. what should i do?

Noone can make a choice like this for you as we aren't feeling the feelings you are.
Whatever guy you choose if it goes wrong you will think that you made the wrong choice and the other one was the one you should have picked but you just don't know what will happen in the future and to be honest neither one of them might be the right one and the right one for you might still be out there for you.
I would say follow your heart but that is loving them both in their own ways, what is your gut instint telling you?
Try taking time out from both of them and being on your own to work through your head, maybe when your away from them both you'll realise which one you actually miss and which one you can't live without.
Good luck, hope this helps :o)

If you stay with your boyfriend you are being unfair on him and stopping him from being with someone that can love him and make him truely happy as you can't all the time you are still in love with your ex, you are also being untrue to yourself and your own feelings even if getting back with your ex isn't what you choose to do or you do and it doesn't work out you boyfriend is obviously not who you want to be with and you don't sound like you don't see a future with him.
