After we split I started seeing someone else and have been happy with him ever since, although I get this nagging feeling about my ex. I still don't know why I should really care because he's been a complete dick to me and everytime I go out he starts on my boyfriend. Thing is he's off to uni very soon as am I, thing is though I kinda want to tell him how I feel before it's too late otherwise I'm going be stuck at uni thinking what if or it would be one of those things I regret big time. If anyone could offer some advice it would be well appreciated.

If you are truly happy, why ruin a good thing. I read this poem today that may help you:
Never leave the one you love for one you like,
because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.
Love doesn't have a happy ending,
because love never ends.
Think about how that fits with your question, and follow whichever direction it takes you. If he's being a dick to you, I'd question how he would be to you.

Though it is natural to hold a torch for your first love, what is unnatural is to hold that torch lit for someone who behaves like an arsehole.
Take a look at yourself, you are young so there is still hope. Dont be one of these girls who perpetually go for the bad boy arshole dickhead type: you are setting yourself up for a lifetime of being controlled and ultimately misery.
You're young, you're going to Uni, everything's sweet , chances are you will meet other people at Uni ( i guarantee it ) and you'll may even outgrow your boyfriend, but dont dump him because some arsehole who treated you like shit says so.

Firstly, was this ex your first love? If so, then it is not surprising that you still have some feelings for him, particularly if you were going out for a long time. We never do forget our first loves. To give an example, I only really got over my ex about a month ago and we've been split up for 10 months or so. Not as long as you I agree but i've been working at those feelings for a long time and had loads of help.
You two broke up for a reason, and whatever it was, it prevented you two from getting back together. You are now with a guy that you say makes you happy. Your ex on the other hand has been a "complete dick" to you. Does this sound like the kind of relationship you want to rekindle. You have a good relationship with your current boyfriend.
My advice is to continue with him.
I hope that helps. Please feel free to answer if you have more questions.
