writes:I've been contemplating this problem for a few days now, and still haven't come to a conclusion!I spoke to my ex-boyfriend last Wednesday (we don't talk much, he's in the US army) and we started off with the general chat, how everything was going etc. However, it then started to get more personal, and he asked me if I'd had sex with anyone.. and I was like "No, not since you" and he proceeded to say "When I'm back home, I'll have sex with you if you like?" and asked me if I was okay with it just being a one off thing. Hesitantly, I said yes.. but I knew I wasn't really.We broke up almost 2 years ago, in 2007 when he left to go into the army. The thing is, I've never stopped liking him. I know, I shouldn't and that I really should have got over him by now, but I haven't. I know having sex with him won't solve anything, and will probably leave me with more feelings for him than I already have. Surely, there has to be a part of him that's still attracted to me if he wants to do that?Could there be a slim chance he does still like me?Could it develop into anything?What are your opinions on it all?I really don't know what to do, or how he feels about me. I'm scared of telling him how I feel, in case he breaks everything off, and I'd hate not to have him in my life anymore.Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 Let me jump in here with a soldiers opinion:
He is away with work and feeling a bit alone, gets out the old little black book and is going through girls he knows looking for a hook up, and BANG here is his ex who isn't over him and will have sex with him! Thank you very much, cheers easy!
He does not want a relationship with you, he wants to get a period of frustration out of his system before going off and finding a new girl.
This will not develop in to a relationship, boys don't need feelings to have sex, have you ever seen some of the things that soldiers sleep with?
Also if you do decide to sleep with him again, make sure he wears a condom, because I have treated some US soldiers and they have an interesting collection of STIs.
I'm not saying all soldiers are users, but trust me the majority are and you should be very cautious!

 Its a bad idea to have sex with your ex. It brings back all sorts of emotional turmoil that you shouldnt have to deal with. The relationship ended for a reason and now you are in the process of moving on.
You need to start moving on by avoiding contact with him. Each time you guys talk it re-opens the wounds, and he has the ability to control you with statements and questions like "Do you want to have a one night stand just for fun?"

 you should try to understand why he wants to have sex with you when you are broken up.You need to ask him that.

it sounds like your boyfriend is enjoying the idea of having sex with you again as well as being in the army and feeling someone is there to greet him home. but beware all this could be a fantasy. you are interpreting an offer of sex as an offer of a relationship/ people change and 2 years is a long time... just don't let imagination run wild.. when he returns treat this as a new relationship stop negotiating sex or no sex and see how you really feel about this man.. I would restrain myself from having sex until I am sure of what is being offered and what I really can and cant handle.. remember your feelings come first.
