Am I doing the right thing with my ex?
About a year ago my exboyfriend and I broke up. We had been living together and we fought all the time. He broke up with me and I was devastated but after a month we started hanging out and sleeping together. After awhile I realized we were not getting back together and that I wasn't that interested in him anymore but we still hung out and had sex. I started looking around. Recently I found someone I really like spending time with and before it got too serious (and it still hasn't) I decided to tell my ex we could no longer have sex. I still have feelings for him but I don't think we could ever live together again. He is acting like I lead him on. He is begging me to stay with him. Telling me he will fulfill all of my expectations in my relationship (kids, marriage, less anger) but I am just too excited about the possibility of a fresh relationship. I don't know that this other guy is the one but I am enjoying my time so much with him I want to try. Even if it is not I think that my ex and I should separate ourselves and find other people. He thinks I am the one for him. I still love him. I have very mixed feelings about the whole thing. Even if he did change, would it be right? Would it help? What I am really asking is what other people think about the situation. Am I doing the wrong thing? Am I a bad person? How do I know if I am making a mistake? He says he will wait for me and I told him not to. Please help!

It's all up to you, you only get to live on life have fun but don't mess it up.
I had a kind of ex that said he would wait for me, he says he did but how am I to know he also hasn't found people along the way. Or pehaps he just can't get enough of the sex, becasue with my 'ex thats waiting' he is always active when I see him and so we end up in the wrong situation
lots of people get into these kinds of situations.
if i were you i would get to know this new guy you met, and if you are not interested then give your ex a try.
but if someone has hurt you and says they will change, just think:
"change is sharder then it sounds."
so dont get your hopes too high.
but hang in there, youll find a way.
This guy (your "ex") can't do anything right: he was a screw up to live with; couldn't break it off cleanly (the sex); and wants to screw you over emotionally and torpedo the new guy (potentially) in your life.
The only thing you should feel bad about is being a door mat, & being made to feel guilty for nothing. You've been that for too long.
Cut him out of your life. He is manipulative & bad news.
