    The new is always better than the old - if only because we know better what we can and cannot deal with. Don't ignore the sparks, honey! Go for it.

    Peace!

    Sweetheart, do yourself a favour and leave them both. You don't deserve to be put through hell because there is tremendous chemistry between you and your ex of 8 years. And if you're not happy with the new guy then leave him too. You deserve mush better than what you're taking and putting your feelings last. Do yourself a favour. Disconnect from realtionships and the rest of the world, sit down with yourself and think about what it is that turns you on when it comes to love and take it from there. Going back to the arms of your ex might hurt you more than you think.

    Cos think about it this way. You were with him while he was in a relationship with someone else and if that's the case, then what is he going to be like when the two of you are together again. It's worth thinking about CAREFULLY!!!

    Hope this helps...

    There is a reason why he is your "EX". Think about it for a while and remember what reason he is your "ex". Most "ex's" are comfortable when you are lonely but like those comfortable pair of slippers eventually they wear out. Go out and find some new sparks, they are out there just waiting for you.

    forget why he became the ex in the first place? addiction is what makes you look back at an ex....the comfortable slipper cause....why repeat the mistake that you SHOULD HAVE LEARNED the first time with him.

    people are who they are by the age of 13....they do not change after that no matter what some might say.

    properly i think of that he's in basic terms scarred from his final dating. He have been given harm. it is not luggage, it is quite somewhat his soul it is long gone. subsequently, via fact of his final dating he can't provide all of himself to you anymore. each time you have intercourse or are in a dating it is such as you provide little products of your coronary heart away. so which you by no potential have that total coronary heart back back. i think of he's often in basic terms careful, and fearful of stepping into yet another dating the place he's not particular it is going to final. truthfully i think of that via fact which you adult males have already had intercourse you proved to him which you will. So he's possibly thinking that in case you gave it up that quite to him, what's going to you do if yet another guy comes around. i'm prepared to guess which you think of that comparable factor approximately him specifically circumstances too. it is the curse of premarital intercourse. Now with all that being reported, it is glaring he has solid emotions for you, in any different case he would not have felt the could desire to "guard his territory" from that different guy like that. All you're able to do is reassure him. permit him understand the type you experience. permit him understand what you assume from a dating with him, and the place you spot it heading. Then provide him area. permit him come to you. do no longer tension it on him. permit him make certain while you're top for him. My wager is this dating is going to take a ton of communique. you will continually could desire to communicate the place you stand, and the place you're heading, via fact he is going to wish that confirmation. via fact that he's clearly nevertheless wounded from this different female. And definite it is a scar. His issues from he previous dating will by no potential go away thoroughly. yet perhaps you would be his mederma. ;D

    Your ex is your ex because he exited your life. Don't ex around with your ex unless you want to repeat the same old ex and want to be known as a expert fool!
