confused . need some help.?

i had ended my relationship with my ex live in partner who happened legally separated by his spouse of course. becasue he maltreated me ,inspite and despite of everything,for 4 long years ,i decided to end our relationship. i was physically battered by him and eventually verbally abused by him.

my friends were happy with the decisions i made. for them ,that iwas awakened finally. they told me to be online chat talking new friends from abroad, go dating, occupied myself from work, which i've done recently.

in my friendster account ,there is a guy who treated me well, he accept my past, he called me up in my mobile phone. he is coming home soon. it was too late for me to find out that he is the younger brother of my ex bf. he is willing to see me in person this coming feb 4,2008.

my problem is, my ex is always begging forgiveness and willing to change. i still love him but my friends says No to my ex. i do not know if i am going to let his brother from ABROAD to see me in person.
