I'm confused... I don't know what to do with my ex..?

I know my ex bf for 10 years.. We had a serious relationship about 6 years ago and were like friends with benefits 3 years ago.. Ok here is the thing.. Last year I met some one and I fell for him right away and I got pregnant ( I didnt plan it but it happened) I knew my relationship was not going any where with this person and he broke it up when I was 5 months pregnant.. I been alone since then and now my baby is 8 months old.. About two weeks ago I was really depress and I called my ex bf (me and my ex never lost contact.. we had always keep in touch) and he came over my place and after I put my baby to sleep we ended up having sex, that night it felt great being with some one and cudle with him etc, but the next day I felt really confused because I have responsabilities now.. I can't be doing this kind of things (thats what I thought)... any way I didnt mention to him how I was feeling.. Last week he invited me for dinner so I asked my sister to stay with my baby and she accepted since that was the first time me going out after 1 1/2 years (since I got pregnant).. Any who, I went out with him and I ended up having sex with him again, but this time I started crying after wards, because when we were in the middle of it; all it came in my mind was my baby's father and my baby. I couldnt stop crying and I didnt want to be with my ex boyfriend.. But now when I think about the time we were kissing etc, makes me smile, but at the same time I dont want to do it again, because we are not even serious dating and I dont think he is what I want for me any more. Other thing I'm terrify just to think that I could get pregnat again. I do not want more kids at all. Plus he just broke up with his gf ... I want to have that cudling thing and have sex with some one, but I want a serious relationship it feels good with him because I already know him and he was my first one and I was his first one and i think thats what keep us messing around with each other even thou, that we know is not going to work.. My question is should I just have him as friends with benefits? or just cut him off because I have a child and I dont want to have another misstake? Me and him will not going to work because I dont trust him.. we broke up because he used to cheated on me all the time.. Now he is my best friend and he tells me everything as friend I trust him but as a man I DONT.. Please advise.. I'm trying to finish college and I'm a single mom, and I know I can find some one better for me but at the same time I feel lonely and I need sex..

Update:

i dont have sex with out protection..NO WAY! I think I'm still inlove with my baby's father thou

    Yes, what he did was cheating. Unfortunately, how that makes you feel is secondary to what's more important. Your primary concern has to be what's best for your baby. That means you have to try to make things work. Kids need a father and a mother. And a single mother can't play both of those roles. Regardless of what some people might say, a mother alone can only fulfill the mother role. If he's taken these steps, it sounds like he wants to make things right. He has told you that he did it just to get attention. This all started around the same time as your baby was born. Is there a possibility that you've ignored him since then? Guys are too stoic to tell you that they need some attention. Unfortunately, the way guys tell you this is they start chatting with other girls or going and hanging out at strip clubs.

    Hi there,

    Personally I think you're confusing yourself by keeping on seeing him. It's understandable that your somewhat lonely and the fact that he has just broken up with a GF makes it seem like your using each other as a fall back for security. Understandably you need to be held, loved and sexed but at the same time it's slightly a destructive circle thats difficult to break. If you want to really break the cycle and be able to concentrate fully on your baby and study then you will have to stop seeing him altogether. With regards to love, life and sex, try occasional dating and maybe a vibrator to help you through the rougher times. The dating may lead to occasional sex if you so desire and possibly a loving relationship however I am aware what with you commitments dating will be difficult but hey thats what the vibrators for:)

    Hope you get sorted out and I was some use.

    Oh wow. You're in a tough situation. I'd say you know the toughest, hardest choice is the right one for you now. Write him, talk to him, but sex with him right now is too confusing and emotional. Focus on what's best for you in the long run--finishing college, raising your child, and providing for your child. When you've conquered these very tough goals, consider whether he is the kind of man you want in your life--whether you'd want your child to pattern him or herself after this man. Cultivate your platonic relationships and see a counselor for your depression. Relationships that begin when you're depressed end up being skewed.

    Use a condom. No offense meant. Just straight talk. If you don't want another child-use a condom-first and foremost. THEN worry about the emotional effects. Your child needs you there-and if you get some sexually transmitted disease, you are not being there for your child. Additionally. condoms have been shown to work quite well, when abstinence is not an option.

    It's going to be very difficult to make the decision to leave him but cut him out of your life. Eventually, you will meet someone who you can cuddle with, have sex and do things as a couple without having to sneak around. He might be on the rebound and using you for sex. When he meets someone else he might not need you anymore. Think about it best of luck to you.

    wow this is a tough one. 1st of all you need to get on the pill so you can be SURE that you wont get preggers again. TRUST ME i've seen it happen to many of my friends! 2nd of all if you think you can bang him and not get your feelings involved then go ahead. however judging from your history with this guy it might not happen like that. even though do you really want to be with someone who's gonna be cheating on you all the time? i say move on! it's about time.

    Maybe he isn't the best choice for you if you still have feelings for him and all you want is something not serious. If you truly can never trust him, then stop hanging out with him.

    no.. you shouldn't be looking for someone else. you should get together with him. now he can be trusted. he is the only person you can seek help and if he accepts to take care of ur child then u keep moving with him. that's best one to do..

    You said it yourself - "I know I can find some one better for me" you know you are better off without him and can do better for yourself - so go do it girl! find someone who will treat you right!
