Ex boyfriend trouble. I don't know what to do.. help?

Me any my ex broke up a little over four months ago. We were best friends for 2 years and dated for 9 months. I fell in love with him. He began telling me about how much he wanted to marry me and how he wanted a family with me and that I was the love of his life and the one for him. He put us on a break to try to date another girl and wanted to get back with me. I found this out after we got back together and we broke up. I have a new boyfriend now but I'm still in love with my ex. He is telling me the same stuff that he told me then and he freaks out when I'm with my boyfriend. Everytime I come home from seeing my boyfriend, my ex and I fight a lot. I wind up crying and he tells me that he doesnt want to live without me and that he's scared that my current boyfriend is going to take me away from him and we won't ever have a chance of getting back together. I'm falling into a serious depression and am ready to give up on life. People keep telling me that he is just playing mind games with me. Could this be or is he really telling me how he feels?

Update:

Also, he tells me that if I'm not in his life, he's going to end it. And he wants me to break up with my boyfriend for him but when I told him I'm bi curious he freaked and said break up with my bf and then he'll decide if he wants to be with me or not.

    mind games or not he shouldn't be living there, or interfering period. That defeats the purpose of seeing other people, and its not fair to the ones that you 2 are seeing on the side. I say if 2 are really in love then let your current bf know, and try to work it out with your ex. Depression hurts,I know ive been experiencing it the whole summer (recent break up)but this is this is not worth taking your life, so breathe, and relax. Maybe a day or two to yourself or with friends (w/o contacting him) may help. Take it easy

    I'd like to say he is playing mind games, but I've seen this happen to a lot of people, and the odds are that it's not a mind game. I think he really does care for you, in his own way. He realizes losing you was a mistake and wants you more than anything. He doesn't like your boyfriend because that guy is lucky enough to have you. But here is where it all comes down: how much do you care about each of them?

    You said you were still in love with your ex, but you never said anything about loving your boyfriend. I'm guessing you do though because it wouldn't be hard to give up on him otherwise and go back. Since I can't explain what to do well, I'm going to use part of a book for an analogy to hopefully help you in deciding.

    Tally had to choose between to boys: her ex and her boyfriend. Her ex had been the one to help her live in the wild with everyone else, and had even helped her avoid getting captured and put back in the city. She loved him back then, but after getting put in the city and getting her memories erased, she got a new boyfriend. He was the one who she spent all her time with: getting the nano pills, making mischief, escaping the city, gathering a crew, and even hiding from the city wardens.

    In the end she had to make a choice. Because of all the time she had spent with her boyfriend and all they had been through, she chose him over the other guy she had once loved and still had feelings for.

    It was an ugly choice to have to make, but she thought through it rationally and made a decision. Now I know this isn't a book with a happy ending because this is life, but hopefully you can reason who to choose by thinking it through on who is best for you and why.

    I'm going to tell you the truth. Honestly i don't know how your ex is like but from what you've written i wouldn't trust him either. Oh yeah, don't give up on life, just because there is a bump on the road doesn't mean your just gonna stop. If in the end you feel like you don't love your current boyfriend enough and that you ex is just going to hurt you again. I would suggest you tell the truth to you boyfriend and then lay off dating for a while. Well until you have your life back in order and you are no longer depressed, but please just don't give up.

    I wouldnt suggest believing him because honestly if he really meant all of what he said about you he would never put you guys on a break and date another girl. It's just that now as he sees that you have gotten a new bf, he's probably feeling insecure thinking you're happy with someone else.

    Also if you still have not gotten over your ex, you shouldnt be with your current bf, give it some time so you forget him and wait till you're ready for a relationship. :)

    You know you need to let go of this guy hes just messing with you and he needs to realize you wont be around waiting for him to decide if you are or not good enough for him not to mention its not fair to your current boyfriend. just focus on the relationship you have now and forget him it seems like he'll just hurt you more and no guy is worth that. moving on is the best thing you could do at this point, so good luck(:
