How do you decide?

How do you decide between two people? I have been with my current for one and a half years, and my ex boyfriend I have known for 4... I love my current, but if my ex said go I would be there in a heartbeat.. I don't want to hurt anybody by going either way but I refuse to cheat on anyone.. I don't know what to do, I love both of them too much to be comfortable going either way, so what do I do? Should I stay or should I go? lol

Ex..es are ex.. es for a reason you two tried it and it didn't work. Why do you think it would be different this time? Have things changed so much?.. have you ever heard of the book "it's called a break up cause it is broken?" You might want to read it ..good book. you love your ex...but beside it not working you could wreck the friendship you two have established and the bf you have now too.. I say "don't go backwards if it didn't work then.it won't work now"

If you have to even ask...you already know the answer. If you would leave your current bf in a heartbeat then you need to do so ASAP!!! Because he's a royal pain in the rear. I can get a good price on the plane tickets..you have 2 weeks to decide, lol ;-) (by the way everyone~we know eachother personally)

I think it depends on why you broke up with your ex. And why you want to return to him. If, say, you broke up in a heated argument, after having numerous arguments involving yelling, screaming (hopefully no hitting..) than you shouldn't go back. It's probably best you're apart. If you broke up peacefully, for some agreed reason, than it may be worth looking back into. Say for college, you wanted space. Weren't sure (often you're young, and just need to make sure there isn't anyone else for you.) But, you current boyfriend is being cheated out of a real relationship. If you're thinking of someone else so seriously, than chances are that your current relationship isn't up to par. So you are at a crossroads. If you'd "be there in a heartbeat" for your ex, you should try to think why. Was he good in bed? Or did you two have awesome conversations till the break of dawn with a bucket of ben and jerrys? (I prefer hagendas..) The first one isn't the best reason to run back to someone, but the latter may be promising. But if your current boyfriend is nearly perfect (mind you, everyone has quirks) perhaps you should sit down with him and figure out how to strengthen your relationship, so that your ex doesn't even cross your mind anymore. It can be very rough. And sometimes you want to stay with a person merely because of the history and dreams you made together. You should listen to your heart and brain equally, and ignore your lusty side for the most part. (Difficult sometimes.) I hope whatever you chose, it ends up well ^.^
