Should I be with someone I love or someone who is good for me?

Question

I have recently been seeing someone the past month. We aren't exclusive, just taking things slow and going on dates. He seems like the perfect guy. He knows what he's doing with his life etc.
And then I got reconnected with my first ex whom I dated 3 years before. I've always had a soft spot for him. We broke up due to many things and most of it was because of his depression. Now he seems a lot better and have matured.
I feel like I still love him, but I'm also kind of seeing someone else. Here is where my dilemma comes. Should I continue reconnecting with my ex who I love or just forget that and try continue with the guy I'm seeing and who seems good for me?

Answer

Ek! Your ex is a no go. I would stick with the new guy who treats you good. You can always love an ex but being in love with them is different. If you’re still in love with him it sounds like you need to be single and not be in a relationship right at this moment and also make it clear to the new guy.

Answer

Give the new guy a chance, you could fall in love with him too and then you’ll be with someone you love who is also good for you.

Answer

Stay away from your ex.

Answer

Ex's are ex's for a reason. Sometimes there will always be a soft spot for a ex. That doesn't mean you should go back to that person. It's better to give a new person a chance than going back to a ex.

I guess I’ll swing in here with my different opinion 😂 I’m not sure how old you are but here is my story. I dated a boy from 7th grade to 9th. On and off for that who time, our relationship was FAR from perfect but i knew even way back then that i was in love with him. We officially broke things off for good in 10th grade and didn’t speak to each other for the rest of high school. I got engaged to someone new and moved to the other side of the country after high school. The engagement ended a year later and I was about two weeks away from moving back home (where he still lived) when he randomly reached out to me via text. We hadn’t spoken in about three or so years at this point. He messaged me for advice about another girl I used to be friends with and asked me about life. He was shocked to hear I had ended my engagement (i hadnt publicly announced it yet). We ended up FaceTiming that night for hours and we fell asleep on FaceTime together. The rest, as they say, is history. We’ve been together nearly four years now and are expecting our first kid in September. Now, my story is obviously the exception to the rule here and NOT the rule but I guess what I’m saying is if you really do still love him and know in your heart, I think you owe it to yourself to give it  another shot. If you don’t, you might spend the rest of your life wondering “what if”

Answer

Your ex is an ex for a reason. 
You’re willing to give up this new man who seems perfect and has his life together because your ex “seems” like he is mentally doing better? That sounds like a big mistake to me.

Answer

Leave the ex in your past. Do not go back to that.

Answer

I don't think u should be with the new guy.. if u really liked him enough.. u wouldn't be thinking about ur ex.
I also wouldn't jump into ur exes arms either.. alot of things have changed in the time u two have been apart.. u don't know him.
U can take it slow with ur ex.. see if things really have changed.. don't look through love dream eyes.
