Hi E.,

My significant other and I have been together for about 6 months. He’s the perfect boyfriend and we don’t have any problems outside of normal relationship tiffs. Here’s the thing, when we got together my ex and I had just broke up over something really petty and we never really closed things. The more I’m with my new boyfriend the more I realize that I’m still in love with my ex. I can’t bring myself to tell him because he’s been great to me and I don’t want to hurt him. 
 
Unfaithful Heart.
 
 
Aww… Unfaithful Heart I’ve been there. This is a tough situation because like you said, your new guy has been awesome to you.
 
You said that you and your ex broke up for something petty. Petty could mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Ultimately it was something worth you two parting ways for. Going backwards may not be such a good idea. But I know, the heart wants what the heart wants. Yada, yada, yada….
 
Well, one thing is for sure, you have to be upfront and honest with your new beau. It’ll hurt him a little but I’m sure it would hurt even more if he finds out from someone else that you’ve been half heartedly in a relationship with him. Honesty is always the best policy.
 
What I like to do when faced with a relationship challenges is to put myself in the other person’s shoes and see things from their point of view. I’ve found that if I truly treat people the way I want to be treated my character is kept in check.
 
A word of advice though. My motto for ex lovers, “Ex means move to the next”. Honey, change is good. I hope everything works out for you.
 
 
Peace & Love
E
