Take some time out from both of them and decide which you want.

If you split with one of them again, give yourself some space to get over it before you start with someone new, otherwise it isn't fair on either of them.

Laura1318 agony auntIf you like your current g/f , you need to stay away or avoid your ex or you will lose your g/f. She will not like it and it will make her unhappy.

Even though you haven't really admitted it but it seems those feelings have started developing already.How do you expect those feelings not to develop when you are constantly communicating with your ex.Concetrate on your new gf if you want things to work.Coz what you are doing is digging an emotional pit which you are gonna fall into yourself.The only way to avoid what you fear from happening is to stop thinking about her too much and you can only do that by stop chatting with her da way you usually do right now.

Good Luck.

fleita agony aunti'd suggest that you stop talking to your ex for a while and spend some time alone to sort out your feelings for her and your current gf. tell your ex you're doing this because you don't want anything to ruin this wonderful friendship between you two. It may be a difficult task, but you gotta do something before it affects your current relationship. Good luck
