i would just go with the person i really deep down in my heart love the most. if you are at age 40 you need to start staying with just one man for the rest of your life. you need to slow things down and really think about it. who have you been with longer, who do you know better, who treats you better, who calls you baby and makes you happy? these are things you need to think of and ask yourself.

good luck

You need to spare your current bf a large amount of heart ache and let him go--you will never be in love with him or anyone else b/c you are still in love with your ex. The feelings you have for your ex is not wrong, it's the fact that you dragged an innocent guy into this mess when you knew that you were still in love with your ex is where the problem is.

Your ex is moving on, maybe you should do the same. Your decision to make is for yourself, not for your ex or bf.

You have a great boyfriend in your life, he shouldn't have to fight for your love or to just to have only you. I also don't see much of a triangle here. Just because your ex said it was one, does't mean it really is and it would only be a triangle if you allow it to be.

You are 40 years old, try to act more like an adult and less like a teenager. Make a decision and stick to it. Best be careful, you end up alone and miserable. Take some time off to clear your head, and ask your self some goal oriented questions like "where do i see myself in a few years" or "who is it do i want to spend the rest of my life with", that sort of stuff.

The only one who has the answer to your problems, is you. Good Luck.
