He has admitted he has feelings for me and not sure if he&#8217;ll ever get over me, but I just dont know if he loves me genuinely.<\/p>\n<p>Its now five years since we broke up and so much has happened: I have a child and he recently got out of a relationship with someone that he cared deeply for. He told me his girlfriend left him for petty reasons but he has changed over the years (no longer cheats).<\/p>\n<p>We have discussed getting back together but we both have alot of questions and doubts.\u00a0 But I do love him very much.\u00a0 We are both single and have always maintained\u00a0 good communication between us.<\/p>\n<p>Is it wise to get back in a relationship after a five-year break up?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Confused<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dear Confused,<\/p>\n<p>So you two were high school sweethearts for 6-7 years but then he got someone else pregnant. This is the first red flag. If he had loved you genuinely from back then, this would have never happened.<\/p>\n<p>Then he got into another relationship but has now broken up because of &#8220;petty reasons,&#8221; as he said. I think this happened because he cheated as he cheated on you during your high school sweetheart years..<\/p>\n<p>It seems your ex is good at cheating and this has been destroying successive relationships. Hence tread with caution. Don&#8217;t jump into anything with him right now. Keep the good communication between the two of you going. Take into consideration you have a child and children always complicate matters. Just make sure you don&#8217;t fall in a trap that you will regret later on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bella<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a problem? Write to Dear Bella at    dominicanewsonline@gmail.com.
