Ex's are ex's for a reason, it doesn't seem like either one of you are ready for the relationship

I'm sorry, but he doesn't want to be with you in a mature and loving sort of way. You were without him for 5 months, you can do more. You're returning and hoping for nothing. If you really wanted him as a friend or boyfriend neither of it would be so hard and painful. Move on. You'll feel better with time and without drama.

It is possible to reconnect but it will not be good. There will always be resentment. On top of this he broke up with you cause he was too busy and now he is just as busy. All he could make for you was an hour to talk? Should have been dinner or something that lasted much longer. You will not be able to stay friends given your past and you new boyfriend will not like this, on top of the fact that you don't know what the heck you want yourself. Why be with anyone who doesn't have time for you? You are a princess and that is in my opinion how you should be treated. A man is here to make a woman happy and it doesn't sound like either of these two have the time to make you happy. (of course the opposite is true about women as well). I suggest not going after this guy. Honestly I have to wonder why some people ask such questions here, they already know the answer clear as day but still they ask. Really how did you want us to answer? Here's one for you, why not have them both and just have fun and break both their hearts? Or go back to the ex, get dumped, and go back to the other ex to get dumped. I mean if that's what you wanted to hear then I guess you asking wasn't as irrational as it seems but come on.
