I feel terrible. My boyfriend and I are really happy, but he's still paranoid about this other guy. And to be honest, there is still chemistry there on some level. I don't want my boyfriend to be insecure. But I don't wanna lie to him either.

This happened to me...and my boyfriend and I have stayed together for a year and a half so far. Be completely honest with your boyfriend. Let him know that he has to understand that there will always be chemistry between you and your ex, but that doesn't mean that this will come between the two of you. Make him feel secure by telling him what he wants to hear. Afterall, you say that you care more about him than your ex, and that's the truth! He wants to hear how much more he means to you than this other guy. It'll take time, too, but he will get over it. You'd feel the same way if you were in his shoes. I know I would.

Hope this helps!

Lie to him. The above post was clearly a girl that understood little of the innerworkings of the male ego. The fact that you're still attracted to your ex is just a /feeling/ (which of course has little power in the male mind) and it doesn't really matter if it's true or not as long as you won't act on it. If it doesn't change your behaviour towards him at all why does he have to know? The thing that will irk him though, is the fact that he has competition with this other guy. This could forseeably cause major problems in your relationship, that is, only if you tell him about it.
