Will we get back together if we love each other?

I had a boyfriend for almost 3 years and I love him very much but in the middle of our relationship I cheated on him it was stupid but I stopped it in 2 days. almost 1 year later he found out and we broke up I still love him and I know he still loves me...

but not as much as he use too. We still talk to each other and he said that we could be friends with benefits and I said o.k. but I want more than that, what should I do? should I do the whole friends with benefits thing? or do you think I am going to get hurt? or do you think that if we love each other then maybe we could get back together? Help I really need some help PLEASE...

It's totally unfair for him to break up with you but think it's okay to have sex with you. Either you are together or you are not. He is using your emotional vulnerability (and your obvious hope that you can get him to change his mind) to get sex. And you are letting him use you in this way. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but when someone is upset about a boyfriend who breaks up with her and tells her you are still my best friend but still keeps the sexual part of the relationship then something is very wrong here. He is taking advantage of you (something a perfect gentleman would never do) and you are setting yourself up for more heartache. Don't you see that? This is not a friendship, so stop kidding yourself. You are suffering and he doesn't care. He is getting exactly what he wants and you are enabling him to continue to hurt you. Real friends don't do that to each other. And you aren't being much of a friend to yourself by agreeing to sex with your ex. You aren't being honest with yourself. (You know it's over for him but you are pretending that if he still wants sex with you then that means he might change his mind.) You are also losing self-respect by being on-call for him sexually.

He doesnt love you, and no matter how much you are hurting, the best thing to do (like I did) is to leave the past behind. You can NOT be friends with someone you still are emotionally attached to!

Consider asking yourself the following six questions:
1. Will having sex with my ex cause emotional pain?
2. Is my ex trying to use sex as a way of getting back into a relationship?
3. Will I be repeating the same patterns of the past with this person by opening up the sexual door?
4. Will I be betraying any promises to myself by allowing this person into my life again, if even in a sexual capacity?
5. How will having sex with my ex cause me to feel afterwards?
6. Are my motives purely physical, or is there something more?
7. Will having sex with this person help me to create a sense of closure or a misguided sense of connection?
8. Am I having sex with the person because of repressed feelings of guilt for breaking off the relationship?
It is easy to allow a physical attraction to a person to get in the way of good judgment.
Don't be afraid to tell your ex-partner that you want to keep the relationship non-sexual. If he cannot accept your wishes then avoid contact with them.

Don't degrade yourself and be friends with benefits. And yes, you AND him will eventually get hurt. No one benefits form friends with benefits.

if you love each other than friends with benifits isnt the answer, friends with benifits only is good, if there arnt n-e emotional strings attached
if your in love then get back 2 gather
