I'm currently seeing someone cool, but my ex of two years has just started messaging me again. Cute, lusty things and admitting to his faults but not trying to get back with me (explicitly, anyway). But he’s also saying he still truly loves me??? My heart’s confused. What should I do?

Unless he is some kind of undeniable Odysseus character, he needs the full snip out of your life before he ruins your present.
Don’t watch a Kate Hudson film, because they always get back together, and she leaves the glossy woman’s magazine to write long-form activist journalism, and we all know that’s not true.
