Dear Miss Emily:

My ex, whom I was madly in love with, left me two years ago. He has been living with his current girlfriend for the past year.  We have hooked up a few times in the past year. He misses the sex and wants to arrange for us to be intimate again.  He is the only one I've been with, and I am seriously considering this. I want him back, but I don't know what I should do.

----------------------Miss Emily's advice------------------

Has it crossed your mind that you'd continue to be a secret he keeps under the bed until he drags you out for sex? Do you really want to be that person for him? He misses the sex, but not the life he had with you. Do you truly believe you'll get him back by allowing him to have the best of both worlds? I think you'd be foolish to get caught up in this game. You'll end up betrayed, and hating yourself for allowing this to happen when you could have prevented it. It is a choice, and you are responsible for the choices you make. You cannot blame him if you let yourself be used. I feel sorry for you, but I really feel sorry for the girl who thinks he's faithful and she's enough for him. Neither one of you ladies is enough for him! At least you and she have that in common. Together, you two make a whole (or should that be "hole"?)
