Relationship advice please!

I really need help making a decision... It's a rather long story so I apologize in advance, but thank you so very much for reading and hopefully giving me the advice I so desperately need. I just broke up with my boyfriend of about a year and 3 months. He is the best boyfriend I have ever had. He loves me unconditionally and would do anything for me, but I just don't have strong romantic feelings for him. I absolutely do love him, but more as a friend. I love spending time with him and talking to him and even cuddling, but I have zero interest in being sexual with him. At the beginning I did have romantic feelings for him, but that stopped when I got pregnant nearly 1 year ago. We were too young to have a baby (I'm almost 21 and he is 22 now), so I don't blame him for not wanting to keep the baby, but that doesn't change how much it hurt to have the procedure... I never really forgave him. Well we broke up about a week ago and he is so crushed and I really do miss him. Is it possible for me to get those romantic feelings back? We're both hoping that this breakup will help with that... There's another issue as well. My high school sweetheart recently came back into the picture. We dated for 3 years and broke up about 2 years ago. The romance was definitely alive in that relationship. Back then we were madly in love one day, then fighting like cats and dogs the next. We were immature and wanted different things in life. Well we have been talking a lot more lately because he is going through a family crisis and needs some emotional support. He seems to have completely changed. He always used to say he never wanted to get married and have children, but now he absolutely does. Of course we have our own trust issues. We always joke around that our relationship was so messed up that we ruined each other for anyone else. He also has always said that if we had met each other in college instead of his freshman year of high school we would have lasted forever. But we definitely challenge each other occasionally. He is taking care of his very sick father who is great at pressing his buttons, and because he can't say anything to his dad, he sometimes takes it out on his friends (and me). Usually he just vents about his dad, but sometimes he does start arguments. I usually just let it roll off, but sometimes it gets very hard to bear and we do butt heads. I'm worried that that behavior would continue long into the future. I know I don't have to choose either one of them, but I want to. Which should I choose?

Your a fool. I'm not saying keep either, but the old boy friend is just using you. If it didnt work then, its not gonna work now.

I would say that you need to step away from both of these guys and find yourself. Neither of these men sound right for you at all. So go live life alone for a bit and enjoy yourself. I'm certain you will find a positive relationship when you least expect it, I know I did.
