Dear Diana,

I'm in a serious relationship. He loves me a lot, but I don't get what I want or desire easily. I always get that after telling him about it. This started about seven months back. He's hurting me over little things. There's this one thing in particular: my first love is back in my life.

When we first met, he had a girlfriend he has been physical with. Two years on, he told me everything about her and their relationship. On hearing he had sex with her, I stopped fantasising about getting back with him. My confusion is: should I go ahead (simply as a friend) forgetting his past and all? And besides, he knew I liked him then but he chose to ignore me and is now saying he loves me. I told him we could only be friends. But somewhere deep down I feel, "Why not... if he's good for me?"
