I don't want any of that. I want my current bf and to remain friends with the ex. Not sure if that's going to be possible at this rate. I do want to develop that relationship with my current bf, I love him dearly. I consulted him about it and he pretty much says to stay away. I'll do that for him. I do care about my bf and he treats me so well. I don't want to risk that over something like this.
Your boyfriend is being reasonable by asking you to stay away from this guy. I worry though that his asking is the only reason you are staying away. Like I said before, he probably does have some decent qualities, but this guy has demonstrated in the past, and is demonstrating right now, that your feelings are not a priority to him. You should want to avoid him for your own sake, not simply because you've been asked to.
I think your problem goes beyond being excessively polite. Maybe I'm wrong, and I'm not trying to attack you or anything, but it sounds like you are maybe the type to let people walk all over you. I've seen people, people I care very much about, with that personality type end up very badly hurt because of it. I hope that you can learn the importance of looking out for your own feelings before that happens.
