Two days ago my ex boyfriend and I hung out , and we went to watch a movie together. When he dropped me off at my house I started to make out with him. I am currently am dating someone and he asked me to break up with my boyfriend to be with him. I have known this guy ever since high school and we have dated twice before. We did not necessarily break up because of bad reasons, and we have remained friends ever since. My ex boyfriend is currently in the army and I have been dating my current boyfriend for over two years. MY ex expects to be deployed to Iraq next year and I feel that it is really unfair of him to ask me to break up with my boyfriend since he knows he has other obligations. I still love my ex, but I don' t see our relationship being stable. After that night we made out he has been asking me if I have broken up with my boyfriend yet. I think it is stupid and selfish of him to think it would be so easy for me to break up with my boyfriend when he has been there every step of the way. I don't see myself being happy with my bf, and I do want excitement in my life. So is my ex boyfriend being selfish to ask me to break up with my current boyfriend?

Yes, he is being a little selfish, but he figured you agreed to go out with him on a date, that you allowed him to make out with you, and that you have at least considered the possibility of dumping your current boyfriend to be with him. Doesn't sound very selfish now after reading that does it? Ask your current boyfriend what he thinks of you agreeing, allowing and thinking about all that if you are not sure what to do. You have a lot of "past" with your ex, and that is something that will probably never go away (the excitement you feel now, etc.), so personally, I think you owe it to your current to either be honest and tell him it's over, or drop your ex completely and never look back.

PS - Your ex would really like having someone to come home to when finished with his deployment. Morale is a hard thing to hold onto while you are alone. Given your past, even if you decide to stick with your current, you will probably always have doubts and "What if"'s associated with your ex, so it would be better (if you decide to go with your ex) to tell your current NOW rather than later when your ex comes back around again. Besides, you said yourself that you don't see yourself being happy with your current boyfriend, so why prolong the unhappiness for you and break his heart (he has been there every step of the way) harder later?

well you are making him keep asking you out. you are the one who was making out with him while you have an man already. I don't think he is being selfish at all. of course he is going to ask you t2 break up with your boyfriend. you are leading him on a little. especially when you was kissing him. I think you are kind of being selfish and need t2 stop what you are doing. cause you keep leading him on making think that maybe you will choose him one day.
