I've witnessed the more your boyfriend hugs you and the tighter he holds on to you, is an indication of his affection and love for you getting deeper and he's wanting to keep you close to him, because he doesn't want to lose you. Some guys just aren't good at voicing their feelings, therefore, as the girl, learning to read body language and actions will speak louder of his feeling and his intentions, then his words ever could. Also, sometimes when a guy hugs a girl he's romantically involved with tight, it is an indication of his insecurities about you; wondering whether or not you truly love him or want to be with him, and him squeezing you tighter is a way for him to keep you from going away, as well. In the end, if you really want to know, then be bold and assertive and just ask your boyfriend why he's doing that now. Then you'll know for sure and you won't have to guess. That's my bottom line.

it honest could be either one because I think he loves me now more than ever and his last girlfriend didn't really love him or I should say wasn't sure I'd she did but I try my best to make sure he knows that I love him

and it probably makes it worse that they dated for over a year and he ended up getting to attached to her (which caused him to not want to get attached to me for a while)

Then that is what you should continue doing. Displaying your love for him and letting him know how much you really do love him and if he wants to keep you close or hold you just a little bit tighter to reassure himself then lean into him and hug him tightly back in return. Let him know you're there for him always and that you're not going anywhere; you'll stay at his side no matter what... if that's how you feel.

And in doing so you'll erase the heartache and insecurity he may still be feeling because of the break up with the other girl he got too attached to. The more you keep close to him and display how much you love for him, the more confident hopefully he'll become.

One never knows what the future is going to hold for us. All we can do is perform the best we're able and keep hope and faith alive in a positive way. I concur hopefully you'll be able to keep him longer this time, but if it doesn't happen, don't let it destroy who you are, because sometimes you can do everything right and still not get the outcome you were wanting. You can't really control the actions of others, only your own, so just do the best you can and take solace in the fact you did do the best you could.

You answered your own question. He wants to be with you and he sounds like a keeper. He must have had the hugest crush on you as well.
