As long as there are three people in the equation, it won't be easy to decide. While dating for the sake of dating is ok, I get the feeling you were involved with your boyfriend, as in an exclusive relationship, had problems, met someone else, then tried to patch things up. But 5 months is a long time. This time in your life is going to be filled with changes, nature of college. You are in an environment that is basically closed, until you graduate that is your environment, when you get out of college, your environment will change and so will your situation.
I suggest you take advantage of the free counseling available on campus. It will give you a safe place to sort out your emotions and provide you with some direction.
How many more years to you have left of college? Can't your boyfriend start his business where you are, without having to wait. He's willing to make sacrafices for the relationship, but I'm not sure you are, as you are afraid to let go of this other guy and miss out on the opportunity of a relationship with him.
