OP, it does not sound you love him at all and you are coming across as very selfish. What it appears to be is that you just want financial security and because that's what your ex gave you and your current partner is not, you think the you love the ex and the solution is to go back to him. It's coming across as greedy and as though you are a user.

If you are unhappy in this relationship then end it and focus on yourself and address any concerns you do have. There was a reason the last relationship ended and evidently you were not compatible. Sometimes when we do have something good we do not appreciate it, it's only when we lose it do we understand.

You come across as very me, me, me and your statement that because you are not happy in your current relationship you think of your ex speaks volumes.

Start over, there's no need for you to be in an unhappy relationship. Furthermore, you cannot go into a relationship hoping the man will be your financial cushion who should be providing for you. There's more to that in a relationship and financial support and sharing is usually in strong relationships not casual etc.

Look at your options and see if there is the opportunity to earn more and be capable to secure by yourself. Search for a man that you are compatible with and can be happy with overall.
