<human>: Using a throw away obviously. Last days have been hectic and sorry for the long post.
Background: Me and my ex have been together for 8 months until August. We broke up because he left for college in another country and we didn't want to pursue a LDR. We got along pretty well , we were both stubborn but we always managed to resolve our conflicts. I can say that what we had was special , and the break up was hard but it was for the best. 

After we broke up we remained friends and still are. We talk almost every day, about everything, he is always there to listen and we are almost like best friends.
We ask each other for advices in the matter of dating and nothing it's weird and there are no hard feelings. 

Now onto the problem: He came this weekend in the town I'm currently studying for the weekend. He missed his friends and he hasn't been in the country since August. He slept at my place. Before he came we talked about what would happen when he came, and we got to the conclusion that if neither of us had a girlfriend/boyfriend we would sleep together, mess around like old times. There was always attraction between us and the sex was always amazing so why not. 

Well , this past weekend we acted like we were a couple , hand holding, hugs , and we had amazing sex. Everything was going great until we asked each other what are we feeling.
I don't know how I feel , some part of me will always love him , and he told he still loves me but not the same. I care for him , he cares for me but neither of us wants to get back together. 

I don't know what I feel. Is this normal ? Are going to get hurt ? He is coming home for Christmas and we all know how it's going to be. Are friends with benefits? I'm just confused about this , because it feels normal in a weird way. Hope someone can bring some light in here.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: I slept with my ex. Everything felt normal and I don't know if I moved on or I am lying to myself. Need advice.
