I think that in order to be honest with others, we first have to be honest with ourselves. If you love your current girlfriend, then you should ask yourself why you´re wondering if it could be better with your ex.
Some people are okay with open relationships but in my opinion, all parties involved should know where they stand and if it is all okay with them then it should be ok.
When someone is confused about which partner they should be with, again, in my opinion, they ought to spend time alone and figure out what and who they really want. Being alone makes you connect with your inner self better and thus become a better partner and person. It also avoids hurting your significant other(s).
