Please can I have a private post?

Long story short, I fell pregnant and my ex left as he wasn’t ready to be a dad. He and I stayed in touch throughout my pregnancy and also when our son was born, and he actually wanted to be in his life but take small steps towards it. Our son is now 4 1/2 and he has been a brilliant dad to him, however he still holds back a bit through fear.
The problem I need help with is that he and I are still very much in love, are bestest friends, and continued to still sleep together and do things together – although he didn’t want to be in a relationship for ages. I decided that I really did want to settle so told him that we were just to be parents, and I am now with someone else (been together for just under a year)
BUT no matter what, my heart and head are very much towards my son’s daddy, and he is also saying he wants to get back together
All my family and friends hate him (due to leaving me pregnant and not being very supportive initially) and no matter how much I’ve told them he makes us happy and is brilliant now, they will not change their minds!
So my predicament is; do I steer clear of getting back with my son’s daddy for an easier life and to keep my friends and family, which will also mean the possibility of never feeling so strongly and happy about someone again and having to settle? Or do I go back to him and risk losing everyone else?
I’m a people pleaser, and hate upsetting anyone and I will always put my son first! He loves his dad so much and is thriving in general, so I’m worried my decision will effect him too!
Sorry for such a long message, I’m struggling with this and have no where left to turn.
