If you "don't know how to say no", you are still being too selfish to enjoy the benefits of a relationship, or the company of someone who fully opens up to you.. because once you are in a real relationship, it's not just about you "not feeling like saying no", it's about saying NO for the person you care about, and if you can't even do that, you aren't ready to give either of these guys what they need and it's unfair to promise them something you can't give.
If your ex isn't talking to you anymore it is most likely because he's trying to move on, so let him. Keep in mind you both were hurt. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but you're worried that dating your best friend (which you obviously want to do) might screw up your chances of getting back with an ex you cheated on.. your decision is made, i don't think you need anyone's help on this one.
