Plus, why would he break up with you for a month or so every summer? Sounds like he's been trying to take a break so he can do something he shouldn't be doing. Does he hook up with other people in that time while you're broken up? Well, apparently he has at least once since he got a new girl and made you jealous.
The thing you need to realise is that you're both going to be jealous. He got a new girl and you got jealous, but at that point you were into a new guy as well, so I'm sure he'd be jealous about that, too.
For a while things will be weird and you'll miss each other because you've been together for so long. You'll be depressed and jealous and so will he, even if he doesn't act like it publically. That's just a natural part of the breaking up process; especially when you've been dating for a long time.
The relationship just doesn't sound healthy at all to me. I think the first thing you need to focus on is breaking up with the guy you're currently with. Then, give yourself some time to get over it. Don't try to jump into a relationship with the guy you met last summer. If you do, you won't be fully over your ex and you'll just end up hurting the new guy more.
After you've given yourself a while to heal from the last relationship and get over it, then you can try to date the guy from last summer. While you're getting over your ex, you can talk to the guy from last summer. Just let him know that you're not wanting to jump into a relationship with him because you're trying to get fully over your ex before you get into another relationship. It's good to become good friends with someone before you date them anyway.
