Is it worth it?

My boyfriend used to have this really controlling girlfriend who practically stalked him and attempted to come between him and his best friend. He was over her and liked me long before they broke up, but felt he couldn't break up with her because she liked him so much. She treatedhim really badly, even cheating on him with his best friend.

We started going out about two months after they broke up but she, who I used to be friends with, constantly flirted with him even when I was there which really hurt me and I didn't have the backbone to talk to her about it. Instead I just walked away whenever she came near because I just felt so insignificant next to her, which I know is stupid.

After about three months she kissed him and I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I slapped him when he confessed and apologised and walked away again because I'm really not a confrontational person. He told me he was sorry and ignored his ex, and we got back together about a month later. But since then (about two months) things seem to have lapsed again. He no longer ignores her because he says it makes him feel like a bad person and she constantly flirts with him. Even my other friends notice it and yell at her.

My boyfriend knows how I hate her and says he's doing all he can to stop her, but it feels like not enough. School's over now so I'll probably never see her again but I'm starting to wonder if our relationship is worth it, even though we love each other?

If you're wondering if its worth it, do you love each other? Because you don't seem too sure in your post.
