Maybe I can help, alot like your boyfriend now I had a previous long-term relationship before I met my wife. It lasted 9 months and we both thought we were going to get engaged and eventually married someday. But due to circumstances with our careers, colleges being far away, and things just not being the same anymore we no longer were in love. It wasn't a situation where she was no longer "the one" but she never was "the one" and neither of us realized it.
I always entered relationships when I was single with clean slates, because feelings and baggage from previous relationships only drag down and doom new ones. Just because he feels "the same" about you as he did about his ex-gf doesnt mean it really is the same. Circumstances, the people involved, timing, experience are ALL different. The way things ended in that relationship really have little to do with what you two have right now.
My advice would be to worry less, and spend that time enjoying your relationship more. No relationship will ever be perfect, but if love is there it is all worth it.
