We were walking home and he held my hand, i let him as i didn't think anything of it as we're friends, well when we got to his place he asked if i wanted to come in for a bit, i did. We were in the living room just talking, then after a while one thing led to another and we slept together. The thing is he has a girlfriend whom he has been with about 7 or 8 months. I know it was probably stupid to have go back to his but i didn't think anything would happen as he's with her and he said he'd never cheat on her. Now i feel sick about what happenend and i never thought i'd be one of those girls to sleep with somebody who has a girlfriend. I personally don't know her but the guilt and shame is eating me up. I had work the next day and he text me asking how my hangover was and was i seeing anybody, i said i was just dating. When i got home i went on facebook and he was online, he asked if i was still tired from last night, but never mentioned what happened. I asked him what he remembered from that night and he just said "not much", wether that's true or not i don't know, personally i think he remembers exactly what we did but i didn't push it any further. I hadn't spoeken to him in a few weeks as he was on holiday with his girlfriend, when he got back and we were online again, he asked how my dating was going,i told him i wasn't dating anybody right now, he said "but you're REALLY hot, you must have guys chasing you all the time" as a joke i just said "yeah, but i just tell the to p*** off" so he replied "hope you're not going to tell me to piss off" i said no and he said "now i'm smiling". Looking at his facebook profile you'd never guess he cheated on her, there's a photo of them together and he's acting like he's a decent guy, i'm not sure if this is for show or what. So, anyway, what do you think he's up to? After it happened he said the next time we meet up we should go out as friends so we can talk as friends, he obviously remembers what he did but hasn't said so. I'm just angry that he's putting on this decent guy act with his girlfried, annoucing how great she is on fb when all the time he's acting like this to me, i'm just very angry not just with him but myself as well. This is eating me up and he's acting like he's such a great guy to everyone else. I mean, is his gf that stupid?

Please don't worry about the girlfriend, a mistake happened, your correcting it.. if he wants to tell, then it's his responsibility, she's not your problem, you made no promises to her... as you say, take yourself away from this mess and chalk it down to experience.
All the best kid.. you'll know better next time.

Proud of you for making the decision to back down, yeah what you did can be perceived as morally wrong but everything you've done since has been nothing but morally right so I'd say you're cool:) Don't think it's your responsibility to tell his gf about it either, not that I don't think you should.

Because he won't acknowledge your sex activity. Because he wants to forget that it happened? I think he isregreting it therefore he is avoiding you. He took his gf on holiday to reaffirm their relationship and also to ease his guilt. The happy snaps on fb is also for You to see that he is happy with his gf. He does not have the guts to tell you he is ashamed of what you both did. You both messed up n it is his poor gf who will be hurt if she ever finds out. He I'd definitely not going to tell her her cheated, you will not as well. So for you both your secret is safe. Next time be selective with who you have sex with.this makes all the difference.

Shre deserves to be told and since he won't, you should. If you really felt remorse you'd tell her the truth and save her from his lies.

Chalk this up to a learning experience. Yes, what you did was morally wrong, but HE is the one who cheated on his GF. If he hadn't done it with you, he would have with some other chick, at some point. I know that doesn't make you feel any better, but that is the truth.
Take some time to examine your own actions. Your morals, values and general ethics. And also, honey, being drunk is no excuse to sleep with someone who you know is "off limits" and you know it. So, with that said, if you think alcohol is a factor you can not control, try and slow down with the drinking.
And I agree with everyone else. Delete him off Facebook and stop talking to him. Seems to me that he has no problem lying to his GF... which means.. he has no problem lying to you either. It doesn't make his GF stupid... After all YOU thought he was a good guy. Good enough to sleep with.

His girlfriend isn't stupid. She's unlucky. She trusts him, and he's clever enough not to get caught. So she's not stupid.
I won't say you're stupid yet, but if you continue with this guy, the you will be.
Use your brain. This guy cheated on his girl. He's untrustworthy. And he thinks you're stupid enough to believe all those words he's been saying. So tell him to clear off and keep some self respect. After all, if this does come out, he'll look bad, but everyone will think you're worse and no one will want you except all the married men looking for a quick one.
Don#t let your reputation and life be ruined by a dog.

You helped him cheat on his girlfriend. He may be a terrible person but you are of questionable character too if you're remaining friends with him and enabling his behavior. . . Your redemption is that you have the choice in who your friends are. Stop talking to this guy and find a relationship with a man who respects and values you.

So, anyway, what do you think he's up to?
Answer to your question: He wants to have sex with you again, then he will go back to his girlfriend and pretend nothing happened. He can have sex with you, he can have sex with her. You know the score, and if your willing to sleep with him he probably thinks why not. After all he doesn't think he'll get caught, and he'll get two girls to have sex with him.
I don't think he meant to cheat, but now he has, he's thinking he's already done it, so he's got nothing to loose by sleeping with you again.

''yeah, but i just tell the to p*** off"
so he replied "hope you're not going to tell me to piss off"
Thats him suggesting that he is one of his dates and that he hopes that you are not going to tell him to get lost as he would very much like to do what you guys did that night. He is blatantly looking for a FWB situation.
Look, drop this guy, stop calling his gf stupid as he is taking her and YOU for mugs.
