He could be playing a game, like the whole "playing hard to get" thing. If not, he may be dealing with his guilt by avoiding you. He feels bad that he slept with his best friend's girlfriend so he wants to make amends by telling himself it isn't going to happen anymore.

Thanks again. You've been super-helpful.

One last question, assuming he feels the latter (really guilty) should I try to contact him? I really want to talk it out, but something is making me hesitate to do so. Like, feeling he might not be receptive to the idea.

I don't see anything wrong with contacting him as long as you haven't already tried to do so. I don't think letting it sit is going to change the situation much, although I think it would be easier to do so if you weren't still with his friend.

If you do contact him and he isn't responsive, it's probably time to move on. Life is too short to play games or chase something that's not there.

Thanks again And thank you for not being judgmental.

I feel that if I don't get things talked out between us (whatever the solution is), I might just explode. Any reasons why I've been suddenly frozen out?

As far as my bf is concerned, I'm almost out the door in that relationship and I've told him so.
He realized he made a mistake. Or he planned this all along and he accomplished what he set out to do and has no need for you anymore.

[no confusion - that was easy...]

OP,

Life is too short. If you like someone, go for it. I do NOT agree with you cheating on your boyfriend BUT if your current boyfriend is not cutting it for you, then he is not.

The problem here is the boyfriends best friend. You do realize the best friend has to make a choice between being with you or keeping his boy.

Either way, this situation is going to suck and I wish you the best.

I have a really strong feeling that is exactly what happened. And maybe her boyfriend already knows.

You mean a place to feel good about being a sl*t while retaining anonymity?

I feel sorry for this boyfriend, his boy was only his boy for one reason (no loyalty there). imo its always going to be bro's before ho's. These guys will never be friends again. This is a good learning experience and cautionary tale for inexperienced men.

you would have been better off breaking your current relationship off first. To be honest I don't think a relationship between you and him is going to happen. A guy will always contact a girl that hes interested in (in a relationship, not just sex). If he is interested, then he's holding back due to his guilt. That means even if he gets together with u, the guilt will get to him. I don't see it working out. Sorry.
