There is a chance that he feels guilty about what he did and is trying to ignore the situation, so the problem goes away.

He must be feeling guilty or there must be something that is causing him to ignore you.. He could be in a different emotional plane right now.
He might have been looking to blow off some steam, he got that covered the first time you guys were together. Now he's probably feeling regret towards his girlfriend and he is therefore ignoring you. He's not worth spending your time on, if he could cheat on his current girlfriend he could easily cheat on you as well.
because may be he is guilty for that and realized that he did wrong doing what he did when he was have girl friend
He is cheating on you too my dear sorry to say that.... You should help yourself and leave him......
He probably feels guilty for what he has done. Cheating isn't a good thing, it really does hurt people in all kinds of people.
He may be feeling guilty for risking his relationship with his girlfriend. Although you may be important to him, he has made a commitment to this other girl. He obviously cared about her at some point. Even if he doesn't still have feelings for her, a relationship is like a promise. A promise that he broke. Give him some space, but let him know that you support him and are there for him.

He is most probably feeling guilt and confusion due to his doing. You should probably clarify your feelings with him and see the results of it. I don't know if his girlfriend knows that he cheated on her with you but I think she should understand it, cheating is never a sign of a healthy relationship.
He is probably ignoring you because he felt guilty and maybe he wanted to work things out with his girlfriend, but if he truly loves you then give him an ultimatum whether he stays with you or with his girlfriend
He isn't trustworthy so, he might be cheating on you with another girl. Sit down and have a serious conversation
He might have realized what he has done is not the smart and right choice. Probably doesn't want to hurt you or the other girl he cheated on and it's okay because you shouldn't be in that kind of stuff. There are more loyal people out there for you. Don't get hung up on people who will let you be the person they cheat on someone with.
Perhaps you were never his priority. People who cheat typically seek for temporary satisfaction and not a lifelong partnership with the one they are philandering with. There could be many reasons as to why he is ignoring you, may it be he's busy or he's trying to refrain from repeating the same mistake toward his girlfriend, or he simply doesn't want you anymore. But all of those are just assumptions. He can be the only one who can answer this question himself. Besides, you do not want to be the other woman. Be with a man who respects you enough to not have to choose between you or someone else.
Because maybe he feels very guilty and regrets that, or is super confused and doesn't know what to do.
Maybe he felt guilty for cheating, but know it is not your fault. There could also be something else going on at home or maybe he is going through a rough patch..hang in there.
Maybe he's angry at himself for not staying loyal. It has nothing to do with you. Maybe he just needs time to think.

Cheating on someone is not usually something more people are comfortable with. While in the heat of the moment it might seem to be the best idea, afterwards when there has been time reflection the people involved might not want to repeat the choice again. Removing all temptation from their life is typically the easiest for them.
Most men in relationships when they cheat they start to feel low self respect for allowing themselves to follow their needs which made them cheaters.. Feel the pressure of guilt instead of the joy and excitement of starting a new relationship. So they simply run, Run from the guilt he feels whenever he's with you or with his girlfriend whom he cheated on. Simply to get to the point of his psychological balance he enjoyed before this affair "even if he didn't knew that before falling into being a cheater" he needs to lose you and go back to become a boyfriend once again.
He may feel guilty and with this feeling comes many others. His way of dealing with it is avoidance, and because you were apart of the situation that caused this feeling within him, he will be avoiding you too.
he probably ignoring you because he worked things out with his girlfriend or it was just a one time thing

Firstly, Maybe he felt guilty after cheating for some reasons such as religious beliefs, personal morals or values, cultural norms and so on. Secondly, he might be that kind of person who like fancy girls if it is right to say or like to do sex not more than that. Thirdly, he might not have a value which is called loyalty in relationships so for him relationships are equal to friendships or doing sex is something not connected with relationships, so basically, he think of the logic that we can do sex with someone that we do not love. Fourthly, he maybe he cheated because he was curious about how it does feel to have another relationship or just sex with someone else, so he did it just to know better the value of his girlfriend. Lastly, there could be other reasons which might be not common.
He may just feel guilty for doing that, it is a horrible thing to cheat so maybe he wants to ignore his mistake. Don't put too much pressure on him, try to understand his point of view.

Perhaps because he feels great deal of guilt and shame or he may regret it altogether? perhaps he decided to give it a 2nd shot with his gf?
I'm sorry he isn't being more up front with you about what's going on. Unfortunately, he is the only one who really knows the answer to that. But if I were to guess, he probably has feelings for both his girlfriend AND you, which is pretty confusing. One of the feelings he might be experiencing is guilt about cheating.

Maybe, because he wants to make things right for her and him. Also, he is a jerk!

He might be ignoring you because his girlfriend found out and threatened to leave him if he didn't stop talking to you.
There are many possibilities. Could be guilt that he cheated. Could be that she found out and is now monitoring him more closely. If you really care for this person, the hardest thing to do is realize that he did something wrong by 1. Cheating 2. Ignoring his mistake by keeping you in the dark 3. Realizing you were part of a mistake. It's all hard to take in.
Perhaps he is regretting is choice and maybe is considering being faithful to his girlfriend. Maybe he didn't take you as seriously as you thought? It could be a number of things honestly.
