Chances are, he was using the time he spent with you as an outlet for stress. His ignoring of you you would show that he is dealing with his problems by himself. If you didn't know about the cheating, then he most likely expects that you know about it now, and doesn't want to deal with another girl questioning him about it. If you did know about the cheating, he is most likely blaming you for his girlfriend finding out.

Because he may feel disgusted of what he has done, it is a normal reaction, he may ask to leave you to get her back or just forget about her and be with time, be patient, you will figure out after a while.

His girlfriend may have gotten angry and asked for him to not associate with you again. It may not be that he doesn't like you as a person, but that he owes it to his girlfriend to stay loyal again.

Only he can answer this question for sure. However, commonly, this is because some part of him must reflect on the events that occurred and feel remorse for one reason or another. The best you can do for yourself is to try not to let it take a toll on your self esteem, and to try to move on from it. People make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes hurt others. The best we can do when we're caught in the middle is to walk away and pull away insight and optimism from our experiences.

He could be trying to save his relationship. Unfortunately, cheating with somebody doesn't necessarily mean its because of love or other feelings, it could just be a physical desire or an angry reaction.

mmm lets start off with this is a tough situation to be in. He might be feeling guilty, remorseful or he might not know what he wants or how to really approach the situation with you anymore. I would say give it space and time. Maybe take the space as a chance to work out what you really want from that situation? ask yourself if you really want to be with someone that has cheated on his girlfriend with you? and see how you feel about the situation.maybe speak with a trusted friend or a therapist too they might give you an objective view. and at least you know they will have your best interests at heart. Then if he does reach out to you talk about what you feel and think and also it is ok to ask him why he was ignoring you. and Also to let him know what your expectations are and what you want or don't want.

He feels really guilty right now. He likely wishes he had stayed loyal and has to live with that now.

He doesn't love her, if he did he would respect her. May be he's just confused between you two , let him be clear and make his decision . Ask him whether he is guilty about what he did . Too bad you fell for it, because years from now you'll realize that you have wasted your life being somebody's hetaera. Not only that, but being in this situation will prevent you from meeting somebody who's meant to be in your life 100% . he divided his attention to both of you hope you can start valuing yourself as a person, and as a woman . Don't you think?

He probably feels guilty and ashamed about what he did and wants to fix it in the way he thinks he can. I don't know what would lead him to assume that ignoring you is the best solution, and I'm sorry he's doing that! I think that he needs to figure out why he cheated on his girlfriend and to sort out all of his confusion, and after that, I think he might talk to you again! The best thing you can do is to try and stay positive. We at 7 Cups are always here to help support you!

Just think about it for a second. He is risking his relationship in order to talk to you, a person outside the relationship. Maybe he regrets cheating and he decided to move on from your relationship so he can be with his actual girlfriend or he is taking a break from interacting with you so his girlfriend does not suspect anything. No offense but I hope he moved on from this interaction because that is a really unhealthy relationship and the girlfriend doesn't deserve to be a part of this. This can ruin lives and I do not think you should demand his attention.
