Search Results: taking relationship slow

So still crazy for this loner and want people's views/experience if giving space works and if reconnecting is worth it?

Fell for a loner.. together for 2 months. He freaked out and we're giving each other space.. Will ask him to meet in a week.
(FYI: He's kind, attentive and isn't used to anyone caring about him. Never had a serious relationship and isn't close to any human being in his life)

Opinions please? x

I cheated on him with his best friend. Actually, it was an affair drawn out over a month's time with 3 encounters. I wasn't in love with his friend — it was more of an escape from the downward spiral my life was taking. I said that we should take it slow, but the pain he had caused me was forever ingrained in my brain. The affair started Valentine's Day when I went out to a bar with his friend and a couple of their friends. His friend started feeding me shots, followed me to the bathroom, and kissed me. This was someone who was best friends with my boyfriend, who I had confided in, who I had told my fears about the relationship to. We slept together a total of three times after that). I knew it was wrong, but that hour or two I spent with him made me forget about my problems. And as soon as I got in my car, the guilt and shame washed over me. I saw my boyfriend during this time period, but I refused to do anything sexual with him, saying I still needed time. The last time I saw his friend was on my boyfriend's birthday. I had brought my boyfriend out for a nice dinner, hung out with him, then went "home" when really I went to a party at his friend's house, where the rest of his friends were. I was talking to the friend in the kitchen when he went in for a drunken kiss. How do I rix this relationship?
