All that sort of fake stuff melts away eventually, and you're left with a partner who is upset that you have 'changed.'
You want someone to like you for you.
This is not that guy. He not only doesn't like you enough to be exclusive with you, but he has a total lack of respect for you. While this is his problem, you have made it yours. Taking someone back after they've cheated on you is like giving them permission to cheat in the future - after all, they know you'll forgive and forget. You can't win.
It's not all bad news, though. You've found out this guy is insensitive, doesn't care about you, and is a cheater. Lucky escape for you!
It'll take time for your feelings to subside, but in the meantime ask yourself if they are really feelings for HIM, or feelings about being in a relationship. If you treat yourself with respect and liking, sooner or later a fabulous guy will come along....and you won't have to try to impress him or win him over. He'll be amazed by wonderful you, and that's that.

If he likes this chick and he wants to be with her then he's going to be with her. But, if he's going to be an ass and go and cheat on you like that, then he's an ass HOLE. 80% of guys that say "Baby I'll change," or anything along those lines after he's cheated on you, odds are he's going to do it again. You don't deserve to be hurt like that. If you were to be going out with him and he never cheated on you but you decided to cheat on him, how do you think he'd feel. Exactly the way that you felt. It's a shitty feeling I must admit. It's happened ot me a total of 6 times with 6 guys, yeah ALL of my ex's cheated on me. Not fun. If you want to avoid from you getting hurt again I suggest that you don't go back out with this guy or try to get back with him. Go out there, flirt with guys! You'll get over him. I promise. Hope this helped. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
