I really like a guy who has recently broken up wiv his g.friend of 8yrs. She cheated. They have a son. He needs space and time I know that. But do I move on or could we be together?

It depends if he's ready.
Don't push him, just be there for him and let him know what's on offer.
Be careful of the rebound theory.

Girl, you need to be veeerrreee patient as he needs some alone time. Please don't increase his pain by dwelling on his gf's action as it will put you on the losing side. Be supportive without overly smothering him. When he's passed the rebound stage then tell him but don't expect that he'll up and say yes. Good luck.
Oops! I almost forgot to put this down, when the time comes for you to tell him, how sure are you that he will accept cuz after all these years he might take you as a sister/friend, nothing more. As i said, don't expect him to up and say yes to you. Good luck.

Of course it can work, but if he has been in a relationship that long then he is going to need some space to get things sorted in his mind. I think it can happen but it might take a little while and some understanding and support

Id leave it a while.... There's nothhing worse than going out with someone on the rebound....He is probably still raw after his long term relationship. Plus you will need to give him time with his son....He is the most important person in his life at the moment.

Give him time hun - be a supportive friend and help him through this time - he's gona be a bit upset and emotional wreck after 8 years - that way you'llknow when hes ready to start dating again - and hopefully he'll realise how great you are for standing by him and its you he'll end up taking out!!! Dont push him right now though! xx

sounds like a bit of a receipe for diastor!!!! Would you really want to get into such a diificult situation.. and ex that he will have to always see because of the child.
Just remember she cheated on him.. which probally means he could still have feelings for her and they only broke up because of her cheating not because he didnt feel for her anymore!
I'd move on.. its easy to say but who nkows how long it will take your guy to get over her! If ever!!!
Is it really worth it??

It is probably too soon for him to be thinking about a relationship. Why not be there for him for the moment and see how things develop when he is ready.
