How far would this have gone if it had not come to a head in this manner? What if this other guy would have shown up on your door-step when he knew you were alone? This is dangerous behavior to your own safety.
If you don't figure out why you did something you were uncomfortable and didn't want to do to begin with, it'll happen again. There's a much bigger problem than losing your boyfriend's trust.

I’ve always been too nice to say no to people…so in the beginning, before he ever brought up the whole sex thing, I didn’t want to hurt his feelings by just ignoring him…and I did tell him to stop, he just wouldn’t..I don’t know what I was thinking…actually, I could honestly say I wasn’t thinking.

Find out what exactly your bf has in mind as far as how you can earn his trust back. Don't do anything that will degrade you-he'll just push you around if you do-but I see no harm in giving trying to re-unite, if he really feels the way he says he does. Ask him to question whether he'd be more likely to trust something you've said or his supposed friend said-who is he closer to?

Well, it’s not HIS friend..it’s an old ex-boyfriends. He already told me how to win his trust back, and I’m doing it (hopefully right). He means everything to me, and I really hate myself for messing up. I know nothing ever happened or was going to, but he doesn’t. So I can understand why he is upset and has lost trust.

I don't know if trust can be fixed. Sometimes it can and other times it cannot. Give it a shot by talking to him and get a feeling on how things are going.
Good luck.

Well, he has the password to mytmobile.com so he can look at my call logs and my text message logs. Things are going better but we still have a way to go…
