Just found out my girlfriend is cheating on me... I'm broken

[lostsoul6486]

I don't know what to do. The pain I feel right now is unbearable, but at the same time I feel a calmness. I guess it's because I subconsciously expected it before I physically saw it. My heart is beating 100 mph though. It's good to know that I'm not crazy for being suspicious for the past couple of weeks. She was so good at manipulating me and I let myself pull the wool over my eyes. I should have listened to my gut and left her earlier like some of you told me to in my first post. When I first caught her, I called her and let her explain it away and ended up letting her be mad at me. This time I just sent her a text because she doesn't deserve a call. I'm disgusted at myself for letting it get this far. I'm not crying or throwing things around, but I'm a wreck inside. She meant so much to me. She told me she loved me. I naively believed her when she said she wasn't cheating and she lied again and again. I'm completely and totally broken.

Sorry to hear that bro, it is not easy going through that. Just know that you are better of knowing sooner then later. At this point it might hurt but you are on the right path to dump her and you can focus on finding yourself a good girl. Hang in there!

Take a step back and a breath. Realize it was she who lost something good, not you. She lost a loyal and faithful guy who cared about her, a great guy. All you lost was a cheating manipulative woman. It hurts now, but soon you won't even see it as a loss... but instead the freedom to find someone who will give you as much as you are willing to give them.

Thanks for the responses. Sometimes all someone needs are a few words of encouragement. It's just really hard because all I want to feel is anger towards her, but what I feel the most is pain

I know it hurts terribly. Just know its not your fault, nor anything you did or lacked that made her do what she did. Screw her and don't let her sweet talk you into another chance. Odds are stacked against her and the fact that she will not change at least not anytime in the near future.
