Re: boyfriend cheated on me

 Hi Muttgirl, you've been on Curezone for many years now, goodness longer than me!  You've done so many good things for your body and mind that I have seen you post about over time.  I'm so sorry to hear that you are going through a difficult situation now.

 You ask; how should you handle this?  You don't handle it honey, you face it and let him go.  COMPLETELY!

Should you be friends?  You aren't friends now.  Good friends don't play games and say things like "you deserve better".  Of course you do, but he doesn't mean it, he's just trying to get off the hook easy and avoid the discomfort of you feeling angry, upset and cheated.  That's not a friend.  Sometimes after a breakup, some people do maintain a friendship, but that usually works out on its own eventually. You don't plan for it and you can't have a friendship where basic trust has been violated.

You believe he will realize his mistake?  Whether he actually ever does or not, you would be self sabotaging if you hang around waiting to  see how he's going to respond to his choice in the future.  Forget what the other woman is like, what she's doing and...forget what's good for her child.  That's her job, you are the baby that needs comfort and good examples right now and only YOU can give that to you!

Please, please sweetheart, honor and esteem yourself a little more and realize that anyone who goes off like this has never given you your proper  place in his life and never will. 

What do you do?  You face your situation, fill your life with good important things and move on!!!!!!

Hard?:  YES!     Impossible?: NO!     Absolutely necessary?:   YES!!!!!!
