Not Your Fault

After being cheated on, it’s easy to list your faults. You wonder if he did it because you aren’t pretty enough, or because you're not capable of fulfilling his needs. However, his unfaithfulness has more to do with himself than you. No-one deserves to get cheated on. If he was unhappy with your relationship, he should’ve ended it.

2

All Men Differ

When you’re ready to get back into the dating game, you can’t obsess over your ex. Don’t blame future boyfriends for your past boyfriend’s mistakes. New relationships are blank slates. If your new man is trustworthy, he deserves to be treated as such. Not every man is willing to break your heart. Some of them will treat you in the way you deserve to be treated.

3

Don’t Need Him

You’re a strong, capable woman. You don’t need any man to survive, especially not one who will hurt you so badly. Try not to be upset about losing a boyfriend. Be happy that you’re single, and that you’re free to live life in whatever way you please. No matter how much pain you’re in, remember that you don’t need anyone who doesn’t need you.

4

His Loss

You lost a cheater, but he lost an incredible girl. Even though he felt the need to see other women, you remained faithful to him. Anyone would be lucky to have a girl like you. You have to be confident with yourself, and know that you’re a prize. Your man doesn’t know what he’s missing.

5

Blame Him, Not Her

Okay, you can blame them both. But some women fall into the habit of only blaming the girl for stealing her man. Chances are she wasn’t aware that he was in a relationship. Even if she knew, she didn’t force him to have sex with her. Your man made a decision to sleep with her. He wasn’t doing something against his will, he was doing something that he wanted to do.

You Learned the Truth

At least you know your man’s true personality. You’re no longer under the false impression that he’s perfect. You see his faults, which will make it a bit easier to get over him. It’s not a bad thing that you found out about his unfaithfulness. Be thankful that you’re not ignorant to his behavior, because you’d still be with him.

People Make Mistakes

You don’t want to remain in a relationship with a cheater, but you can forgive him. There is no excuse for his behavior, but if he’s genuinely sorry, you can . Forgiveness will not only raise his spirits, but it will make you happier as well. Once you forgive, you can start moving on. You can’t dwell on the guy who broke your heart. You have to find someone else who wouldn’t dare to hurt you.

Many people have suffered through similar situations. Has a man ever cheated on you? Have you recovered from the experience?

I just got cheated on. I've been with my bf for 5 years and he slept with another girl I just found out. I dnt know what to do he wants to work it out he says his truly sorry. I want to work it out too I just dnt know how to deal with the pain this whole thing cause me I think about it constantly. Any suggestions ?

@sugarplum 11 i feel ya! Keep it up!♡

and I still find it hard to get over him after how much I invested emotionally towards him. he treated me like crap the first time and then cheated on me the second... wow. and I felt hopeless when I saw the girl because she was so much prettier than me. but I'm getting over it. and me and her teamed up and busted him out on it. felt good. now towards getting over him. almost 2 months since it's happened and I still cry about it :/

Knowing that someone else is going through the same things; it's quite comforting. Thanks for posting this!

Great article - thank you - every point is so true.

I found out recently that my (now) ex boyfriend was in a relationship with his ex the whole time we were together. We live in the same apartment complex and she is in high school. I have a feeling once we come back from Christmas break and I see him he's going to try and crawl right back to me. The thing is I don't know if I'm strong enough to let him go.

@sarah @kandice, i am going through the same thing right now. My first real relationship that lasted 3 years turns out he was cheating with his ex this whole time

I was cheated on a week after he proposed to me. It's like who the hell does that? lol But hey, he.missed out on a good women. I'd move mountains to make someome happy. But I'm ready for this new chapter in my life and I'm ready to wash my hands of him and the pain! :)

Blaming him and not her is the best advice! It's really hard not to be bitter and trust again!
