I was dating someone... for almost a year. I thought he was an avoidant... the last time I saw him, we were kissing at his doorstep. The same day he was telling how happy he is to talk with me and hangout with me. <br><br>After that day... he ghosted me. Exactly 1month after that... Facebook posted: he is with another guy, "in a relationship". <br>I felt a level of betrayal i never experienced before. I was balancing between wrath and sadness.

They chose to cross that line regardless of the circumstances. That is the BIGGEST pill to swallow ... and you will HAVE to chew on that for quite a while.

My ex left me for someone with my money after 16 yrs with one person only I feel ok I know some generally care more about material than people and that's ok I'm kinda of glad because why would I want something less than what honors my values. I love grounding

If you can still love a partner who has cheated on you, more power to you. If you decide to move on, then move on. I have "moved on" several times. Being single with good friends, a solid career and stability is better than a second rate relationship with a cheating schmuck.

I'm more vigilant because of traumatic experience with a narcissist, so I don't let my guard down now. I now look for red flags, constantly.

Thank you for this. I am currently going through this.my now ex boyfriend was cheating on me and everyone around him knew. I just realized I was also gaslighted when I eventually found out. I still feel like I am the one who did someone thing even though he is the one who cheated.it feels like I'm the one left with guilt. I hate this feeling. But thank you for this video cos I have friends so I needed advice like this. I guess I was also an easy target...

I’ve always attracted the Red Flags, and ignore it. Not anymore! You truly have to know your self worth! That way, you don’t look past those red flags!

My boyfriend and I have known each other for one year and then he can cheat on me I really don't understand what I did wrong, because of me. His ex friend showed me that he was in that dating app jackd, Tell him about it he's saying it's old and I overreact things or something in my head, I don't want to lose him it's really hard to lose a person like Love feels like. I always feel like the bad guy here. When I front him about it he acts like nothing never happened. I really wish someone who is gay like me can help like What did I do wrong am I boring him and my not doing a better job I really don't understand. I know that man can't cry but I've been trying a lot. Like this wants me to be straight
