I know it's heartbreaking, have you reached out to a friend or family member sometimes opening up to someone close is the best way to let every feeling out

don't ever think you are a bother to anyone. You are loved by those close to you and I am sure they would be great comfort during this.

When I got cheated on by my ex, I took time to build my self confidence up, build my happiness up, I wrote a letter telling him how it hurt and every feeling and then I ripped it up and threw it away it felt good getting my feelings out. it might help you to.
assistant
Self-disclosure

letting them go is the major one you don't ever want to be with someone who cheats on you if they do it once and you forgive them they 9 times out of 10 will do it again
assistant

exactly and once they break your trust it can't ever be fully repaired again you will always have that doubt in your mind about them
