Hey Relationship Rules, I wanted to share my story of being cheated on by my boyfriend who I’d been dating for the past 2 years. I thought we were in love and were very happy together. He moved in with me. Recently, a few days ago, I found out he got another girl pregnant. It was so sudden and I was in shock. I couldn’t believe it but he admitted and apologized to me. As I was grappling with the betrayal, I heard about a personal trainer discovers wife cheating scandal that made me reflect on trust in relationships. It seemed like everywhere I turned, stories of infidelity were surfacing, leaving me to question the integrity of those around me. I realized that many people face similar heartache and that I’m not alone in this painful experience.
I broke up with him and kicked him out of the house. I was hurt and in a lot of pain but now I feel better. I feel like I can’t trust anyone anymore, my dreams have been shattered. How do I bring myself out of this painful situation?

Dear Anonymous, we are deeply sorry for what you’ve just experienced. Once we’re in love and give our trust to someone – it takes away a piece of our existence when we go through such a painful event. You did the right thing by cutting ties with him. Give yourself and your heart time to heal. Don’t lose hope in love, someone who actually deserves you will be in your life – just give yourself time to heal and move on from this. Lots of love from the whole Relationship Rules team!

My ex boyfriend and I had been together for almost 3 years. We had been in love with one another for almost 5 years. His mom passed away in January and my mom passed away in May. A month ago he, out of the blue, comes at me with “I’ve been thinking and praying about this a lot and I’ve decided that I need to walk away from this relationship right now to work on myself. I stillove you and I’ll always love you. I never in a million years thought this would ever happen to us.” I don’t know “what happened” because it didn’t happen to me… My best friend passed away last September so I feel like I’ve lost the most important people in my life.
