So either she is a liar or doesn't care for me like she says she did. How can I respect this especially when she cheated? I told myself over and over that I could accept this if she left him for me, but she didn't.
4) With this lack of respect comes the lack of intense pain. Even though I am still hurting, I realize that I can get through this pretty fast now.
5) I am ready to go out and meet people. I will not of course jump into a realtionship but making new friends now will help set the stage for a relationship when I am ready.
Thanks again. My heart is with you all.
Good. You are starting to see what actually is. 'Once a cheater, always a cheater', is a truism for a reason.
You are right. She could have left him if she wanted to be with you. Everyone makes choices, including you. Don't choose to be a Boy Toy.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
