We got together in school and have been together since. We rent a house together but recently I found out that she has been cheating. I tried to make it work but she doesn’t want to be with me and says I’m better off without her. My problem is I don’t have any experience outside of her. The idea of potentially dating someone else scares me.
I think I’m just looking for some advice on how to move on with what happened between me and her I think I’m going to have some serious trust issues and I guess I’m struggling with my own identity as I’ve been with her since we were teens.
Context: this has been going on a few weeks I confronted her when I saw messages on her phone with a guy and she swore it was nothing. This then lead to me finding out she was flirting with him and sending pictures. After another conversation she told me she was going on a girls night out in another city. I then found out she was actually meeting this guy. When she came back we had a conversation where she told me that I’m better off without her. She begged me to hate her for this and I just can’t. We haven’t said the words it’s over but I think we both know it is.
