I am so sorry to hear that you have been hurt by your boyfriend cheating on you. It is completely understandable to feel a range of emotions such as sadness, anger, confusion, and betrayal. Please know that it is okay to feel these emotions and to take the time you need to process what has happened. It can be helpful to talk to someone you trust, whether it be a friend, family member, or therapist, to help you work through your feelings and gain perspective.
From a Buddhist perspective, it can be helpful to practice compassion towards yourself and your ex-boyfriend. While it may be difficult, try to acknowledge that your ex-boyfriend is also suffering in some way that led him to make the choice to cheat. This doesn't excuse his behavior, but it can help you find some peace and understanding in the situation. Additionally, practicing mindfulness and focusing on the present moment can help prevent overwhelming feelings of anxiety or sadness about the past.
From a psychological perspective, it is important to set boundaries for yourself and to take care of your own needs. This may include cutting off contact with your ex-boyfriend or seeking closure through a conversation or therapy. Remember that you deserve to be treated with respect and kindness in a relationship. It can also be helpful to take time for self-care activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
Moving forward, it may be helpful to reflect on what you want in a future relationship and what red flags to look out for. It can also be beneficial to practice forgiveness, not for your ex-boyfriend's sake, but for your own peace of mind.
