How to Get Over a Cheating Boyfriend

It’s hard enough getting over a breakup. But when you’re getting over a guy who cheated, it’s even tougher. Discovering that your boyfriend has cheated on you can be one of the worst emotional pains imaginable. Use this guide to help move on with your life.

Arrange to meet with him face to face. Text messaging, email, or over the phone breakups never are clear. Be absolutely sure he is cheating on you. Tell him what you feel. Talk it out, no matter how long it takes. There is no other way you can develop a sense of closure.

Look in the mirror.Tell yourself you are beautiful and smart, and that the cheater does not deserve you. They aren’t worthy of your time, energy, or thoughts. They cheated because they weren’t secure enough in themselves.

Go out with your friends. Do something for the first time. Distract yourself from the pain. It will hurt for a while, but it does not need to consume you.

Indulge yourself. Treat yourself to a spa or getaway, or pamper yourself at home. Eat some of your favorite chocolate. Get a manicure. Whatever makes you feel better.

Promise yourself you’ll learn from your mistakes. Look back on any warning signs or red flags that you ignored that would show he was cheating. Vow to not be fooled again and to look more carefully for a guy who cares enough to be faithful.

Don’t get jaded. Just because one boyfriend cheated on you doesn’t mean they all will.
