Three days ago, my boyfriend (22M) told me (25M) we needed to talk. Two days ago, we went for a walk in the park, and he told me that we should break up. I asked him if he was sure, because I really love him and I didn’t want to lose him like that. He confessed that we needed to break up because he cheated on me at the beginning of this month. I asked him everything about it even what the guy looked like He went to a club with friends, had some drinks, and started talking to some random tourist from Spain. He told me that he wasn’t thinking about what he was doing, they went back to the guy’s Airbnb, and he gave him a BJ. We were together for 3 years. I had a lot of trust in him, and it was totally out of the blue. My legs went numb. We talked for a moment sitting on a log in the park. I told him that I was ready to forgive him because I didn’t want to lose what we had, go home, pretend that he never existed, delete his photos, photos of his pets, and never text him again. I never expected him to do this to me. It’s so unbelievable. The fact that he kept it a secret, looked me in the eyes the whole time, and texted me every night before sleep that he loved me makes me feel physically and psychologically ill. To make things worse, we had sex after he cheated. Because he wasn’t sure if he used a condom with that stranger, he went to get tested for STDs. He is supposed to get his results on September 28th and let me know Yesterday, I had to take care of some formalities at my university related to my master’s degree, and I cried the whole way there and back. My stomach hurts so bad, I have absolutely no appetite, and I can’t even force myself to drink water. I’m just shaking and feeling like pure shit. I tried some over-the-counter herbal calming remedies, but they aren’t helping at all, which is why I decided to book an online doctor’s appointment today. Guys, how do you deal with a broken heart like this? How do you survive the physical pain, the shock, and the betrayal? Any advice is appreciated, because I feel like I’m losing my mind. submitted by /u/Affectionate_Act615
