Tips to get over the worthless feeling after being cheated on

[Orange6904]

Has anyone got any advice or experience to share? I was cheated on for months when I was recovering from surgery and I just feel so low and horrible. I feel really low and worthless. What can I do to kick myself up the bum and stop this way of thinking?

Maybe think about successful and attractive women who've allegedly been cheated on, to make you realise that it can happen to anyone? Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Princess Margaret etc etc. Being treated like this is no reflection on your intellect, personality, looks, desirability.

That's a good idea super

I believe that cheating is all about the one who cheats. It comes from their head. You could be the most beautiful, most fit, interesting, smart or anything else and your partner can still cheat on you. God knows there are plenty of examples among the celebrities in spite of them having plenty of time and resources to enhance their looks or have time to spend with their partner in luxurious locations. It's not about looks or personality or money. It comes from the head of the one who cheats.
OP try to take care of yourself, eat as healthy as you can, do a bit of exercise if you can, look after yourself, do what makes you feel good.
These things are quite painful and unfair, but in time it gets easier. Just try hard to work on yourself in whichever way you can.

Er, what now? Leaving a marriage after infidelity is a personal choice, some women choose to stay. I personally think I couldn't but calling any woman gutless for not doing so is, well gutless.

Stop internalising his poor choices. The sad truth is that he prioritised his dick over his partner, nothing to do with you 'not being good enough', just an example of his questionable character.

Mourn the relationship and the person he pretended to be but his behaviour can only make you feel low if you give it that power.

He wasn't good enough.

Thanks for the advice, I think because he didn't talk at all and just upped and left after I found out, I keep overthinking it all.

Thanks for the replies.

He just wanted something else. Some people are like that (such as my ex). You will feel better in time, the world is your oyster

I've thought of another one today - I'm also trying to get over my ex.

When on the toilet I'm imagining his face on my poo. As it comes out. Kind of purging the selfish twunt from my insides/ soul.
As it were. It helped a bit anyway.
