Advice Request

This person is really hurt and sad after their partner cheated on them.

Hi, Darling!

Starting off, look after yourself. You are amazing and you are your own person. You need to focus on not hurting yourself anymore. No boy or girl is worth that much to make you hurt yourself. You deserve to live and to be happy.

When someone cheats on another, that's an instant hazard. And the fact that he knew about your family's history with cheating makes it even more wrong. Maybe you could look at it as him possibly trying to find himself and his sexuality. But, for your sake and for your happiness, in my opinion, it would be best to break it off, or to at least take a break from him. You need to take care of yourself and not harm anymore. You are strong and incredible, with as much as you've been through. Please let us know how things go.

With all due luck and love,
