Family help: I may come off as a whiny little girl, so I apologize. - Help.com

I may come off as a whiny little girl, so I apologize.

I was with a guy for 3 years, his name is Matt. We were recently engaged (My family has a a history of premature engagements, I suppose.) but, I discovered that he was cheating on me for those 3 years, and also proposed to the girl he was cheating with.
So we (obviously) broke up, and they’re setting a wedding date.
7-20-2012.

Is it wrong that I can’t get him off of my mind? I don’t mean to be an “obsessive ex-girlfriend/fiancĂ© or whatever”, but I guess that’s the way I might be coming off.

We ‘d been through everything together, and he’s the only guy to ever see me cry, the things we’ve been through brought us closer (or so I thought…) and I can’t believe he’d do this.

I’m about to do something clichĂ©;

What’s wrong with me? Why would he simply throw me over like that?
Will I ever be over him? And if I DO get over him, will I ever be the same?

nothing is wrong with you….it sounds like you dodged a bullet…i mean what if you were married with children and then found out he cheats.

will you ever be over him….yes, if you want to be.
will you ever be the same….i don’t know…but i hope you will be a little wiser.

I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it, I gave my all, and he let me drop.

But thank you (:

Maybe its just a compulsive thing with him. Doesn’t mean he didnt love you as best he could at the time.

that’s the trouble with relationships….one person can do a lot of giving and the other does all the taking….

i’m sorry he hurt you….i’m sorry he was untrustworthy and dishonorable

i know the feelings will not always be as intense as they are right now. Give yourself time. Plan to be good to yourself….eat great food, get some exercise, spend time with friends, do something fun that you had been putting off doing…maybe take a vacation….

You will get over him, it’ll just take time and you’ll have to work toward it. Concentrate on yourself, on making yourself happy :)

Does the other girl know he’d proposed to you?
