Being fooled for being bad, it’s as simple as that – but the feelings that come with it are rarely simple. You feel betrayed, angry, embarrassed, and completely heartbroken. It can make you question everything about yourself, your relationships, and your life. But we’re here to tell you that everything will be fine – not immediately, but certainly soon. If you find yourself in this situation, our helpful tips will help you cope.

Remember: you are not to blame

No matter what happens, it’s never your fault that someone cheated on you. People do hurtful things to other people for a lot of reasons – and your partner can explain – but those reasons have nothing to do with you. It can be really hard to remember this, but it’s incredibly important. So we’ll say it again: you’re not to blame.

Accept that things will go bad for a while

You’ve had a trifle – it takes time to heal. Breathe in and accept that things are going to get worse for a while. This does not mean that you have to like it or that you agree with it. It just means you won’t waste time fighting something you can’t change. Instead, focus on healing your heart.

Put yourself first

The most important person in this situation is you, so take care of yourself. Eat your favorite foods, watch your favorite movies, or participate in your favorite activities. Try to keep yourself from getting more injured than you are right now. Your heart may be a little bruised and it doesn’t need to face any worse treatment.

Try to stay calm

You may lose your temper a bit and start sending out angry messages, but take a second to calm down before you do anything. Definitely don’t get yourself into trouble with anyone or leave dramatic public displays of outrage like the movies; Instead, blow off steam at the gym, go for a jog, or dance to a good song.

Don’t make decisions when you’re scared

There’s no such thing as being with or leaving the person who cheated on you – you have to do what feels right to your heart. But don’t let fear make the decision for you. You shouldn’t stay with someone for fear of being single or leaving someone you love out of fear they’ll hurt you again. Take as much time as you need to make the choice that’s right for you.

Don’t fight alone

You need your best friends around you when you’re dealing with cheating. Focus on your supporters who will listen to the full story and support you in whatever you decide to do next.

Pause on social media

You’ll probably want to put your FBI skills to the challenge of finding information about your opponent through social media. But, don’t do that. Not only that, give social media a little break. You don’t have to prove that you are still living #bestlife and all that FOMO is not what you need right now.

Ask for expert help if you need it

Professional psychologists recommend talking to your doctor as an important part of going through a period of cheating. Whether you do it with your partner or alone, getting an expert opinion from someone outside the situation can be a game changer for healing.

Don’t jump to conclusions

Maybe you’ve seen a text message on your partner’s phone or heard from a friend that they’re preparing something at the club. If you’re looking at their information indirectly, that may not be the whole truth – no matter how much you trust the source. Small talk has never made any situation better. If you are worried about something, ask your partner directly before you draw any conclusions. Having all the right information will help you to best handle the situation.
