long story short, my boyfriend sorta cheated on me, after he basically worshipped me and said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and he's never loved anyone like me. he didnt actually CHEAT, but he definitely betrayed me, and im not sure i believe that he wouldnt have cheated on me had he been given the chance. the point is, i feel like shit. after listening to him carry on about how much he loved me, i found this out, and listened to him deny it [yes i know for a FACT it was true. trust me.] its some girl he had a crush on like 4 years ago, she had a crush on him too, they never knew, then she moved, so they never had their chance, now theyre back in touch so now they know. that makes me feel sooo second choice. me and him arent together and basically not speaking. but i cant help feeling soo torn up. i know to go out with friends and have fun to get my mind off of it and all that stuff. but still, its not the fact that it happened. that hurts too, but its the fact that it seems like he'd take her over me, as much as he said he wouldnt, obviously i now know not to believe anything he says. i feel like im not good enough, like he'd rather have her any day, and like im second choice. if you've been in this situation, you know. i know that he's in the wrong here, not me, but it still hurts and the whole situation is making me feel like that. i just need some help =[
Additional info, added Sunday July 20 2008, 6:20 pm: this was monday, and i still feel so hurt, like it just happened. even if i see a girl that looks remotely close to this other girl, it feels like i've taken a hard punch to the stomach all over again. i dont know what to do. also, it wasn't the first time i had called him out on unwanted behaviour with this girl. the girl messaged me, and she reassured me nothing is going on. she is like 7 months pregnant and with the guy. i honestly believe nothing happened, but i also honestly believe that he wanted it to. on top of all this, he says he doesnt understand WHY im upet and says that im being childish and stupid and ridiculous and making a big deal out of nothing. once again, i know to do things to get my mind off of it, but at the end of the night, im still left feeling not as important to him as i thought i was, and like he'd rather have her than me.
words of encouragement !?

It seems like most men are insensitive to see how it hurts us or even to look at it in our point of view. Sometimes going out with friends keeps you mind off things but sometimes it makes you think about it even more. When a guy truly loves he gives his heart and soul, not matter who comes in the picture. It seems like he is the complete opposite of what you truly deserve. The only advice a person can really give in your situation is to go on a search to finding yourself. Find your strengths and your weaknesses,using them to your advantage. Once you completely find yourself, you will realize that he was not the man for you and you deserve much better. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]
