Thank you for sharing your situation. It’s important to understand that love isn’t being with someone who hurts you repeatedly. It’s important in any relationship to let the other person know how you want to be treated. People treat you the way you let them treat you. You might consider what his behavior is telling you, think in terms of what it means when a person cheats repeatedly.

It’s important to listen to your inner voice. It’s the one telling you how to take care of yourself and what you need to look out for. You’re an important and valuable person and you deserve to be in a relationship with someone who wants to be with you exclusively and treats you wonderfully.

You get to decide what kind of relationship you want and what kind of person you want to be with. Take some time to think about what you need so that you can treat yourself well and move your life in a positive direction. You might even consider staying out of a romantic relationship so you can spend some time discovering how wonderful you are and enjoying your own company.

Remember that you deserve to be with someone who treats you with respect and is committed to you. You’re worth it. Take care.



How You’re Treated in a Relationship

People treat you the way you let them treat you in the relationship.  Once you allow someone to treat you badly you’ve sent a clear message that you’re willing to put up with that behavior.  It’s up to you to love yourself and stand up for yourself.  You deserve to be treated wonderfully in any relationship you have.
