my boyfriend 2 years ago we had been dating for about a year when my boyfriend cheated on me with one of my really good friends and broke up with me to date them then in class called me a pig and said I have to be living in a dumpster then called me fat and never apologized but asked to apologize for what I did to him am I in the wrong?

... Read moreExperiencing betrayal by a partner, especially when combined with emotional abuse, can deeply affect your self-esteem and mental health. When I went through a similar situation, where my partner not only cheated but also verbally abused me, I found it was important to recognize that their behavior reflected their own issues and not my worth. It's natural to question yourself after insults and insults like being called derogatory names or unfairly blamed. What helped me most was seeking support from friends who genuinely cared, and focusing on rebuilding my confidence through positive affirmations and self-care routines. It's critical to understand that no one deserves to be treated with disrespect or cruelty, regardless of what might have happened in the relationship. Apologies should be sincere and come with accountability, but in cases where the abuser refuses to acknowledge their actions, the best step is to prioritize your healing. Therapy or counseling can provide a safe space to explore your feelings and develop coping strategies. Remember, moving on from such painful experiences is a journey, and everyone's timeline is different. It's okay to take time to grieve and process what happened. Journaling your thoughts or joining support groups can also be helpful to feel less alone. Ultimately, your feelings are valid, and deciding whether you are 'wrong' in these situations isn't about blame but about understanding and reclaiming your self-respect and peace of mind.
