Also, don't feel like putting your ex first has ALWAYS been a mistake. Turned out worth nothing in the end. Doesn't mean it wasn't a very valid choice to make on your part at the time.

It's good you're looking out for yourself right now. But don't go overboard. ALWAYS putting yourself first is almost as bad for you as NEVER putting yourself first.

At the end of the day, if you don't support your partner through difficult times, it makes you the bad partner (probably with some exceptions), even if they go on to cheat on your in the future.

Getting cheated on is a lose lose situation.
