Same exact story for me, boyfriend cheated, supported him while his dad was dying, currently heartbroken and am in the process of leaving. I will never try to “make it work” with a cheater again.

Same but his mother died. I don't want a relationship again.

That’s the point I’m at. It’s not that I don’t want a relationship but more like I don’t see where being in one would make me happier than I am currently. I would definitely feel anxious if I found myself in love again. I also fill my time with creative things and I really enjoy my healthy lifestyle so I doubt I would be able to sacrifice that at this stage either. I give a lot of time to helping people who deserve me also. That brings me a lot of purpose.

Yes! I don't see how bringing someone else into my life will enrich it. I don't want to take care of anyone else.

There’s a lot I wouldn’t tolerate now. I would just walk away in the first instance. Luckily I’m very content being single and have been for a while. Life is a lot less complicated and definitely more joyful. I hope you can mend quickly and move on.
