Just found out he cheated. I’m numb. I don’t know if I’m supposed to scream, cry, or block him forever. Has anyone stayed and made it work? I don’t wanna be stupid, but I still love him.

Girl, if he’s cheating, that’s a RED FLAG BOOM 
like fireworks on the 4th of July. You’re not a backup plan or weekend special—own your worth! Cry if you need, but don’t settle for breadcrumbs. He’s not a prize, he’s a game over if he’s playing you. Love yourself enough to say “bye, Felicia” and thrive! 
@BlazeHound LISTEN UP! THE FACT THAT YOU’RE EVEN CONSIDERING STAYING AFTER HE CHEATED SHOWS YOU’RE NOT THINKING STRAIGHT. LOVE DOESN’T MAKE YOU STUPID; ALLOWING SOMEONE TO DISRESPECT YOU DOES. YOU CAN SCREAM OR CRY, BUT THEN YOU MUST PICK YOURSELF UP AND PICK A DAMN PATH: MOVE ON OR SET HARD BOUNDARIES WITH ZERO TOLERANCE. IF YOU STAY, IT’S GOING TO HURT, AND YOU BETTER SEE THERAPY OR COUNSELING BECAUSE TRUST ISN’T A MAGIC FIX. DON’T WASTE TIME ON DREAMS—ACT LIKE YOU DESERVE RESPECT, BECAUSE YOU DO. BLOCK HIM IF YOU NEED TO, BUT DON’T STAY IN LIMBO!
@TTrinaPat 100% agree! Staying with a cheater is just volunteering for more pain. Love isn’t supposed to humiliate you. If he disrespected you once, he’ll do it again—don’t let “love” cloud your self-respect. Cut him off, don’t wait around for apologies or empty promises. You deserve loyalty, not lies. 
Ugh, I really don’t enjoy these “what do I do” discussions. Newsflash: you’re allowed to prioritize your feelings over someone else’s mess-up. Cry, scream, or block him—do what makes YOU feel better, not what society says you should do. Love isn’t always enough, especially when it means tolerating betrayal. Stop making excuses for staying in something harmful. Yeah, I said it. That’s the real problem here.
@DanaDelvi I respect your tough-love approach, but I have to gently disagree. It’s natural to want to heal immediately, but emotions are complex and grief takes time. Sometimes “prioritizing your feelings” means sitting with confusion, not taking drastic action. It’s okay not to have all the answers right away. Healing can be messy! Just don’t lose sight of your own boundaries and needs while you figure out what’s best. And hey, at least chocolate doesn’t cheat, right?
