Coping: but only just. My GF of 3 years cheated on me last Friday night.
Realising: people can surprise the hell outta you. Even those you know and love. Maybe that should be "especially those you know and love"
Squinting: crying (all day yesterday) makes my eyes hurt so bad I can barely read the screen (today).
***********
Editing: this to add that you could never imagine a worse "I was cheated on" story than the one that is my life. Honestly. It is so awful, it's surreal.
Asking: can/should you forgive a cheater? I'll make my own decision, but I wonder - does it ever work?

it depends on the situation. was it a one time.....I got too drunk and I fucked up and never want to see the person again?----who knows, this is real bad but maybe things can be worked through.
or was it a friendship/realtionship that started up and went on for awhile and then they fucked once or many times. ---if this is the case, the trust in your relationship is probably ruined for good and resentment time kicks in. sadness, madness and all of it.
I'm really sorry girl. I got cheated on and replaced some years ago, and then mind fucked for over a year and a half with my ex contacting me, (while she was seeing the new girl). It is the most pain I've ever had to deal with and the longest pain. Worse than breaking my jaw. Worse than anything. I felt like depressive death. I finally cut her out of my life and fought to be happy again and move on. Time spent with friends and meeting new people, experiencing new places to hang out etc, and movies/music can help you.
I can say, after all that shit,I finally found the right girl to be with. I'm now with the love of my life. So there is hope even if it feels like there isn't. take care.
