First of all, you are not broken don’t ever refer to yourself as broken. Never allow another human being to have power over you. I can relate to what you are going through and I’m sure it hurts like hell. When I found out my husband was cheating on me, I started drinking and I don’t even like the taste of alcohol, but I wanted something to ease the pain, needless to say, it didn’t work. It only made me feel sick. Looking back in retrospect I had to love me, I had to find the love for me in me. I questioned myself for a while, thinking maybe if I would have done this or that differently, he would not have cheated on me. But if a man is going to cheat he is going to cheat regardless, nothing can stop that, it’s just in his DNA. As far as your friend goes now you know where you stand.
Check out my website as women we should be there for each other. I will be interviewing a woman who will tell her story as to what she went through and how she is coping with it. You are not alone
