It is not your fault. No matter how much you are thinking, “I should have done this” or “I could have done that.” It is not your fault. It was his decision to break the trust you had in the relationship.

I know you hurt. The decision to trust someone again who did that or to end the relationship is in your hands. Pray about it.

You didn’t deserve this. No girl deserves to be lying in a bubble bath crying and asking God, “Why did this happen to me.”

Learn from it. Chalk it up as a lesson learned in your book of experiences. You’ll know the next time when you’re in a similar situation and be able to get out of it sooner.

Don’t let it hold you back. I know you’re thinking, “How am I ever going to be able to trust anyone again?” There are still good people out there. Don’t take his mistake out on someone else.

Talk about it. I know it’s embarrassing because you don’t want your friend group to know and think any differently of you or him (especially if you’re trying to work things out with him), but talking to your best friend about it can take a load off your shoulders.

Wait. Don’t go out and get revenge, no matter how much you want to. Just wait. Things will all be made even in good time.

Stop thinking about it. It happened and yes it’s done. Trust me, you don’t want to know who, what, when, where, and how. Knowing the details will not change it fix anything.

You will love again; you will find someone who thinks you are wonderful; you will find your prince charming. Stay strong; it will get easier. I promise.
