I have been dating someone for 7 years and have lived together twice. He recently moved out but we were still together. I recently found out he has been on some hookup websites and doing meth behind my back. He has also done this in previous years. He has done alot in 7 years to upset me and lose trust. I was going to break up with him but I'm stuck feeling like I want him to care and want me. He says it was all a mistake and would never act on it.I'm confused, crying alot. I can't eat, I'm doing the bare minimum to take care of my teen daughter. I'm also stressed about my work losing its funding and my job ending. Plus my daughter has major surgery coming up.I don't know what to do. I don't know who to talk to and I don't know how to function anymore. All I do is sit and cry and not eat. I've had to take time off work.

I'm so sorry to hear about all the stress and pain you're going through. It sounds like you're in a very difficult situation and it's completely understandable that you're feeling overwhelmed. It's normal to feel stuck and unsure of what to do when someone you love has broken your trust and caused you so much pain.

It's important to prioritize your own well-being and take care of yourself during this time. Is there anyone you can reach out to? a close friend or family member, and talk about what you're going through?

Try to focus on self-care and doing things that bring you comfort, such as spending time with loved ones or engaging in activities you enjoy. You deserve to be in a healthy and supportive relationship. It can also be helpful to seek support from a therapist or counselor, who can provide you with guidance and support as you navigate things in this challenging time - and take things one day at a time, and please don't be too hard on yourself.
