The person I finally wanted to spend the rest of my life with has cheated on me.

[Bee1998]

I have been with my partner for almost four years now. 
I found out last week that when he went away to America for a work trip, that he tried to pursue another female behind my back. 
When I confronted my partner after finding out, he swore on his life and our relationship that nothing happened and he didn’t go through with anything. 
But I decided to message the girl myself today, and found out everything he told me was a lie. 
He invited her to his hotel room and made out with her and was touching her. 
I am not coping or dealing with that at all right now. 
I feel like giving up on my life. I have been hurt too many times. 
I’m 25 years old, and nothing has ever been easy for me. I finally thought I had found someone who was never going to hurt me. Someone I finally felt safe and happy and myself around. Someone I could trust and call home forever. 
I feel so sad and lost and hopeless.
