I am a 27 year old woman who is always cheated on in all my relationships. I have difficulty understanding why this keeps happening to me because I am a smart, attractive, loving person who would do anything for her man. Just recently my boyfriend and I split up. I'm really struggling right now because of it. We were only together for a year, but we've been through a lot during that time, such as living together since the day we met, pregnancy, abortion, and him getting laid off from his job, just to name a few. I found out he cheated on me for several months with a girl from his past that he said he loved. I actually heard from her that he bought her an engagement ring, but he denies it. For some reason, like a fool, I kept taking him back. He cried to me and begged me not to leave him, which made me think maybe he cared more than I thought he did. But I can't look at him the same anymore. I want to believe what he tells me, but it's hard to do. I need some advice on how I can cope with these feelings because they're constant and they distract me from everyday things. And I want to know why these patterns keep repeating themselves in my life. Prayer helps, but it doesn't make me hopeful for my future, because afterall, my future was supposed to include him, and now it's empty!
