I think you are just burned out. Someone sucked up all your caring and love, and threw it in the trash. Cut yourself a break. I don't think you're being selfish. You've been hurt. Give yourself time to heal.

Also, take some me-time for yourself where you have to give as little of yourself emotionally as possible. That helped me after something similar happened to me.
